Happy for Monstropolis but the land needs more than a suspended coaster. Hopefully they have more planned than that because they really need more kid friendly rides.
Per Disney: A woodcarver has created a giant working carousel featuring his favorite animals from Disney stories.

seems like everything will be demolished and started from scratch except for Dinosaur...I don't see them just re-theming the existing merch and food and bev locations. also RIP Triceratop Spin.

That might be dumber than the other carousel backstory at Walt Disney World.

Ah yes, Animal Kingdom, celebrating people’s sacred relationship with the animal world.
Nothing embodies that spirit more than the timeless stories of Encanto and Indiana Jones.

Still don't understand why they wouldn't use the ride mechanics for TS somewhere else. Such a waste especially when the park needs more rides.

So it certainly sounds like they took great care to ensuring that the IJ and Encanto attractions with harmonize with DAK. I know that it won't satisfy the doubters but they made the effort to point out the aspects of the rides that fit with the park.
Encanto taking place largely in Antonio's room always seemed like a no brainer.

Or move it to DHS.

I'd certainly be fine with that too. And honestly if they were thinking about doing so, it would be such a minor thing that they wouldn't announce it at a situation like this. That would be more of a blog level report so who knows, maybe we'll see it happen...

It would be a great add to TSL.
I just don't think there's anywhere they can actually put it there since they did such a poor job with space utilization when they built it.

Still wish they would give Triceratops spin a reskin and move it elsewhere in the park. I'd love for them to announce that next year at Destination D, but I won't hold my breath lol.
What they showed tonight looks very promising for the land's quality. Fidelity to the park's ideals is still TBD.

Someone showed you could fit it kind of between Slinky and the BBQ restaurant next to just east of the guest path. Would be tight but seems possible if they really wanted.

Toy story Land would fit perfectly being a top spin toy and the Triceratops look like Trixie..

It seems weird to go back to an old post I made and hoping it is what I think it is..As they mentioned in the new Indy ride There’s a mysterious creature in the temple and Indy hates snakes. What could be more menacing than Quetzalcoatl " The Feathered Serpent"
And I had thought of that well before hand..

The Future of Dinosaur - You Decide...
There's one at DisneySea, the sentence can be read two ways. The meaning was we don't need another Indy clone, this time at WDW. Fair enough. But it’s the same ride system anyway and they’re hardly likely to replace the ride system when they do re theme it.

Yeah, going the Everest/Yeti route of a mythical creature is the way to go for Indiana Jones.

TSL certainly makes sense, but I think there's a way to redress it for Pandora or Discovery Island as well. All three spots would be tight fits, but there's room.

I like these concepts but you know where else this land could’ve gone with virtually no changes and still work?
Beyond Big Thunder instead of Cars.
