Overview
- Industry reports describe a reworked lineup featuring a family-friendly Emperor’s New Groove coaster, an indoor Maleficent water dark ride, a Hades dinner-show restaurant, and a likely Ursula-themed spinner.
- A newly filed Florida Department of Environmental Protection plan shows a significantly enlarged main interior building compared with January’s filing, aligning with a scaled-up concept.
- Sources say the original darker, thrill-led approach has been replaced by a broader family strategy modeled on Isle of Berk’s appeal at Universal’s Epic Universe to drive higher per‑capita spending.
- Updated plans are reportedly due soon for presentation to Josh D’Amaro before going to Disney’s board, and Disney has not officially confirmed any attraction specifics.
- Reporting indicates the rethink could slip the schedule by about a year, with some outlets expecting details to be showcased at D23 later this year, though timing remains unconfirmed.
