One message was that the expansion of Shanghai Disneyland would be a class-A outdoor high-speed roller coaster with two launches and a variety of track elements. The other message was that the Zootopia ride in Shanghai Disneyland would be a FRV ride (which used to be used in MMRR)

Is one of these about bids for a new coaster and the other about the new darkride? (I can't read Chinese)

Request for bids for the Dark Ride in Zootopia

Shanghai Disneyland is looking for a ride manufacturer for a double launch/switch break coaster.

Jake here! Thanks so much, you can see the two structures in the foreground are really coming up reminiscent of the first concept artwork that was released for this expansion. Exciting!

Another excellent video from Jake's Journeys which at about 15 minutes in shows the construction progress of Zootopia from Seven Dwarfs Mine Train:

Today, on International Yoga Day, Yax, the laid-back yogi who unknowingly gave Judy information to help her solve the case, arrived at our Zootopia-themed construction wall near Fantasyland!

If you watched the video in the first link on the prior post, you may have seen a quick peek of a Yax animatronic being worked on.

During a media event Shanghai Disneyland officially announced that the Zootopia area will open in 2023. A new photo has been released showing a tree being planted in the area and the polar bear animatronic was revealed:
