↩ replying to LittleBufordIt seems like practical considerations might actually point towards fewer preshows - less staffing, less complex ops, etc.

↩ replying to DCBakerCurious why they didn't pour concrete "all at once" like they did for Cosmic Rewind

More theming removed from the MuppetVision 3D facade and building.
Pictures from site that shall not be named..
And this what the facade, especially the clock tower, looked like beforehand.

question, since idk much about the actual building process. not counting the actual door coaster, is it possible for this land and for Cars at MK to be done in the next 12-18 months, since they've already seem to be wrapping up the demo faze and are not really building much new things more re theming current stuff at monsters, or for cars just doing new landscaping. which to me naively doesn't strike me as time consuming like building a big land ground up like villains to TA

↩ replying to Nickm2022Tropical Americas is the furthest along - it will open in 2027.
Guessing the doors coaster opens in 2028 although technically they could have it open in 2027 - it seems possible if the keep moving.
That puts cars at 2028 or 2029.
Logically spacing everything a year a part is smart for marketing - but DHS needs the capacity and they have an easy space to build on so it may happen pretty fast - although that’s potentially a sign of a fairly simple coaster

↩ replying to TrainsOfDisneyI agree with this, but more so im asking with the current pace of everything could we get two openings in the same year, ie cars and monsters both in early 2028

↩ replying to Nickm2022I think it would be more likely that monsters catches up to tropical Americas.
The MK project is much more complex. I feel like phase 1 is just leveling all the land and creating a flat foundation they can build on.
Then after that they can actually start the project of creating piston peak.
That’s a complete guess on my part.

↩ replying to TrainsOfDisneyI wonder if we will see a vertical steel beam installed at Frontierland in 2026, I think the jury is out on that one.

↩ replying to Nickm2022Possible and plausible are often very different things.
The current pace isn’t that fast. You’re falling into a common trap. There are phases of work where it is much easier to see changes but they are not indicative of an accelerated timeline.

↩ replying to lazyboy97ono phase can be more quickly done than outright (indiscriminate) demo

↩ replying to Nickm2022”Intent to Visit” reasons will likely spread these out to maximize revenue.
This feels very Fiscal:
10/1/2027 - Tropical Americas opens
10/1/2028 - Monstropolis doorcoaster opens

↩ replying to Nickm2022Cars is way more then just new landscaping. It's very likely to be a whole new artificial mountain like Big Thunder or Seven Dwarfs mine ride. All they have done so far is land clearing, it will move into infrastructure work next.

↩ replying to mattpetoAgreed. And this makes the early closure of MV3D even more frustrating. At worst, it could have had a Dino-to-Indy timeline. 3+ years to switch out a 3D show is asinine, especially in a park that desperately needs capacity.

↩ replying to ToTBellHopDHS has a better capacity than AK. I agree they should have left Muppets up as long as possible... but it's not as critical to the park as Dinosaur is to AK.

↩ replying to PurduevianExcept once you compare reliability. DAK's attractions are rather reliable. DHS's headliners are constantly down.
DAK will definitely be a nightmare next year, though. Wonder if they'll even stay open after dark a year from now.
