Saw on Twitter that the smokestacks are... smoking.
Gee, get a clockwork sign on this place and it has so much energy it could launch the Hulk cars

Or you can just get the official Toothsome sign out, as that looks like it can have some great potential kinetic energy.
Now we just have to wait for the golden tickets...wait wrong factory.
"Looks like toxic pollution and industrial waste."

I can't believe this place is going to open before the Coca-Cola Oasis.
It all seems to go so much faster when you're not working with an outside IP. Just ask Disney about Avatar.
When the announcement was made absolutely nothing had been designed yet.It all seems to go so much faster when you're not working with an outside IP. Just ask Disney about Avatar.
Let's also ask Universal about Nintendo*... :bolt:
*It'll be a bit of a shorter timeline overall but still pretty long from the initial announcement and very comparable.
Avatar - 6 years (2011/2017)
Nintendo - 5 years (2015/2020?)
I just picked an example. The example still stands. It takes longer to work with an outside IP.
In Universal's defense they never announced this project. It was Nintendo that unilaterally made the announcement. In contrast, Disney made a big point of loudly announcing their project. If you make a big announcement you naturally raise expectations.
If this restaurant has a Willy Wonka theme it would be taking a lot longer.
And much of the 5 years it will be modified and homogenized like crazy as long as it doesn't abuse the vendor contracts. There is an industry term for seriously changing plans on vendors and the penalty, but I cannot recall what it is. It isn't obvious even when you hear it.
