Wow that designer was VERY interesting and somewhat telling. Must read imo

yeah he even talked about an epic universe coaster.

Ya, and showed a pic of testing in VR. Awesome stuff

woah off topic but I went through his website and if you click on XR experiences it mentions working on the power up bands!

I know it’s bad to just have baseless speculation, but if you were to guess when this would open when do you think it would be? This is just a what if situation based on the current ongoings of the world.

I’d guess by the time the rescheduled summer Olympics happen. Maybe next spring to early summer. But that’s just a guess.

They said they’ll announce details this fall when they make a decision though. So, hopefully we’ll learn something soon.

Nothing much going on, but this is a recently uploaded video of SNW of day and nighttime. Some work going on there too as well.

Is that lantern near bowser’s castle new?

My god, the attention to detail with the dust/mist produced when the Thwomp goes down.

Never noticed the shy guy walking around!

The amount of movement in here is just so cool!

From @Alicia--SNW is bumped to Early 2021

Is this our reward for surviving 2020?

I'm really not sure this would happen, I mean, regardless of how good certain countries contains the virus, the pandemic is still at large worldwide and there hasn't been a safe and effective vaccine being available to the masses. I would still guess maybe summer 2021 would my prediction.

I mean, even though the country is closed to outside visitors, Tokyo Disneyland is opening their new Fantasyland attractions including Beauty and the Beast later this month. Just like Orlando opened Bourne and Hollywood may open Pets when it opens, they may still open new attractions to at very least get locals in the door.

As Alicia says--TDR is opening Fantasyland's expansion and the Baymax family ride. It wouldn't be far fetched if they do a small campaign for local and Japan-exlcusive for a Jan/February opening if they are looking to it..and then doing a larger blowout with the Tokyo Summer Olympics.

Test the waters with locals--make everything right.

Also, if this is a company wide email this is internal targets. They will likely say “Delayed until 2021” with no further information on a date and decide on that later.

Its weird hearing Beauty is opening soon but not this. I get maybe not today but by Chritmas you'd think they'd want crowds to be able to see it.....we wont have a vaccine in everyones hand until mild next year, so don't know the difference between it opening in the fall vs early next year when both time frames wont have a vaccine

Coincidentally..no, that's not what I have understood.

They specifically cited, "Early 2021" and not saying "Delayed until 2021", from what I've gathered.
