I suppose a small positive is confirmation that PLAY pavilion and Moana walk through are still on the table (literally), as they were the other upcoming attractions whose future was unclear
I can't remember which part of Innovations was supposed to be replaced by Moana, the bit with Club Cool or the bit that had Baymax/Inside Out meet and greet?

Knotts Berry Farm reopening for the next two weekends. This is for the “Knott’s Taste of Calico” food and retail event. Rides will not open.

This makes them the third California park to reopen in some manner I believe.
