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

    I’d be curious as to why it would be “trickier”. That said, I’m firmly of the belief that it would be unnecessary. There’s plenty of room north of the RoA if they want. Sure, there might be significant work needed to made it usable but that’s better than shutting down the River and the train...

    “Something major” coming to DHS???

    I still think Shanghai POTC would be a perfect fit and bring that tech to the USA. High capacity, no height restriction and fits well in the "movie park". Then remove the Jack Sparrow stuff from the regular POTC to help differentiate the two rides.

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

    Sure. I guess my issue/thought/concern about that is that they are more likely to build the Encanto attraction in the same timeframe as a whole Dinoland redo where as if they built (say) a Lion King ride in Africa, they could expedite that to get open and add that capacity as quickly as...

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

    I actually think DHS has the bigger need than DAK, but those are definitely the two parks that need new stuff the most. Issue is that both need additional capacity, not replacement.

    “Something major” coming to DHS???

    Ironically, as much as I enjoyed classic Epcot, I'd argue that it is the poster child for over-reliance on the same ride mechanism and similar experiences. Individually, the old Epcot rides were great but collectively there was definitely a sameness about them. If that style didn't appeal to a...

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

    I will presumptively say this... replacing Dinoland USA with "Tropical Americas" is not what the park needs. Yes, adding a ride to replace PW's footprint is good. But DAK really needs additions not replacements. They should build an entirely new land or add rides to multiple existing lands...

    “Something major” coming to DHS???

    I haven't ridden and I've avoided any ride through videos so I have no idea. Just kind of going off of what others have said about the Zootopia ride.

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

    The concept art seemed to suggest a carousel replacing the TS spinner (why not have two flat rides; the park could use it). Having an animal carousel where you are riding animal friends of Antonio from Encanto makes sense.

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

    Definitely this. They should be building Encanto first and quickly and ideally would finish that and open it before taking anything else off line. The park really can't handle losing all of Dinoland USA at once. It would also be ideal if they could add another ride elsewhere first - like some...

    “Something major” coming to DHS???

    In this case, I think the argument/concern if that it might feel too similar to MMRR in terms of an experience. I think if (say) they were adding Pooh or BatB from Tokyo, they would be different enough from the other trackless rides at DHS to seem more unique.

    News Disney plans to accelerate Parks investment to $60 billion over 10 years

    @MerlinTheGoat specifically said later that s/he had heard about a big project for DHS.

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

    Given the respective size of these offices (and how Pandora was a pretty big expansion and new and this is largely repurposing existing land), is it possible more than just Dinoland redo is coming? Well, I guess the Zootopia movie, but that's not that big of a project.

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

    Do you have any idea if the third flat ride will be themed to Coco as some have suggested? Seems like an odd use to me, but I wonder

    “Something major” coming to DHS???

    As an aside about any DHS expansion... is it possible that some additions to Galaxy's Edge could be considered? Like adding a third attraction (we know there is expansion space allocated) or the table service restaurant?

    “Something major” coming to DHS???

    The other problem with Zootopia - assuming it would be a copy of the SDL land - is that it is only one ride. DHS desperately needs a number of smaller additions more than it needs any headliners (if one consider the Zootopia ride one). That's why off the cuff I'd prefer a full blown Cars Land...

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

    it's confusing the different things we are hearing. It wasn't all that long ago that the hot rumor was that DAK was now lower on the list and MK and DHS were going to get attention first.

    “Something major” coming to DHS???

    If they tore down the entire Animation building (not only the guest facing part they use for Launch Bay but the offices as well) and the other backstage stuff in the area like the parking deck, they would be able to fit Cars Land in - with some modifications. One thing is they would probably...

    “Something major” coming to DHS???

    I don't think there's any particular reason to think that just because Zootopia is going into the ToL theater that it couldn't also go into another park. Plenty of examples (BatB, Little Mermaid, Frozen etc.) of them using the same IP in different parks. Actually, there was someone who...

    “Something major” coming to DHS???

    How is Test Track a "problem"? Different park, completely different ride and experience. No reason they couldn't have RSR in WDW in DHS.

    “Something major” coming to DHS???

    There's been talk about Cars Land possibly going to DHS.... Also, I'd note that @MerlinTheGoat post didn't explicitly say "not MK or DAK" - it indicated not one of the rumored projects that we know about - seemingly meaning Tropical Americas (DAK) or Beyond Thunder Mountain (MK). It could be...
