So with things progressing for Dinoland, anyone have thoughts on the rumored e ticket addition to AK potentially coming?
My original thought was Lion King since they’re also developing one for DLP and it’s an IP that fits and already has a presence in the park. But I know this has already been discussed a little bit

She does get redeemed in the end though.



And Wall-E would actually be a great fit, if it was implemented right. Say there was a mini-land that was set in the years after the movie in which plants are starting to grow again and humans are re-learning how to care for them.
WALL-E only belongs in EPCOT, and it is kind of a travesty they haven't done ANYHING with it.

Some have suggested it will use the Shanghai Pirates ride technology. Perhaps Lion King based...
I've been commenting recently about the Shanghai Pirates ride tech since it was all the buzz a few years back that multiple WDW parks were fighting over who would get it (theme tbd of course). It would be interesting if the tech was brought to DAK, though I personally don't see Lion King as a good fit for that ride system. Avatar The Way of Water on the other hand...that seems like a no brainer! Though I could also see the tech easily applied to something in DHS or MK (Moana for MK, not sure what for DHS) Anywho, I love the recent uptick in rumors and speculation. It's what I've always found most fun about this site, and many here have such great ideas too. Always fun to dream!

All those would work great too.

What's the rumor for Lion King in Paris? Hadn't heard anything about that but would love to see both the IP and that park get some love.

Latest rumor over in California is that a Shanghai Pirates ride technology will be the E-ticket attraction anchoring the new Avatar land in California Adventure. There has been much debate as to whether cloning that back to WDW or trying to bring a clone of Flight of Passage to California is a terrible mistake.

I don’t know much about the attraction itself but I know that they plan to bring Lion King to DLP.

I could see them bringing that to DCA, I don’t see them adding another “E-ticket” to Pandora though.

This should make those really skeptical feel a little better.
As a person who has said he doesn't have excitement because I've entered a "Prove it" phase with Disney, it doesn't. If Rhode had full control, maybe it would. But I'm not convinced they aren't going to fight him to pinch every penny they can, and that there won't be mandates about certain things must be in. Again, they need to prove to me this will work and integrate, I do not have a belief in Disney's ability to theme right now (and point to any examples you want, again, just my feelings right now).

I’m a skeptic as well but they have done many things (even in the past month or so) that are encouraging. My feeling is they are listening.

From one skeptic to another I think we should at least wait and see how this D23 shakes out. Who knows, they may be very close to moving dirt around.

Let me be clear, I'm not saying it's terrible yet, just that they don't have my faith that it's definitely going to fit and be great (truthfully, I'd lean the other ways, but again, I'm not going to say that is the case until I see things). Likewise, too many times I've seen cuts after announcements, so I'm not going to hype up for a big presentation on a new land either. Like I said, benefit is gone from me. There have been some things that were a positive, but a lot of bad things as well (including recent announcements). So even Rhode coming back to design it doesn't really make me feel better about it.

Flight of Passage isn't coming to DCA. Unless something major changes.
