Maybe attendance numbers are so good that they're waiting until 2023?

Wonder if they will have old video's of Bob singing, since most people who visit are too young to remember him. Or better yet, an audio animatronic of Bob.
Recordings, maybe.... Curious if there's some kind of licensing agreement for that kind of thing from his estate or AB if it was considered IP of the park.
Nix the animatronic - there's no way they'd spend the ridiculous amount of money and effort to make it both look nice and perform the upkeep when it inevitably breaks down.

The candy cane stained glass hanging sign has been moved.
Assuming we're right and the front part of the store is the candy shop, that placement makes a ton more sense.
Also, related: @Jahrules mentioned the permit difficulty a few days ago, but it looks like that's getting much closer to being resolved now. Fingers crossed for an opening very soon!

Two people required per reservation. So that's $80-100 minimum.
It doesn't directly say, but since they are flights that are to be chosen ahead of time, I'm hopeful that this is included in that cost. Cautiously hopeful.
I'm with you. It's vague, but I have to imagine that's with drinks. I already think it seems way over priced.
I’d rather spend $50 on imported wine or Patron than spend it on three $17 spiked lemonades (if I’m spending that much on alcohol in a single purchase). Do you know if the Chrismastown wine flights are that expensive in comparison? It just feels like Seas is looking at this limited opening event as an opportunity to price gouge.
And I especially don’t understand their pricing logic. If it was the absurdly low summertime sales that incentivized me to visit the park at all, why do they assume I will all of sudden pay premium prices on luxury food and beverages. Broke is broke, and I’m broke.
I don’t think that’s their plan at all. They want you to pay premium prices on basic (even subpar) food and beverages (+ 5% surcharge)
I'm guessing it's not 3 full size drinks. That would be an okay deal. I think these will equal 1 to 1.5 drinks total.
So $40 per person and you have to make a advance reservation? So a family of 3 if the husband wants to try a drink there will have to shell out $120 by planning ahead of time to make a reservation? Also it says flight of 3 drinks and it only lists 3 drinks....and they look to be 3 frozen drinks which im guessing will be premixed. No price diffrence for moctails comapred to the alcoholic versins and if you only want one drink you still have to pay for 3? I just dont see this doing well at all.
This is correct. You will enter through a candy shop to the hidden speakeasy.
I'm told it's standard size drinks as they currently serve them in park and not sample size, but each drink is a different size based on what it is.
The drinks are included in the cost and there is a show included. This should be an immersive experience and from what I hear sounds like it will be really cool.
