Given their current progress, I don't see why this couldn't open in 2022, though I understand that Tokyo often does construction at a 'glacial' pace.

It was delayed in January (to April 2023-March 2024), but as a result I think that will likely stick.
I'd also imagine it is earlier in that year long period than later.
The Fantasyland expansion is opening this year, if that's what you mean.

that sounds like a sensible timeline. Assuming the Olympics next year go ahead opening in 2023/4 would place it just before the 2025 expo in Osaka giving the resort something to market

2023 is also TDR's 40th anniversary.

From Themeparx. 933 is the village, so it does come down like I was speculating.
The most interesting part though is that the Tinkerbell ride is not a flat ride (like it was rumoured), but a boat or bus-bar type experience. I actually think this has been re-designed as it doesn't align with the model from the Imagineering Documentary.

Source appears to be a sign from the construction site, but there's no date. I wonder which one is the current design. OLC's recent annual report did have me concerned that Fantasy Springs might see a budget cut due to the financial impact of the coronavirus on the resort.

i'm so confused which one is the Tinkerbell ride and how can you tell it's not a flat ride?

That is it.
Only in Tokyo could a flat ride end up actually being more and surprisingly get "upgraded"
EDIT:
933 is Arendelle Village
931 is Frozen Ride
922/932 are Arendelle Castle restaurant and the Ugly Duckling Restaurant
921 is Tangled Ride
971 is a Backstage building
The Peter Pan building is not numbered but you can see the lagoon and boat in front

Here's the clearest art I've seen of the "flatride" (far right). Some kind of vehicles will go around a short, wavy track as the Plan shows:

I’d assume the construction sign is more up to date. The Imagineering documentary model I think was filmed about 18-24 months ago. Maybe even longer.

Reminds me of a Mack Splash Battle.

I was thinking something more along the lines of Heimlich's Chew Chew Train.

Wait wasn't there a canceled Pixie Hollow type of attraction that was coming to the Magic kingdom and got canceled ? Or the area was just for meet and greets? If there was supposed to be an attraction within pixie Hollow, It looks like it made its way into Tokyo DisneySea.
The track layout really looks like not a flat ride but rather it might go underground or have a some type of water feature.

Yes, but it was a flat ride, not like the one pictured here.

That attraction was a flat ride iirc. Something of a hybrid between the old Francis Ladybug Boogie and Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree.

Regarding about the construction leaks, It does look like Rapunzel ride might get The Shanghai Pirates technology and as For peterpan we might get the Flights of passage type Attraction.
