I think they weren’t initially planning on replacing the track, as they didn’t even start that until after it was supposed to have been reopened under the original timeline.I wonder what snags they've hit that have forced this project to be protracted like this.
So someone has pulled the sword, and has become a new King (or Queen) of England..
It's just being refurbished. It'll be back soon. They already re-did the stone, next is the sword/mechanism is all.Well, there goes another piece of my childhood. Le sigh...

Apparently this work was to fix severe Irma damage.Heck, it's been so long I forgot they had that carousel there.
Adventureland could really use a modern E-ticket.
JttCotE, while nice, just isn't realistic as you alude, and anything Indy seems like it'll be a DHS thing. So what's Disney's next biggest non-Pirates IP that would fit Adventureland (at least in theme)? Moana. I sort of feel like it might feel slightly out of place in the land, but give the IP a legit E-ticket and no one cares.We're never going to get it, but a version of Journey to the Center of the Earth would be an incredible addition to Adventureland.
:look: ... Jim HillWasn't there some chatter last year about the old Fire Mountain concept possibly being dusted off and retrofitted for Moana?
Yeah, because I don’t think it should be at the top of the priority list. There’s already an attraction sitting empty in the land, and nearly every operating ride in the area needs work (whether maintenance or updating).You'd rather them update a go-kart track in the Magic Kingdom instead of tearing it out and putting in something much more worthy? Yea, no.

If I had $300 million to fix up Space Mountain, Carousel of Progress, add a small scene to the PeopleMover, and update the Speedway versus a new ride for $300 million on the Speedway plot, I would absolutely take the first option.
Here is where I strongly disagree. You say tearing out the Tommowland Speedway should not be at the top of the priority list, but you'd rather them update/fix the Speedway, the Carousel of Progress and the People-Mover? I can't make any logical sense of that...I've stated multiple times there is no place in the Magic Kingdom for a go-kart track and I will say that till I'm blue in the face. Carousel of Progress is so outdated it's comical; the only time I have even gone on it is to enjoy the air conditioned seating. They should be tearing it out instead of spending any more money on it. The People-Mover is fine the way it is, there's no reason or point to add another "scene" to it.
It's my opinion that since they needed to close the Speedway and alter the track to make room for Tron, it would've been the best time to re-purpose the whole area and give it a fresh futuristic look. Now they're going to have a new coaster going over old sputtering go-karts...
