The Rumor Tracking Thread

[Texans_loyal]

Am I the only one that thinks Moana would be perfect in Adventure land? I doubt they would put her at the Polynesian. They want people in the parks spending money.

These are also great choices! I just think Greece would look really beautiful and literally anything that could have a Hercules tie in is a big YES in my book. That movie does not get enough attention! (but neither do a lot from my childhood, i.e. Mulan and Pocahontas)

Egypt would be really cool though too. My hope for Brazil is that they serve the cheese bread year round!

EDIT:: also is there any information about when we might get a timeline?

No hard time line yet, and to make SOME here happy, nothing has been fully green lit either. I believe the hope is to get UK add, and France add and some work in FW done by 50th. An additional pavilion by either the 50th or for Epcot's 45th. Again, this is all supposition right now

Moana would be perfect fit in Adventureland plus I think Adventureland needs more love.

I disagree. Adventureland would be one of the last places that needs love. Tomorrowland and Frontierland need love.

Definitely Tommorrowland but besides touch ups what more does Frontierland need? It already has two e tickets

Frontierland, tomorrowland, and the majority of adventureland haven't been touched since the early 90's...

That doesn't work in any amusement park...you need constant vigilance

Some of this is redundant, as it is in the 50th thread, but want to keep it all together:

New country to WD by 50th celebration - Spain is the option per Lentesta@WDWMagic.com, but I think he gives credit to Jim Hill.
Rat will be in France by 2020 per Martin and MagicFeather at WDWMagic.com - due to Bobs wanting this - BatB is still an option, but timeline is driver now.

Is it bad that I feel like Spain is an uninspired choice? Or do we think it's linked with the release of Gigantic?? I'm still dying for it to be Greece but I really liked the Egypt idea too and honestly I agree we need a South American country.

I agree. Europe is already very well represented. South America really needs some representation.

I would also be in favor of a Russia pavilion but timing wise....

I just saw that Disneyland's Disney Jr Live on Stage is changing to Disney Jr Dance Party. I know that that puppeteers from both the DL and WDW (HS) shows; is there any word on whether a Dance Party is coming to Florida?

DHS is staying as is for now.

Latest from MagicFeather and Martin and a few others - TL is getting some love, we knew that, in MK, but TRON WILL be in TL in some form, prior to 50th. One rumor is Tron Coaster in Speedway, but that has been killed by these above. More like some other revamp for the Speedway. could be a new ride, could be a restage.

Jim Hill said that.

Made some updates to the first post. Let me know if there are other things I need to change/add.

 

[Phicinfan]

Okay some really tasty information on Epcot is coming out.

First new Pavillions look to be Brazil, then Spain, then possibly Puerto Rico - one is about as closed to lock(Brazil), then Spain then PR.

expectations of order once they decide to build Per MagicFeather and Martin:
Indeed. IMO regarding likely hood rankings-
1. M:S
2. Rat
3. GotG
4. UK Add (the small one)
5. New WS Country #1
6. Land Reno
7. Spain

This alongside other near guaranteed projects.

I'd be surprised at this stage if all those (except 7) didn't happen. Plus a few more items like you said.

Net, SOME are saying we are getting adds. Now, in time for the 50th, it looks like only up to #4, but GotG may push out some due to design.

Puerto Rico seems like an odd choice, since it's currently part of the US and could be moving towards statehood.

That's exactly what I thought
