I would LOVE it if Dinosaur were still open while they're working on the Encanto area. I'd really like to get one more ride, and I won't be back there till July.

It's one of my least favorite rides, but I still hope they keep it open for as long as possible. Disney construction is so slow and AK is short on attractions already. They don't need to be removing capacity until absolutely necessary. I mean, they don't need to be removing capacity at all, but that ship has sailed.

It is possible that commonly most people will just refer to it as the tropics in DAK, but I think for an official name, Tropical Americas is the best as it describes the region correctly and is in line with the rest of the park in terms of the name going along with different continents and the regions of the world.

Yep agree. Coco being in Central / Southern Mexico, Encanto in Colombia, and Indy in Peru (as in IJ4?) makes Tropical Americas accurate here

Didn’t Disney have an Amazon ride planned for a possible Brazil pavilion at Epcot at some point? While I’d hope that pavilion was still built (to give caiphirinas and South America representation in the park outside of Food & Wine), could work in this land eventually

the plan tossed around at one stage was to move the three caballeros ride to the Brazil pavilion, and coco into Mexico,,,when it was all being considered a few years back. None of it happening now of course.

It seems that Indy will be located near Yucatán; it could change, but so far everything points to that. I feel it is a disadvantage that the entire land is mainly focused on Mexico. I hope the theater will be repurposed for something else (be it animal exhibitions, Brazil? Or if Brazil is going to Epcot, something from Peru, Bolivia, or Ecuador). I think it could add more depth, and a show about the cosmovisions of Latin America could be a perfect closing touch for the land. I know the cultural aspect is intended only for Epcot, but I believe there are elements that feel closer to Animal Kingdom. The way the pavilions are presented, some of this cultural connection gets lost. There are cultures that still maintain a very close connection to the "animal world," if we can call it that.

I really like the originality of Dinosaur, I'm about to ride Indy in Disneyland for the first time soon. I've been on Indy in Tokyo, so I guess it might be similar to that one. Countdown to Extinction is such a cool theme and it still fits in South America since there's fossils there.
