1) Dinosaur -> Indy isn't a net gain attraction wise, but certainly will be an upgraded experience and balance out crowds.

2) ITTBAB -> Zootopia with updated effects 4D show, same thing but I would argue even bigger upgraded experience and will get more crowds than the former.

3) Encanto attraction taking over for Primeval Whirl, same arguement but extreme upgrade. As a whole, the area will intrinsically be better and more even as a theme park. It will feel like a net gain attraction wise because the former had been closed for so long lol. Most certainly a meet n greet of sorts, of which a seemingly popular one?

I believe these are 3 great projects for AK to be an upgraded park, but it also is kind of stunning that they will essentially have the same attraction count haha! Good for the entire park to be much more 'even' though.

Your post hits on an important issue: while these are upgrades to what’s there, it …doesn’t give those who are in the park anything more to occupy their time after 1 or 2 pm. Even if this promised outlay is delivered, it is still a very underutilized park. There needs to be more to do, not just 1:1 replacements.

Though it’s clear the leadership doesn’t want to expand either capacity or footprint, so this is what we’re left with.

I think leadership does want to expand capacity now. But that's just me guessing because they have to prove it.

Right now Dinoland is under-utilized. Whirl is gone, so a replacement is added capacity. Dinosaur is very unpopular, so replacing it with something people want to do, increase draw and demand.

If you start inducing demand then you don’t actually address the capacity issue.

Well if you replace an attractions that can't maintain maximum capacity with one that can, you're increasing real capacity.

There’s not a single ride in DAK that’s not maintaining maximum capacity. Primeval Whirl was too before they just got rid of it without replacement.

its been watered down way too much..,,they took away all the little things that kind of made it fun like the falling bridge, the pieces of African music that use to play which was always nice, . Its just hurry you through and be done. And aside from a few main animals there really isn't a whole lot to see anymore, they didn't even have the crocodiles but one. I was like this feels like a shell of its former self,,,it needs something. Maybe it was just an off day last week with a driver who wanted to finish his shift, but its not at all like it use to be.

See you in 20 years when it’s deteriorated even further to the point where people are then using that as a defense of Disney’s decision to get rid of it for another franchise land.

I don’t know what Encanto attraction they’ve slotted in for DAK, but WDI has certainly been working on an Encanto e-ticket that I’m aware of. Doesn’t mean this can’t be reduced to teacups in a magical house, though. Let’s hope not.

I did hear a suggestion that the Coco flat could actually be a new flat ride, not just Dumbo again.

I think you may have just been unlucky -- last time I was there our ride was roughly 20 minutes long. Admittedly that was over 3 years ago, though.
