Upcoming/Rumored Projects

Wouldn't it be something if a 10 year old show gets replaced before 20+ year old shows at DHS? Sigh.

But that's the thing, as good as some of these shows are, they DO need to be switched out with something new.

Are the walls still up around "it's a small world" is it possible they're removing the tent facade?

From your mouth to God's ears.

I never expect those crappy tent facades to ever change, but I will forever hold out hope that they do.

Same here. At least they did something with Pooh, but Small World and Pan desperately need a makeover. Pan needs a complete overhaul inside and out.

Thanks... and boooo

I think it's a very good move because they moved the stand bye que to the middle and kept the FP+ que on the left. Plus the gilded looking pillars are cool.

How long has Beauty and Beast been running?! Seriously. Twice was enough for me in all my visits. Let that thing go away and keep NEMO please. Or replace it with something as good as NEMO.

With a Live Action BatB coming in March, I think they're keeping it around...

 

[CanadianGordon]

I think the Finding Nemo show should stay.until they at least replace the Beauty and the Beast that's been there for 20 years... Sheesh.

There are a lot of confirmed projects and a number of substantiated rumors although they are all kind of spread through the threads. Perhaps it has been all put together somewhere but I can't find it. The closest I can find is the original post in this thread but right now it is a year old, some of those things have been built and a lot changed since then.

Here is my attempt to put together known and rumored timeline (and I kept it only to probable rumors, not long shots). I would definitely appreciate comments and especially corrections if something is wrong or missing. Also, I have included UNI here as well - that perhaps belongs to a separate thread but I thought it'd be fun to see them next to WDW projects.

WDW

2017
AK - Rivers of Light
AK - Avatar Land (Flight of Passage simulator, Na'Vi River Journey boat ride)

2018
HS - Toy Story Land (Slinky Dog Dash coaster, Alien Saucer Spin spinner)

2019
HS - Star Wars Land (Battle attraction, Millennium Falcon simulator)
HS - Mickey Mouse ride replacing Great Movie Ride
MK - Wreck It Ralph replacing Stitch Escape

2020
EP - Guardians of the Galaxy replacing Universe of Energy


UNI

2017
Volcano Bay (new water park)
USF - Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon

2018
USF - Fast & Furious: Supercharged

2019
nothing

2020
USF - Nintendo Land (Mario Kart dark ride, Donkey Kong Mine Train, perhaps Yoshi's Island replacing E.T. Adventure)

Nice summary! I would add the raft ride at Typhoon Lagoon for 2017.

 

[Marlins1]

It has been a long time coming but the WDW list actually looks much stronger than Uni's at this point. The Nintendo Land does sound very cool though!

Love the list, hope you can keep in going.

I thought I'd read that Wreck-it-Ralph was out for SGE, but something different was in?

 

[Rteetz]

I never heard of this rumor until now, but im just gonna put that rumor to rest. The sponser of the Great Movie Ride (TNC) has like a 10 year contract with Disney. So the odds of a Mickey Mouse inspired ride going into the Grand Chinese Theater within the next two years is not likely

No they don't have a 10 year contract.

 

[lazyboy97o]

They have to have some dontract that lasts a couple of years

Yes, and it is a short contract. There is a whole thread on the subject.

Wrong. A 5-year contract between TCM and Disney was announced in November 2014 --> http://www.orlandosentinel.com/business/os-disney-turner-classic-movies-20141126-story.html

Nothing Disney does these days gets built in 2 years, and a replacement for GMR has been discussed for a while. @marni1971 broke the news months ago.

You shouldn't talk about things you don't know about.

[Time_machine]

I haven't kept up with the news on the GMR so please excuse my ignorance but does the rumoured shutdown/overhaul have anything to do with contracts for some of the movies used as scenes in the ride being up for renewal?

I do know what im talking about.
