Rumor WDW Rumor Tracker - Revenge of the Fifth (Supercharge of $60 Billion Edition)

[Moth]

Fixed up links, added a link to the Sacred Timeline thread and added some more stuff regarding the status of PLAY!, after digging it looks like a reliable source has never said the word "cancelled" but. despite it very likely being it's fate, I refuse to say it without a disclaimer.

 

[Moth]

Since there was nothing to add today. I think this thread is ready for it's sticky?

 

[Moth]

Added some deets to Beyond Big Thunder and Test Track v3. Just Cars being seemingly not in the running and the timeline for Test Track being unclear.

@The Mom Thread is ready for official launch! Pinging for a sticky.

@Moth / @Door Coaster Do you know if an International Park Rumor Tracker was ever set up? If not, I'm more than happy to take on that project if one hasn't been set up

Your free to do so! I don't think one has.

Thank you! I’ll suggest this again, we have 4 other versions of this thread. There’s really no need to keep things crossed out, delete them.

Gut it down to the bones, no one needs to see rumors from 7 years ago. Hopefully there will be more action and substance moving forward, but that doesn’t need to be bogged down by a running timeline of long cancelled projects.

Since you brought it up I’ll agree. There’s way too much fluff in the current tracker, much of which exists from many years ago and can be cut to streamline the tracker to current rumors and projects.

Not my place to tell someone else how to run their thread, but as this forum is WDW-focused I personally feel it makes sense to pay careful attention bringing the WDW tracker up to date.

I wanted to keep the crossed out stuff for information reasons but I do want to trim down on the fat in the posts.

Thanks. I've made one for Disneyland Paris and one for the Asia Parks:

Rumor - International Project/Rumor Tracker

Since there isn't a Rumor Tracker for the International Parks, I thought I'd set one up. If I miss anything, please feel free to let me know so I can add it to the Tracker This is a collection of rumors from trusted insiders (not wild speculation or assumptions). They don't come from me. The...

Totally get it! Tons of work went into building this in the past, but that’s what the old threads are for. You don’t see a front facing revision history on a wiki article. It’s just really not easy to read and frankly about 5% of the rumors on there are active, which is really quite difficult to figure out. I have to click every source to find out it’s something Martin said in 2017… so it’s really not relevant.

The harder option, if everyone prefers the current format with way more information, would be to date the rumors in the source link I.e. [here - 2017]

I am naturally quite grateful to the effort put into these threads, absolutely not a criticism of anyone who has put past or current effort into the trackers. Just a suggestion acknowledging I’m not the one doing the work!

I like the link with the year option, rather than getting rid of a rumor completely. It's sometimes fun to see the evolution of said rumor.

NBA Experience Building: No reliable source has given any pointers on what will be done with this location.

A permit was filed for the building this week. Might be something, might be nothing.

A permit was filed for the building this week. Might be something, might be nothing.

Gonna put that in with the update likely going out tonight or tomorrow!

 

[TarzanForever]

Interesting tid bits to see the timing of epic universe and the HK (hong Kong) announcement. I think related for sure with the building permits listed above. I’ve heard work could being quicker than anticipated and also especially since Tianna opens up this summer. It bears the question on what could be next and also before we know it?

A few things for when you do your next update regarding new entertainment coming to WDW:

MSEP ending at Disneyland on Sept 1, WDW return in 2023?

Makes you wonder if MK is even looking towards the Future......... Of course they are, it's all Blue Skies ahead! 🤣🤣🤣

I still look for Festival of Fantasy to be replaced soon. I wouldn't be surprised if a new daytime parade will be their answer to Epic Universe.

This is really interesting because I know you were talking about how new entertainment additions were being greenlit very recently and you somewhat hinted at possible additions to Luminous over at Epcot. Could the drone test have anything to do with these things? @wdwmagic

I could be wrong. But yeah, what I've heard is MK and HS are the focus. This is all off the top of my head, so help me clarify my thinking here. The thing I don't know is whether the strategy Disney's betting on is: Add to already-popular parks -or- Add to less-popular parks Strategy #1...

Well wdwmagic did say plans for a night parade are in the works, but what we don’t know and it wasn’t clarified yet if it’s related to a possible drone show like the Paris Electrical Sky Parade or if it’s an actual light parade “one the ground”.
