New Solar Panels... is the ship from the concept art cut?
New Solar Panels... is the ship from the concept art cut?
I believe the concept art showed the ship on the slanted part of the roof, where there will be solar panels. A giant ship would create a shadow over the panels, which would make them pointless.What makes you think it’s been cut?
:doh:I've only ever seen it in the front. In art and in the Epcot Experience model even.

It does look like other parts of the queue are farther along as you can see the wall up behind this area. Obviously after 2.5 years, you'd hope it to be further along, but from what I heard, similar to Maelstrom, when they started interior work and removal of UoE, they quickly realized that they had to gut the entire building and basically start from scratch. Based on what Martin has said, it would've been cheaper and faster for them to have demolished the building and started over completely. I'm kinda happy they didn't do that though since I don't trust Disney to theme a show building these days.I don't know whether I'm surprised or not that they're not further along inside there after 2.5 years.
Disney construction timelines gonna Disney construction timelineDoes anyone know why this project is taking so long? Yes, covid puts them ~3 months(?) behind and gutting the building obviously took longer than expected, but the track started going up months ago. Why on earth do they need 2 more years to finish this?
Disney timelines are really no different than Universal. Both set something for a certain year so that they’ll have something opening that year and they focus their construction timelines around the opening timeframes.Disney construction timelines gonna Disney construction timeline
What really sucks is that they had to stop construction. I mean, I get it due to Disney’s situation, but it’s frustrating thinking of how much they could’ve gotten done when you look at how far Universal has come with their new coaster.The frustrating thing is that Disney builds things at such a lackluster speed that it's like they're constantly anticipating lower revenue, and then when a slowdown actually does materialize, it compounds what's already their M.O.
