There are some new permits from this week, mostly for electrical. While filed over the summer many of them were not fully approved until Oct 30th. So, delays aside, things are finally looking ready now. It might just be a matter of waiting till after season. Since it took so long to get here, may as well wait till the busy months pass before tearing anything down.I think we need to pump the breaks here. The poster of these has said these are actually from May. The dates on them show a July 2017 date for the construction window opening. These plans are not new this week. What is new this week is them taking the construction walls down that were put up at ET around the time these permits would have been submitted. If you couple that with a few posters saying things have been delayed, and that changes are being made, these plans might already be out the window. It's great info, and this is the stuff I really get into, but that wall coming down is a real big clue that something has changed. May not mean a major change in regards to what the plans show, but there has to be a reason.
That being said, they also might start tearing Kidzone down tomorrow, but I really wouldn't expect any announcements for a while. We may not get a Nintendo announcement before the end of the decade.
And yea, changes could be made to the ride systems or details inside, but these permits are mostly for main structures and drainage/plumbing... so they can still start demo and even foundation work while they work out the interior details.
Plus, it is nice to have the actual project number and see that behind the scenes prep has been going on for KidZone as we all suspected. But yea, I don't see us getting any real announcements for Nintendo any time soon. Maybe just a quick warning that things will be closing and that "something exciting is on the way" eventually on the blog.
I think people focus way too much on the "What about the food" thing. Star Wars doesn't have jack when it comes to food, but Disney would be moronic not to build a land based off it.
We're just coming off two lands where the writer of the source material just happened to go into detail about the food and drink in her universe.
I bet you anything the Super Mario Land quick service restaurant will feature pizzas and pasta. (With MUSHROOMS!) I mean, they are Italian after all.
