I've actually heard way earlier
I think Al2020 said they were originally hoping to soft by the end of this year. It seems like it's going fast, they had the whole ride system constructed before the building went up around it. So Christmas / early Jan I think wouldn't be unreasonable if we see walls come down in November.
If it's opening this year, I hope they start on the Baker street transformation soon, getting a bit concerned they are just going to open SLOP in Baker street rather than turning it into NY!

I'd rather see the parisian plaza leveled completely for a full Illumination area. Regardless if they did do any work on that area it would start in jan after the holiday rush.
Honestly speaking, I can easily see them doing it more as "Set dressing"; as they could just reconfigure signage and logos for the area.
Y'know, especially if Parisian Courtyard's going in the next few years, it'd be better to just do minor tweaks until they fully demo.
I think late this year might be a little premature. Forbidden Journey had team members on site for nearly 10 months before opening; Hippogriff was five months. Even though it's not a complicated ride, there are all sorts of testing and certifications that new rides have to undergo. As of right now, it's only 51 days until Thanksgiving and 78 until Christmas. That doesn't seem like enough time to get a new ride up and running.
Pets Place + Minion Way = Illumination Land? I am now very curious about the fate of Parisian Plaza and / French Street.
Add a Sing show and you're pretty much there already.

Give it a few years. :tease:
Meanwhile to show just how far along, portions of the facade scrim are coming down!
is anyone else bothered by how lazy and cheap this already looks with the blank soundstage walls instead of finishing the facade. Smh. In 2019 (2020).
