Large Event & Storage Facility Planned South of Festhaus Park

The year is now 2024. Disney has purchased BGW and converted it into EPCOT 2.0: The Epcotening.
We've lost the entirety of Festa Italia, which isn't a real name of a country, but it's been replaced with a Mexico Pavilion. Roman Rapids is now Grand Fiesta Tour, Pantheon is now Donald Duck's Scary Trip to Brazil or something.
The event building has been repurposed as a Future World Pavilion, where Disney brings back Body Wars except it's about Coronavirus vaccines.
Platinum members still don't get preferred parking.

Making your park a year-round-park in a colder climate that any other year-round park in America right after permanently closing your only two indoor rides is an odd choice to say the least, so I believe that it's very plausible that the DarkKastle building will be used for something that they can use in January and February (ride... show... something else... whatever) and I'm totally on-board with the theory that that is a major motivating factor for them with this huge building.

To be fair they didn't have much of a choice with the Pandemic but to shut BFE. Also they were not planning for year round ops previously but saw an opportunity when they saw how well received the limited events were.
Oh I absolutely agree with all of that 100%. Going forward though, I expect them to beef up their weather-proof offerings.
Looks like the public hearing is scheduled for July 7th, 6pm.
The planner requested an approximate height of the structure and a submission of more details on the appearance and materials of the building.

Wydaily.com has picked this up, no new info in their article.
Google Earth gives me around 33,000 for the main section of Das Festhaus (read: ignoring the serving areas, beer room, kitchens, backstage, etc.
In other words, it's a HUGE building.

I was going to say, seems like a good comparative image was provided in a previous article: https://bgwfans.com/2021/proposed-event-building/
Maybe it’s to clear the storage from Festhaus park so they can build a new rollercoaster there.
possibly but based on some of what we have seen this year it wouldn't surprise me if going to year round operations has led to them deciding that they need more out of site maintenance space and as you said they would be losing Festhaus Park for that purpose.Maybe it’s to clear the storage from Festhaus park so they can build a new rollercoaster there.
