New Theater at Magic Kingdom

[Nick]

I wouldn't mind if they renamed it as a "movie house" or "picture house", etc.. I'm not sure exactly what terms are appropriate for the period.

It's gone under two different names in the past - The "Exposition Hall" and "Hospitality House"

I like Exposition Hall.

“Hospitality” reminds me of SeaWorld/Busch Gardens in the 1980s.

They could literally just put in the Aladin Show from the Hyperion and I'll be thrilled. Very anxious to see what the show ends up being.

Best case scenario right here. But it'll probably be something else.

I wonder what will go in this theater
A musical like Tangled or Aladdin?
Or maybe we get something like Mickey and the magical map

According to wdwmagic this project has been cancelled
I hope it is not true

This is fishy as heck. How does this happen? How does it get this far just to die? Weird. Super weird.

This is a weird one. Is it cancelled because it seems like there's only one source and I can't tell if other people have heard something similar from their own sources or are reporting that rumour and it's just adding fuel to the fire.

Maybe they just moved it to the lot beside Copperfield's...

Right. Martin didn't really address it. And just because they're moving equipment doesn't necessarily mean it's off.

I haven't heard that rumor yet, but it's not unprecedented for something to be announced, and even promoted, only to never be built.





etc etc

EDIT: Beat me to it!

All true. But off the top of my head, I don't think any of those came this close to breaking ground.

 

[Mad Dog]

A bummer if true. This was actually the D23 announcement I was most looking forward to.....WDW Magic generally does not make front page announcements unless they have solid info, so it's probably true. Also, Marni commented and did not dispute the construction closing. Sad day.....Hopefully, the Epcot stuff is still online. Who knows though.

 

[Bulldog45]

Fake News.

 

[RevFreako]

Fake News.

Based on...?

Not a thing...was just trying to make light of everything Trump says is "Fake News."

 

[Miketheboss]

I always thought it was too good to be true. The Magic Kingdom doesn’t really need this.

 

[RevFreako]

First rule of journalism: if the headline is a question, the answer is no. .I'll believe it when Disney announces it.

What is the source of this rumor?

Actually it really does and especially will once TRON opens.

WDW Tragic. Some guy that "knows people that work there" is the only one posting confirmation. Their first page article just says sources close to the project.

EDIT: Just saw Martin confirm and say to expect offical news soon. Damn.

I'll believe it when I hear it from Disney. There were many times in 2012-2013 when rumors all seemed to indicate that Pandora would be cancelled or replaced with something else.
