The Good Dinosaur and AK

[French Quarter]

Thinking about the preview of The Good Dinsosaur that will begin on October 16 in DHS got me thinking about how the latest film could tie in with Dinoland at AK. I haven't heard any rumours about this happening but I thought I would through that out there.

The movie opens on November 25 and I'm wondering if, at the very least, if they do a meet and greet with Arlo and Spot that they might house it in Dinoland. It seems like the most appropriate backdrop to me.

I would hope for something more ambitious but given all the construction already happening in AK, I am doubtful. Would love to hear anyone else's dreams for a tie-in though.

Better off for UoE.....

That is a very cool idea. Never thought of that. Do you think they'll do it? UoE could use an update to be sure.

I hate the idea of the Good Dinosaur in Epcot, but love the idea of having it at Animal Kingdom. I mean they could make a dark ride or maybe replace Nemo with a new puppet show similar to Walking with Dinosaurs.

Probably not...TDO Is more focused on other things. So don't get your hopes high.

The Good Dinosaur has literally nothing to do with Universe of Energy....that would make no sense. If anything, it will go to Animal Kingdom.

And Finding Nemo Had NOTHING To do with the Re-Imagining of The Living Seas and look at it now....

Unfortunately, despite my total resistance to characters in Epcot, Nemo has far more to do with the theme of The (Living) Seas than Good Dinosaur ever would with Universe of Energy. Finding Nemo actually has quite a lot to do with the pavilion. It shouldn't be there, but it is an relatively appropriate inclusion. Good Dinosaur is not a story about how energy was created. In fact, it takes place in a parallel universe in which dinosaurs didn't become extinct. So what Universe of Energy is trying to tell us, that dinos were responsible for fossil fuels, would become irrelevant. A ride themed to the movie will never find itself in Epcot.

All this suggestion and speculation is moot until the film becomes a success. And even then, we might not have anything permanent- look at Wreck-It Ralph or Big Hero 6.

>Movie about ocean life
>Living Seas is about ocean life

Disney's Animal Kingdom was about the wonders of our world and how we related to it. Maybe there is a reason a contemporary setting was always the focus.

I'd like to see something to The Good Dinosaur at Animal Kingdom.

I'm not going to get into the science of it all but whether or not the dinosaurs went extinct, we would still have fossil fuels.

You might recall that UoE has dinosaurs in it. Why could those dinosaurs not be from the movie?

I'm not saying that they will do this. But I'm not sure how you can say the two have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

Have you been on and paid attention to Universe of Energy? It isn't a "dinosaurs are cool" ride.

Yes, I have ridden many times. I didn't say it was a "dinosaurs are cool" ride.

No, not at all. Just because there are dinosaurs in UoE doesn't mean The Good Dinosaur would fit in with 'energy' in any way.

That's the only connection between long dead dinosaurs and fictional dinosaurs that lived not as long ago.

I Know it WON'T happen I just brought up the only other attraction that involved dino's because Dinosaur wouldn't even work for that Film or for Dinoland...

The only Dino's that would have worked for anything else...The Sinclairs..

Or Tangled? I'm sorry, but man that was a great movie, and deserves more than themed bathrooms! =(
