    News 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    I understand that Dinosaur is leaving because of a combination of low GSATs, significant detractors, poor merch sales, and high maintenance costs but I don't think Disney believes Dinosaurs as a narrative element are cursed or something for any future attractions. They could make an amazing...

    News 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    I think it's quite silly to say that because Uni has good dinosaur attractions up the road that Disney shouldn't attempt to do anything with dinosaurs ever again. I know realistically it's a bit of a long shot they ever do something like Dinosaur/CTX again but it's not that they're avoiding...

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    Potentially the best video game to ride adaptation idea has yet to be touched but I'm so ready for whenever it happens.

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    I used a lot of words to share my opinion. :) It's not unanimously unliked, I like it! If you don't that's fine, but it's hard to take someone seriously when their criticism of a work is "this is bad so it must have been made by some no-name intern."

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    Maybe time for a bit of a hot take, but I actually like the Tiana's Foods logo design when viewed through the lens of roaring 20's New Orleans. The logo is very reminiscent of company logos of the era with flat colors and bold lettering while still featuring recognizable iconography, all wrapped...

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    I noticed this in the video too but couldn't quite make out Radiator Springs from it exactly. The Cadillac Range has a very distinct silhouette. Could the bridge like structure be one of the marigold petal bridges from Coco?

    News 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    I absolutely agree with all of this. If the Dinorama plot had been replaced with a well themed addition to Dinoland's theme (like the Excavator coaster) then people would likely appreciate the details in the rest of Dinoland's offerings more. The carnival half really drags down what is otherwise...

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    :banghead: I stand corrected. That is totally the club scene in Zootopia and the backflipping character is actually Bellwether. Tin-foil hat removed.

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    Alright please forgive me, but the tin-foil hat is on. In the recent video from WDI about the Tiana's Bayou Adventure animatronics, there are a number of b-roll shots throughout the video containing aspects from a variety of different projects. Most of these include projects we've already seen...

    “Something major” coming to DHS???

    Do you think we could hear about this at D23? Maybe not a huge reveal but at least a nod?

    I also love Na'vi, I just don't love waiting more than 30 minutes for it. Hopefully new stuff on the other side of the park will drive it down a bit.

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    I get where you're coming from with this take; a villain without a hero or anti-hero as their foil does not make for a particularly compelling linear narrative, especially if said villain is not meant to grow or develop into a hero throughout the course of their story. But theme park attractions...

    Rumor Stitch's Great Escape Replacement— Don’t Hold Your Breath

    I feel like there's a degree of truth to this. Not necessarily true that they don't want to close Cosmic Rays because it makes too much money, but rather because there aren't enough large QSR locations in the park to offset its capacity. Rays serves so many guests its not even funny, often...

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    Disney has been really pushing new ride envelope safety measures to operations cast as of late. Anything that could be in the ride envelope (or fall into it from above) has been severely scaled back across the parks. I'm assuming this extends to Imagineering so they don't build sets/effects...

    News 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    This has been repeated ad nauseum, but since you still deny it I'll keep throwing it at the wall for you. Joe Rohde (the lead designer of Disney's Animal Kingdom since its inception) has explicitly stated the themes of the park are as follows, "the intrinsic value of nature, psychological...

    News 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    Antonio doesn't have to be the star to be an operative part of the narrative. The narrative could revolve around Antonio's animal friends getting lost or hurt, while the family (all acting as stars, maybe with Mirabel in the lead) must band together and use their powers to save them while...

    “Something major” coming to DHS???

    Dumbo spinners are not "people eaters" though. Flat rides only round out park capacity if you have a large quantity of them spread evenly around the park.

    News 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    Said war in the film is being fought over the defense of natural resources and the destruction of ecosystems. It is a cautionary tale of how greed and disregard for the power of nature can ultimately be one's downfall. This is made abundantly clear in the film, the land, and the attractions built.

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens 2025

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe in the old system, ticket classifications could also be changed and updated based on guest demand or lack thereof, no? The system did indeed seem somewhat arbitrary if the classification could change on something entirely separate from the merit of the...
