5. Iron Gwazi

Park: Busch Gardens Tampa

Original Opening Date:  Spring 2020

Status: Delayed until park reopening

Though Ice Breaker over at SeaWorld Orlando hasn't been able to test at all, over at Busch Gardens Iron Gwazi was actually testing right up until the park closure, putting this ride in a much better position to have its grand opening when the park reopens. Like other brand new attractions on this list, some last minute re-testing may need to happen before the attraction officially opens, but we'd guess Iron Gwazi will make its grand entrance right alongside Busch Gardens Tampa's return to operation. 

6. LEGOLAND New York

Park: LEGOLAND New York

Original Opening Date:  July 4, 2020

Status: Delayed until summer 2021

Though we've seen delays announced for rides, restaurants, and full lands, LEGOLAND New York slated to open on the fourth of July this summer, it was announced this week that the brand new LEGOLAND New York resort, which includes a whole theme park and hotel, will be delaying its grand opening a full year, and will now welcome its first guests in the summer of 2021.

7. Fantasyland Expansion

Park: Tokyo Disneyland

Original Opening Date: April 15, 2020

Status: Delayed until park opening 

Earlier this year the Oriental Land Company revealed that the Fantasyland expansion at Tokyo Disneyland expansion which will include new rides like The Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast and The Happy Ride with Baymax as well as the Minnie’s Style Studio meet-and-greet would open on April 15th, 2020. However, with Tokyo Disney Resort now closed though at least mid-May, the opening of this land has been officially delayed. Like many other projects on this list construction on this new land was basically complete before Tokyo closed earlier this year, with ride testing happening behind the scenes. And though the Oriental Land Company has not said much other than that they are reevaluating a new opening date for this upcoming land, we'd guess it will likely be ready to premiere either alongside the park's reopening or just a few days after.
