PI Update: Gloomy Island

The sky in this file photo is bright and cheerful but with thunderstorms brewing in the Orlando-area this afternoon, things were actually gloomy. But what better place to experience gloom than beautiful Pleasure Island. After all, we are approaching 2.75 years since the clubs closed!
Plenty of Brazilian tour groups passing through.
The custodial crew was busy kipping things spiffy.
But one custodial worker (not pictured above) told me that Soundstage and Adventurers Club were going to be demolished.  Since Custodial is likely the lowest rank within Disney's caste system, I take that information with a grain of salt.
This construction worker hanging out within the  grassy plain that once was RRBC & Motion gives you a good perspective of just how huge that area really is!
No construction taking place yet within the service area between Raglan Road and Portobello.
The Margarita Bar has a guitar singer. Music everywhere except where you'd expect it, such as club buildings!
Located in the former Virgin Mega Store, rumors had RidemakerZ closing May 31st however it remains in business with no sign of closing. The Princess Diana Museum is thankfully not returning either.
Finally, work progresses in the new location of Orlando Harley Davidson. Have a great weekend! And remember, no matter what the weather outside, it's always a beautiful day at Walt Disney World.

Frankly I agree it's been two and a half years, it has been too long for the clubs to be closed.
So don't you guys think it's about time to fix up 8Trax, Mannequines,Soundstage, and Comedy warehouse?
So the people can party.

P.S.
In the good words of HollyWood "Lights,Music,Dancing"!

In general, most front line Cast and Managers really do not know the true state of what's happening.

From the lack of progress, I really think no one really knows what to do with P.I.

...so, I agree, just bite the bullet and re-open some clubs, even if temporary. Make some money off the building, rather than just leaving it to sit and rot.

Let's say for a moment that the rumor I published recently is true; that 3rd party operators will get to reopen several of the closed venues as clubs. If true, formulating renovation plans to accomplish that will in itself take time. So the fact that nothing is going on right now does not conflict with that rumor.
