Rumor Is Indiana Jones Planning an Adventure to Disney's Animal Kingdom?

Sign me up!

Maybe Disney can add Bedrock to its growing list of IPs!

This is the only thing you've ever said that I have had a problem with. Literally, sure, you're right, it's impossible to make it an exact clone. But to turn Dinosaur into an Indy attraction incredibly similar to Tokyo's? It's absolutely 100% possible and not as costly as one might think. To try and just throw that in there to make it seem like it can't be done is just irresponsible.

I'll double check, but if I recall, even while the layout would have it walled off anyway, the chasm open space portion of the ride was never built, with straight down structural supports under what would be the bridge. While it may not be 100% impossible, it is definitely cost prohibitive and would be a certified PitA. Also, assuming no structural beams were where I thought they were, it would still be a lot of removing AAs, tearing down walls, and building rockwork.

Aren't there elevation changes as well? I would think that they'd be better off salvaging the track and basically gutting everything else if they were to do it.

Point is, they should consider fast tracking an Indy Land at DAK. IMO.

They did. They scrapped it.

 

[EricsBiscuit]

They did. They scrapped it.

How do they decide what attractions to build? I'm sure it's a bit more than just "what IP can we throw in?"

Confirmation that recent rumors were true and Indy plans recently were scrapped? Or were these recent rumors a regurgitation of old scrapped plans?

Plans for an Indy area in DHS.

Plans for an Indy area in DHS.

If they're having trouble finding a home for Indy, how about Tomorrowland!?

You can have:

• a Crystal Skull Encounter replacement for Stitch
• an Indiana Trap Floor show across from it
• a Carousel of Progressive Democracies Defeating Fascism
• a cycle (Harley-Davidson Softail Springer Classic) coaster
  
• and a Mine Train Mountain
• the people mover can be rethemed as train cars upon which you ride on top hanging on for dear life

Thanks - that means jt04's DAK wish still stands unsubstantiated, but unscrapped.

I don't think there was ever anything to scrap there. But my ears are open.

It sounds like, if there's anything to the Indy rumor, it's almost as if someone at WDI or an exec threw it out there as an idea and it was run with. But who knows? It really wouldn't surprise me if they did this.

So Indy doesn't stand a chance of coming to DHA? Is the stunt show going to be around forever and ever? LOL

Anyway we could see these plans become a reality in the future after Galaxy's Edge opens?

I'd be very very surprised. But what do I know.

I like the way you think.

There's no need for any drastic digging or prohibited expense. If this much can be accomplished with chalk, imagineers should be able to create a 'chasm' with some special effects!

Except that only works at one angle and you go around the chasm from multiple ones on IJA.

Hmmmm.

I can just hear it now, "That phony looking canyon just 'ruined' the whole ride for me!"

Usually lots. Marie
