Here we go!

I saw comment saying it’s been that way for a while now.

Does anybody who visited AK recently noticed any changes to this attraction?
Not seeing much a difference. You could always see the green show building through the tree/shrubs if you look hard enough.

TLDR: nothing changed with the trees.

I doubt we will see live snakes. That seems too off putting for many.

We have the bats in Maharaja with a separate area so those without fear can check them out. Snakes could always be handled the same way if that is a concern.

Grief is it that bad now ?

Sounds like he made it to acceptance.
Or is still stuck at denial.

I was just thinking when I was there the other day, the exact opposite...It feels like a mess of dragging construction and showcase pavilions that need work...as do Imagination and the completely shuttered Wonders Of Life pavilion... Aside from a nice but poderouse garden area in the central core, there is nothing about the current EPCOT that I think is a plus right now... Glad that RAT opened...and Guardians is about the best coaster ride in any Disney park...certainly blows TRON out of the water.
It is a plus for still always being unique.

If you look at DCA, it's it's own but nothing that's totally unique like Spaceship Earth. Radiator Spring's Racers and Cars Land seems to be the only thing and that's it.

I assumed any Indy animals would be in the queue since it's an indoors ride. You could have an alcove off the line or something. I still say fake snakes in the rock work, etc, makes more sense.

Whoops. I completely misread that comment about the LEDs thinking it was describing the paltry makeup of the hub update, not the percentage of fixtures that still function.

Not to get off topic once again but sadly the Epcot re do never included refurbishments to the existing pavilions so to say it’s in worst shape is a little far fetched.

They do need to give them more love though that I definitely agree with it especially Imagination.

As much as I love Dinosaur, is anyone here actually excited for the Indiana Jones attraction? I won’t lie even if it ends up being a clone of IJ Adventure at Disneyland I’d be stoked, but I’m a little weary they wouldn’t “be able to afford” some of those effects.

I’d hate for it to end up being a screen ride utilizing the same layout of IJA and Dinosaur with a single A1000 of Indy at the end. That’s gotta be the worst case scenario for me.

I get all the chat about Encanto and Coco, but I’m not concerned about either especially since AK could use a dark ride on the level of Mystic Manor (what I presume Encanto will be like). Indy is the one they need to knock out of the park here.

I’m excited. IJA is better than Dino. And I can easily go to Universal for a more enjoyable dinosaur experience.

I'm actually really excited for Tropical Americas and Indy+Encanto(+Coco?). If the rumors are true Indy is going to have a Mayan theme with animals involved, and that sounds really interesting and would add some freshness to the IP, and (with the exception of Cosmic) Encanto is the first attraction to not be cloned or cloning in a long time. I honestly view and think of this land as a mini successor to Fantasy Springs when it comes to theming, multiple IP's plus original stuff, and improves the park overall. I think the thing really hurting it is that they still after months have yet to confirm it and is the second blue sky plan making people hold back any excitement. Even I won't believe anything until I steel go up.
