I was told around the same time as the Fear Factor closing that MiB’s time was getting cut short too. All of that is D23 response.

So, if this is the case, you'd hope they wait to close MIB once T2/Shrek replacement/MoM go live. IDK if USF can handle shutting MIB down before then
So, assuming this scuttlebutt is true...
USF
2018: F&F
2019: T2 replacement (Shrek replacement?)
2020: MOM (Shrek replacement?)
2021: Super Nintendo World
2022: Pokémon

That would make sense. It also increases the likelihood of MoM being an interactive wand-shooter. Open MoM, leave MiB open for a quarter to disperse some of the initial crowds, then close what will (should) be a lesser version of the same genre attraction three/four months later not long before Mushroom Kingdom opens.
I suspect James Bourne to open first part of 2019 (before Memorial Day). The Shrek replacement (should) would be a late-summer opening in 2019.
If Shrek replacement is a dark ride I'd just be surprised if they got it up that quick, but I hope so!

We better. Orlando City is screwed next season without him.
better question, if you can say what exactly has been added/plussed to phase 1?
Pics of a test track from S&S. Nothing in this tweet says this is for Nintendo, but the track sure looks like the rumored Donkey Kong patent.
That could be it. Ogden area in Utah is where they're doing the test work for Universal Nintendo. :thumbsup:

Cool! Where did you find that pic? Twitter isn't loading in your post for me.
Looks like he deleted the tweet. Joseph (@josephpojunis) | Twitter is the person who posted the pics. There were 4 in all. Theres an update on it on screamscape, but he was asked to take down the pics as well. Guessing the guy took pics he shouldn't have and got in trouble.
Confirmation by photo tweet elimination .
:thumbsup:...Good find fryoj.
I wonder how that single photo survived the purge. No worries, I saved it!
I linked directly to the image. Deleting a tweet doesn't delete the images. If I'd known the tweet would disappear, I'd have posted them all.
Good job. :thumbsup:...I would bet money that's DK. Between the fact of it's location (surely isn't coincidental), the look of the track, and it being forced off the internet.
