That’s kind of the way things go - there are areas that everyone knows needs something… Hollywoodland at DCA, Imagination at Epcot, Animation Courtyard… but it’s easier to just debate it for years than put pen to paper.My sources are never 100%, but I still get the vibe they’ve had about 30 different ideas for this area and genuinely can’t decide. I was pretty sure this would be Zootopia a year ago as I heard it’s definitely going to AK. Now that seems to be going to the Tree Of Life. Indy was then taking over potentially and now they’re re-thinking?
Problem is here they seem totally unwilling to gut the building. If they did that I wonder if they could get more creative with this space and other IP’s.
If Indy doesn’t happen, I’m guessing a primary culprit would be that someone got the estimate from WDI for the conversion and nearly fell out of his/her chair. There’s never been an official-ish $$$ on Tiana but it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s $200M - probably after WDI was given 50 and kept coming back asking for more.
