Here now and they were filming a commercial today. Looks like they finished it around Moana

Moana looks (from what could be seen from monorail and walking by) like it’ll be a good addition.

I'm not normally big on Stairs: The Ride, but if it opens by my trip, I will at least check it out once. I know there will be S.E.A. connections, so I have to go at least once.

Wonder where they are on the developments of a live action version of this....

Just would need to be done on Avatar level CGI.... not Marvel / Star Wars level.

Of course it would

I am currently re-watching Gargoyles for the first time since it was on - I forgot how good it was!

Last I knew it was in the hands of Kenneth Branagh to develop, but that was also pre-strikes…

Would Disney VFX artists recently voting to strike impact that too? As well as other Disney productions that aren't the MCU?

As far as production, yeah if they’re still striking at that point it’d have some effect and Disney would shift more onto outside VFX groups.

As of right now the Gargoyles Live action is still in a development/writing stage so who knows if it ever happens.

Honestly, I'd almost rather they just not. It'd never be as good. Now, if they just wanted to do an animated sequel series or even a movie - yeah, that'd work!

They should’ve gotten that done before we lost Ed Asner

True, but all of the other voice actors are around. Honestly, I can't imagine if they did a movie and Keith David was not Goliath!

It wouldn’t be worth doing without him

With those dates, I wonder what the chances of it being open during my mid-October trip. I am not DVC or an AP holder. I’m not feeling optimistic.
