Currently, the entire seating area at this popular quick-service spot is closed to guests as crews work on installing new concrete throughout the space.

While this area is temporarily unavailable, a temporary seating setup has been arranged at the entrance to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, offering tables with umbrellas to provide guests with an alternative during the closure.

More proof that its probably cost them more money going back and adding this expanded seating with shade than cutting it from the budget when building the original land.

Any timeline on when this is supposed to be done?

Those big holes feel like new footings for *fingers crossed* some new type of canopy structure? But we'll just have to wait and see

I thought this seating expansion was being worked on like a year ago..... Looks like we were posting about it in February of 2023.....And People think that Carsland and Tropical Americas are going to be opening in 2025? lol

Roundup Rodeo Barbeque is the sit-down restaurant and it's open. This is for Woody's Lunchbox, the land's quick service, which has way too few places to sit so they're adding some. Which is a good thing, but they announced it and put up the walls to start almost three years ago.

I guess I’m confused why they felt the need to rip everything up if all they’re going to do is install a canopy… they are installing a canopy, right??

I sadly thought this was done already. I should have known better.

I have not been following this at all. What is this construction all about? Wasn't the restaurant already opened?

Hopefully an umbrella or three is added as well!!! That area is so unbearably hot at times. Marie

When and if the other two rides get built it will be much better, but that won't excuse how bad Webslingers is or the general lack of shade which makes just standing outside for whatever reason brutal.

AC has at least one very good ride, albeit a reskin, in Guardians. Of course, it also has one of Disneys worst rides and generally wastes the biggest IP in film history. Still, I’d tend to agree with you.
