DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

[Bocabear]

I think the new trailers are nice looking...but they should be segregated as their own community within Fort Wilderness... their own pool and amenities, their own bus stop... As it is, they seem far from everything and again, don't match the rest of that resort. But they look kind of nice considering what they are replacing. They need to do at least some of them without bunk beds for families without small children though.

This is how they did a river at Camp Minnie Mickey: They'll probably do something similar for Tropical Americas river

I loved that bubbling stream.

After watching UP last night -- seems like such a missed opportunity not making a ride in this probable new section of AK.

Incredible -- it is simply incredible. Do they not look at this internally and all agree, "okay, lets get a move on?"
I don't get it.

Does work have to be happening in the exact location you want in order for you to get it? They’re currently securing permits for and beginning work on the backstage infrastructure to ultimately support work in this area.

The point they’re making is that Disney is dragging its feet getting this project done. There’s no rule insisting that Disney must announce a project before they start construction.

Primevil Whirl closed 4 years ago. In what universe is it okay to be looking at a concrete blacktop, still after 4 years? Even when/if they announce the next project next month, it won't be done for another 2 years+? Looking at 6 years to replace a section!! THAT'S ABSURD!

What about the process at the moment suggests Disney is, at present, dragging its feet on this project? There’s a difference between complaining that they shuttered PW without firm plans in place and complaining that there’s still nothing happening when, in fact, something is happening.

I guess the bigger problem is that in a park needing attractions they shuttered one with no idea or thought of a replacement....in a temporary placeholder land... I am glad something is happening.

That's the thing. They should have never closed PW unless they were replacing it imminently.

Except theh had to close ot for safety reasons, right? They couldn't get the parts to fix the attraction, so closed it officially during covid

The parts issue was lazy speculation from people who didn’t spend half a minute to confirm that Reverchon is actually still in business.

 

[Fox&Hound]

AK needs more air conditioning! Give me people eater rides with that and I will be happy.

 

[MJL92]

Don't underestimate the staffing shortages when it comes to a lot of the decisions that have been made recently. If you can't staff your current capacity how are you supposed to create more? I cannot believe that 13,000 people are going to magically appear in Orlando and want to work in theme park ops next summer. Those people are going to come from somewhere else.

It would be neat if they reused some old props from the Great Movie Ride for the Indiana Jones ride

Yeah, I always thought that the Indy scene felt like our east coast slice of IJA, so reusing elements of that scene in a full fledged IJA would be a cool way to come full circle

so if Indy invades Animal Kingdom, that means the stunt show’s days are numbered, right? right?! (I’m against the same IP being in two different parks of the same resort)

Seeing as we have Toy Story, Little Mermaid, Frozen, and BatB attractions in Studios despite their presence in other parks…

I doubt it.
