I’ll take a shot at it… 1. Launch Bay quietly closes one day because Disney doesn’t want to pay CMs to staff it anymore. The building sits empty until they finally announce an Animation Courtyard project at D23 in 2030 (2028 if we’re lucky) 2. Villains closes around 5 years after the MK land opens. It’s replaced by a lightly Muppet themed restaurant. 3. Frozen lasts another 20 years and, by the time Disney replaces it, people on this forum complain that they’re getting rid of a classic show.

Wait, Launch Bay is still open? Why????

Anyone want to take bets which will eventually close first? This, Launch Bay or Frozen Singalong? ;)

I think it’s similar to how they opened Star Wars Launch Bay to be a home for Star Wars while the full land was designed and built. A quicker and cheaper way to capitalize on the IP while your bigger, more expensive, more fully realized version isn’t ready yet.

They already have that data and if they don’t they’re certainly not going to be getting it from this show.

6 years 😭 So painful to hear that out loud even though I know that is what is realistic.

I think this show is a test to see which villains are the most popular. The ones who get the biggest reactions will probably be spotlighted more around the land or will be featured on more merch when the land opens.

They certainly could be testing out concepts for entertainment in a land opening in 6 years. That in no way prevents them from designing and building spaces to house that entertainment sooner. You can build a theater before you know what, specifically, will be in there. This concept is a bit satirical. Does that style work? We shall see.

Who was saying that again? I know Len and Steve keep hinting at a third thing to close, but that didn’t carry a timeframe from my awareness. Animal Kingdom still seems like the overall laggard to me.

They’re already paying for design work. You don’t do the “proof of concept” after you’ve started sinking a bunch of money into the project.

So the show will have a good 6 or 7 year run at least....

It’s absolutely this.

Cars area will go first, probably simultaneously with some groundwork for Villains. But Villains will be later. 2029 if we are optimistic, maybe 2030/2031.
