Cast Member previews for Journey of Water Inspired by Moana are set to begin this month at EPCOT.wdwnt.com
It really all boils down to one core thing, it's a splash pad. The timeframe for it to be made and the sheer fact it feels like they're dragging their feet on opening it just makes it all the sadder.This is sad.
They're dragging their feet on this because it's essentially been ready for much of the year but they don't want it open until September/October. They've basically just been holding it because they don't want to open it yet. They want to wait until the gardens/hub area is done and Communicore Plaza.It really all boils down to one core thing, it's a splash pad.

I hate it, but if you think they aren't going to try to package all of this together (along with the new fireworks) as if they just opened the best ride in the world then you haven't been paying attention to Disney's advertising strategies.
I didn't even think about how the Figment M&G still hasn't shown up. You're probably 100% on the money with that.Yup - and they'll get away with it. They have a stellar marketing team.
They'll also probably do some fan service by creating a nostalgia line of merchandise with previous attractions to shut the fans up.
Also, they'll probably have Figment M&G debut around the same time to keep the fans from complaining so much.

It doesn't help the slog feeling when a massive chunk of the front half of the park has been behind construction walls for years now. That's one of my biggest gripes with the slow timelines they churn out.I have grown so immensely tired of Disney's "yearly" opening schedule. Because yeah, on paper we've gotten a solid attraction or upgrade every year since 2017, but when most of these projects could've been complete and open to the public pre-pandemic imo with the right care and attention, it's become less of a "I can't wait for next year!" and more of a agonizing dripfeed slog.
I hear your general point, but I would not contend that Universal has only been putting forth "their best."I know it's a Universal forum so I've got a bias, but keeping tabs on USF construction doesn't feel like this to me. That resort has also gotten a major new attraction every year, and yet they seem to constantly be striving forward, throwing their best out there.

Supercharged and Race Through New York are nobody's "best."
First of all, Kong is just fine! Beyond that, I vehemently disagree that the weaknesses at the parks are excusable simply because Universal has been very active. The condition of JP River Adventure, for example, is completely unacceptable and insulting under any circumstances. But I'll leave this argument there!Supercharged is an outlier and Fallon is fine. I would argue that the combined force of Volcano Bay, Hagrids, Velocicoaster, Bourne, and the brand new theme park more than make up for the Kong's, forgotten JP animatronics, and Supercharged's we've gotten.
It hasn’t actually been 5 years. However, it’s not off by much. Construction started September 2019. So we’re coming up on 4 years.5 years
This better be the best walk through attraction EVER.....lol
I know it won't but insane that in it's going to take a similar time time to build Epic Universe as this attraction
Still insane Epic will be down a yeaish more then one.....walkthrough attraction.It hasn’t actually been 5 years. However, it’s not off by much. Construction started September 2019. So we’re coming up on 4 years.
Yeah, it is insane. COVID did play a big part in stopping construction and then it was one of the last projects to restart construction. But still. It’s a walkthrough.Still insane Epic will be down a yeaish more then one.....walkthrough attraction.
What sucks, is I think its going to be a fun cool little feature but the time they took seems to made all fans just dislike the project
