Welp. Time to see if the main show building for Berk will fit on the Toon Amphitheater plot...
To be fair, in this situation "postponed indefinitely" could mean anything from "we don't know if we'll restart in one year or two" to "maybe we'll try again in ten years."“Postponed indefinitely,” is a polite cancellation.
True. But if that’s how they’re discussing it internally, it’s not a good sign. An indefinite postponement invites ideas, which invites meddling, and meddling causes delays.To be fair, in this situation "postponed indefinitely" could mean anything from "we don't know if we'll restart in one year or two" to "maybe we'll try again in ten years."
Something changed last night. Supposedly Comcast put their foot down and demanded that all work stop immediately and other actions be taken to save money. I believe that led to a lot of layoffs today, as well as the temporary ride closures.This "feels" different though from what was reported about the earnings call yesterday. Did something change in 24hrs? Or is this just a more accurate depiction of what was said on the call?
Right.... canceled would mean pack it in, sell the land, and just live with two parks forever (or until they buy the land back for the third time in 2033). My money has always been on more than a 1-2 year delay but not a complete walk-away from the plot. While the fan community is always focused on what‘s now and wow, the industry is a perpetual long play.I wouldn't say canceled, IMHO.
I poked around a bit for some info. Here are the rumors I was told. Remember these are rumors about on going discussions. They are not a plan yet.
EU, as we know it is dead. Pencil in the 3rd gate for a 2030 Grand Opening. Everything else cancelled except the 2 things below.
They finish up the Velocicoaster and a Diet JW placemaking around the land.
ALL available resources thrown at fast tracking SNW into KidZone so they can try and catch up to Hollywood so they can do a big national ad campaign for both coasts.
That's good to hear.This lines up with nothing I’ve heard.
