It started long before Space 220. Almost every attraction for the past decade or more has operated on a soon timeline. Vague seasonal opening dates and then the Disney seasons take over (like when they say Winter 2009 for opening and something doesn’t open until March or April 2010). The Disney soon has been with us for a long time, it’s just more exaggerated now with so much still on the waiting list.
I think some of it has to do with how early in the process Disney announces things ... so if something takes 10 years, then 6-12 months is sort of "soon"
Meanwhile Universal just admitted they are building a Jurassic Park coaster and that thing is actually going to open "soon"
