As far as I know, there was never a scenario in which this wasn't a 2021 attraction.

Well it seems that I'm 0-2 so I'm just going to quit before I strike out. Seemed sure that it was going to happen today. Guess I was wrong, wrong, wrongity wrong.
Third time's the charm.
We have a higher expectation for investigative reporting on this forum, and while speculation is fine it really needs to be prefaced as such.

Okay, enjoy everyone. I'm out. I don't care anymore. Just enjoy the ride... whatever it ends up being like, or when. Kind of tired of being a laughing stock here. Don't feel welcomed. But I digress... enjoy.
No worries. You made an appropriate "my bad". A lot of us that live in the area come across info that "doesn't pan out". I myself have been in a similar situation multiple times.
A lot of people are pointing out that it was a Holiday that would have involved overtime. Yeah. But they have been working 24/7 for a while including weekends. There are premiums on a lot of those shift times so doing a Holiday wouldn't have been out of the question.
I regarded your info as plausible leaning towards likely given where they are in track installation and the arrival of the new crane. It didn't work out. No big deal. And as others have said, these workers have been rocking like rock stars for about 3.5 months. So I am glad they had a chance to spend the Holiday with their families.
The sad part is after the top hat goes in, things slow way down. Track installation is fast and exciting. After it's done and we are in the theming phase, things get slow and we get exciting stuff like, "OMG, OMG, OMG! They are putting a planter beside the stairs in front of the Discovery Center!" Or, "Those amber Carriage Lanterns they are using by the water front are

I think there will still be plenty to see as so much of it is outside. The most boring project was probably Fallon as it was pretty much all internal.
Agreed. We watched the carving of Pandora and SWL like it was must-see TV.
I am anxiously awaiting @Teebin's fantastic flora analysis.
No news today? Guess everybody had a wonderful July 4th weekend and need a day of rest!!

I actually think they are going to put a dinosaur on top of the tophat.

Could you please just drive that nail a bit deeper into my heart? :topic:

Right now, the potential rock work in this is the most intriguing part.
I wonder if rock work of that scale will ultimately obscure Doctor Doom, which is currently quite visible from certain vantage points in that area. Fingers crossed.
Between the rock work and trees, you shouldn't be able to see Doom from the main path in JP.
