Are we still believing this is 2+ years from opening? It's gotta open in 2020, right? There's no way they are already to track install and still have that long to go.

Are we still believing this is 2+ years from opening? It's gotta open in 2020, right? There's no way they are already to track install and still have that long to go.

I guess that would depend on what has to go up around the tracks. Did we ever figure out what the scenery around the track will be?

If it's mostly screens or something like RNRC then I can see it being done soon. If they're actually putting animatronics or complicated stuff then it could take longer.

Rumored Year is still 2021 but they do seem to be working on this pretty quickly. I’m not sure how much work they got done inside the universe of energy building though. I know they gutted the whole building already but not sure how much work is left to be done inside there.

REVIEW

Ballast Points brewery & Kitchen soft opens at Downtown Disney

https://wdwnt.com/2019/01/review-ballast-point-opens-in-downtown-disney/

As a selective beer drinker (a.k.a. a beer snob) I do like Ballast Point and think they are one of the best when it comes to making beer with other "stuff" added (fruit, etc.). Definitely worth trying if you are in the area

it's supposed to be a unique ride system so I am sure it will take a lot of testing to get right and there are, i think, supposed to be a number of scenes with mix of screens and physical sets, etc. - plus the very immersive queue with multiple pre-shows (and there were reports the Universe of Energy Building was not in great shape. But still, I would think at least early 2021 is possible/likely vs "just in time for the 50th on Oct 1, 2021)
