And.......
Yes
To my knowledge it has yet to be greenlit. So yes, they may be waiting to do so until movie hits market. That being said, if it does as well as expected, and as well has Disney animated has gone, they will be ready to move quickly.Would they wait until it's at least RELEASED to see the reaction before green lighting?
I know they rushed to capitalize on Frozen fever and were WAY LATE (to say the least) with Little Mermaid, but seems like quite a risk to consider an attraction around something not even out yet.
Then again, could it be worse than what's been there (IMO eminently "skip-able" both originally and now)?
Crazy that it takes 3 years to build a ride that already exists somewhere else.
Well they haven't started yet. It's also slated by Q2 in 2020 so that's early 2020.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Part of the problem is that both parks/companies use the same resources to build the rides.
What do you mean?
There are only a few companies that build the actual rides. So if they go to a company and say We need a new ride for 2018, that compnay can say, "we would need to hire 20 more engineers and 40 testers to get it done by then. It will cost you". As it is, the companies that do this run through engineers pretty quickly, because it is a high stress job, with very tight schedules.
While true Disney does use different companies in the different regions of the world the parks are in. Imagineering always does the majority of the design and creative work. Then there are companies Disney contracts to build them. I know of several that they use in Florida however I don't know if those companies also work in Anaheim. Take Star Wars for example. In Anaheim and Florida both are the same project however both coasts do have some different companies. They are not both using all of the same companies.
