So essentially no change from what’s been officially announced. A year delay, then a reassessment.

Looks that way

Seems to be the right thing to do. I think we all expect at least a year delay. Not sure what good calling it cancelled right now would do.

I'm guessing that at DL, the Splash section will be rethemed to New Orleans Square, wonder what will happen to Critter Country, as that will just be Winnie the Pooh and Hungry Bear Restaurant, right?

Some nut job on the Community Boards even suggested re-theming part of WDW into another New Orleans Square to reconcile the theming mismatch once Splash Mountain in Florida undergoes the refurb!

LOL I was about to comment that it wasn't that crazy...then I paid attention to the OP LOL.

I had said as much when my husband and I were talking about it. I think you could leave Liberty Square intact on the left as you're walking from HM, but starting with the riverboat create a transition into Frontierland that converted that area into a new orleans theme.

Been hoping an epcot reservation opens up for today or tomorrow so I could try to pick this up (been looking for past 2 days). no luck

I know it is blasphemy around these parts, but I'm not exactly a fan of Carousel of Progress. It's true. On the pod cast, when they were talking about major attractions going dark, I thought of Carousel and hoped.

Looking at Tomorrowland, Tron is a welcome addition. Speedway could really use an update. The rest is fantastic. Hopefully they fill Stitch someday soon (I'm sure it'll be a while with the pandemic revenue loss).

How does a standing but not operating ride benefit anyone?

Yeah, I’m rather confused by the DL discussion. I assume that’s what the tweet was about.

It was a tweet saying that Epic Universe may have been shelved indefinitely. But now it seems they’re just pausing on the construction for the foreseeable future.

Ya .. I can't see an entire theme park being even started when Universal (and Disney) are going to struggle to fill the current theme parks for who knows HOW long.

Speaking of which .. are any of the parks (except maybe DHS) reaching capacity? Do they even need limits right now? Most vlogger videos I have seen show the parks SO very empty.

So are they implying that they think instead of epic universe with different themes, it could mostly be nintendo park?

Seriously. I cannot understand leaving vacant spaces in buildings. Yet, it happens frequently.

No that Nintendo will be built at Studios park instead. Epic Universe will be re-evaluated and likely be different whenever it does get built.
