Instead, it's being rebuilt/refurbed. But I doubt to float again. Rumor is that it may be used as a major prop in the upcoming Epcot Flower and Garden show. Watch for it.

(When they partnered with Mattel for the Barbie Show) The new covered theater effectively hid the Golden Dream from the shoreline completely. They finally pulled it rather than refurb it.
