But Indiana Jones has been involved with Animal Kingdom since 1996
His mom took him there when he was a young boy

A removed attractions park would easily be my favorite park.

Because they are planning to remove an “animal” themed section in “animal” kingdom to put in some fantasyland stuff with greenery so they can both check off a box and call it themed to animal kingdom

You literally have no idea what the attraction will be about, and we're talking about a movie where one character has the power to commune with all the fauna of South America and another the power to control all the flora. Maybe wait until the ride doesn't cover those topics to complain.

It's why I haven't gone back. Those rides are what made WDW different. Now they all are about flashy with some thrill.

Forgot to add original CBJ to that last. As a Disneyland guy born in the early 80s I’ve never even seen the original show. It was always Vacation Hoedown.

and you also have no idea what the attraction will be about or what it will or won’t cover. Regardless, forcing Encanto into a park called animal kingdom while completely removing any dinosaur themed area of that park to me is backwards theming, like forcing Tiana in Frontierland

Now I agree!
Bring back the realistic attraction that featured time travel and smuggling a Dinosaur back to modern day in a jeep.
Enough of the fantasy stuff.

To be fair, todays fans don't care about any of that. They want their IP and flashy attractions

The point is that there is a completely straightforward way to tackle the environment and animals of the tropical Americas using Encanto as a vehicle. They won’t have to twist themselves in knots to do it; the answer is right there.
Now, I could understand apprehension about whether or not they’ll actually do that given how they biffed it with Cosmic Rewind, but acting baffled about why Encanto is there at all is a bit disingenuous.
Also, the land is being rethemed, so a Tiana comparison is not warranted.

I said fantasyland…like mermaid rides which might be what we get

As long as there aren't mermaids...Which I don't know why there would be given the IPs...
Then you're cool. Got it. Thanks for hopping on board.

Why? So far none of the new attractions have appealed to me at all. Tron and Guardians may be fun but they don't compete with Velocicoaster, Hagrids, Top Thrill 2 or Steel Vengeance.
These rumored additions coming to the parks don't fit the theme of the parks. Just more extension of Magic Kingdom

Velocicoaster, Hagrids, Top Thrill 2 or Steel Vengeance
Not flashy at all. Got it.
You just want non-flashy rollercoasters and not like the ones you've never ridden but know all about. Got it.
Just making sure I am following all the twists in this pretzel.

Surprised how many cheerleaders there are for Encanto. Bruno would be pleased (if I’m allowed to talk about him in here).

I could not care less about Encanto. I just don’t see why it’s difficult to acknowledge that a film that takes place in the tropical Americas with characters who control regional animals and plants might be a fairly straightforward add to a tropical Americas-themed area of Animal Kingdom.
