Recent developments indicate progress on Project Fedora, located near the exit of the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Two Notices of Commencement have been filed for a plot of land between the stunt show exit and Backlot Express, providing insight into upcoming changes.
Details of the Construction Notices
The filings are significant as they list Facilities Asset Management as the owner, rather than Walt Disney Imagineering. This distinction is critical; while Walt Disney Imagineering is typically involved with new attractions, Facilities Asset Management generally oversees maintenance and minor updates.
Contractors and Project Scope
- The notices identify two contractors engaged in the construction.
- They are working within a compact area of approximately 202 square feet.
This involvement suggests that Project Fedora is more than a routine maintenance job and supports plans for a new addition to the park.
What Could Project Fedora Bring?
Initially, the small footprint of the project sparked speculation about a snack or merchandise kiosk. However, recent discussions have introduced the idea of developing an Indiana Jones-themed play structure targeted at younger visitors. No official confirmation has been made regarding these possibilities.
Looking Ahead
As of now, there has been no announcement from Disney regarding Project Fedora. El-Balad will continue to monitor the situation for updates, permits, and any new filings that may provide further clarity on this exciting project.
