So are we to understand, from the foregoing posts, that BOTH announced and unannounced projects have deadlines? Wow!
Of course both have deadlines. But if you absolutely have to push back a deadline, will you do it for the project with the announced deadline or the unannounced deadline? In the vast majority of cases, I'm assuming the latter.

We still don't know for fact whether or not Universal is indeed building a third gate. Does it seem likely right now? Of course. Is it a guarantee? No. For all we know, they could still surprise us and say "we're building 20 new hotels." Nothing is official until announced to the public. And there's not nearly as much pressure to finish a project with no announced completion date as there is for a roller coaster that had an opening date of June 13th. I'm simply saying that projects with announced completion dates are going to receive more attention and have more pressure to complete than a project that has no exact completion date and can have its completion pushed back without the public ever really knowing about it.

Whether they are building a third gate or not, work is going on to prep land for something. Just because a project hasn't been announced to the public doesn't mean it doesn't have an exact completion date.

But how many of the things you mentioned for Disney have firm public dates?

None except Star Wars which is why Runaway Railway is delayed. Would Disney rather push back Runaway Railway or come out and say “Sorry but Star Wars won’t be done by August 29th?” Obviously the former which is what I suspect happened.

20 new hotels that share one massive parking lot? There is enough public information our there. Things are official before they are announced to the public. You keep changing this metric because it makes no sense. Construction is going on for something at various locations and the fact that you personally do not know what those things are has absolutely no bearing on their timetables or their importance.

The re-allocation of resources to Star Wars is only part of the reason for Runaway Railroads delay.
And those types of resources are typically not something that will be critical to maintaining the timetable of something in design or earlier in construction.

Well forgive me for waiting until something is officially announced to believe it is a 100% legit done deal. That's just how I see things. I do indeed believe Universal is building a third park. But if it turns out it's something else, I can't say I'm incredibly shocked given a third park has not been announced yet.
What has a bearing is whether or not there is an announced completion date.
Announced completion date = we'd better make that date or else people are angry
Unannounced completion date = we should make it by this date but if it needs to be pushed back, we can do so without a public fallout

What you believe is completely irrelevant. It has no bearing. Timetables are determined before any announcement and are driven by financial projections, not some arbitrary guess that only becomes firm when marketing is given the go ahead.

It is more than well known a new UNI park is coming to Orlando. They've got the land cleared and other prep work ongoing. Not sure what further proof you need.

Do we need a launched, indoor coaster next to a launched, mostly indoor coaster?

Yes, especially in the MK. Should be more accessible for younger people which Tron isn't so much.

GotG will serve as the thrill ride through space that Space Mountain once was. Everyone is happy at the end of the day.
