Really? That's later than I would've expected.

It's going to make Christmas 2019 very busy at Hollywood Studios.

I’m off on the 21/12/19, I’m praying I’ll hit a DVC preview.

You will be inside a small pod (cockpit) with 6/7 others and it is a simulator you can control. It also has a centrifuge like Mission Space that spins at v high speed, and simulates acceleration. The worry about it is potential low ride capacity based on some reports.

So if that's the case if it is on a centrifuge type system a la mission space then each pod will be on one arm, several arms per centrifuge could be your 42 people per centrifuge, all they'd need is several centrifuges to massively increase the passenger load and the ride buildings do seem massive so fingers crossed!

Just a rumour WDW Info are saying. I've seen a lot of ariel views from bioconstruct on Twitter and it looks a long way away from being ready.

Well, there's still at least a year to go before it'll open. I wouldn't expect it to look anywhere near ready at the moment.

As I mentioned on another thread, I'm guessing the rumour about it opening after 16th December 2019 comes from the fact that the last date you can select for tickets on Disney's revamped website is 16th December 2019. The thing is, I think they've forgotten that this is the start date - the tickets can last up to 14 days after that date. Plus anyone can add the flexible option to the ticket meaning that the start date can be any time between now and 31st December 2019 - so those tickets can last until 14th January 2020. Thus, Disney is actually currently selling tickets that cover up to the middle of January 2020 - which isn't "late Fall 2019".

We’re going in March next year and giving it a miss in 2020. Back in 2021.
