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

[Streetway]

Leaning towards D-but one that borders on the edge of E from the new info I heard.

I was hoping they'd make it more intricate than what I've been hearing.

Is it at least in line with with animal kingdom, and not out of place (well, not more than it already is)

For Encanto-

Glasses or no glasses?

Oh no, it's going to be like Remy's where it's all screens with a couple of sets isn't it?

 

[Starship824]

As long as it has some nice sets of the rooms, and some great AAs of the characters then I'd be okay with it. As long as it's not all screens, if there are a couple of places with screens or projections then that's fine IMO.

I haven't seen or heard anything that would indicate 'glasses'.

This looks to be a very solid D-ticket attraction.

I hope so. the concept art doesn't indicate glasses but it also doesn't indicate very much at all. Do you think it'll have any AAs?

I love Remy -- this type of attraction would be welcome in AK!

I actually do like Remy I just don't think that kind of ride works for Encanto. I think Encanto is a ride that needs lots of physical sets and AAs. It can have seems or projections but they have to be used well. It has to be used in a way that can't be done physically imo.

I could see a hybrid with built out sets, screenz for content and intro/outro AAs.

What's that new Peter Pan attraction like?

I think that could work really well, I'd just like to see some more AAs. I don't think that ride has any correct?

I don't think it does, no. maybe it'll be more like that Zootopia ride?

Out of everything announced for WDW - Encanto and the parade are the only things I genuinely want to experience.

I do think the carousel will be nice as well - fits the mood and the theme and is a good all-ages attraction.

I don’t think Indiana Jones is a natural addition to Encanto - so I’d just plus up dinosaur and the area and make it separate if it was me.

I also don't think losing the Boneyard for the kids is plus when you can keep it than just make an entrance to the Land like any other.

I would certainly welcome a D on the level of Remy or Frozen. Something on the scale of Mermaid would be disappointing to me.

Well that's a relief! My source said screen-heavy and proposed the glasses question, haha.

My main worry was screeeeenssss, I think a ride based on this IP would heavily benefit from well built sets.

If this turns out to be screen heavy could this be similar to the new Peter Pan in Fantasy Springs? I would always prefer real sets and animatronics, but i didn't terrible hate watching the ride POV. I think since that land got a long heavy AA Frozen, then kinda short but still nice AA Tangled, that the trade off was Pan would be screen heavy.

I'm sure there'll be screens too. I just don't think it's going to be like (say) Fast & Furious over at Universal.

Na'Vi River Journey has both screens and large rooms with physical decor. Set aside that Na'Vi is a boat ride, the idea is kinda what I'm picturing for Encanto.

You know, I haven't seen any info on AAs. Good question.

 

[Streetway]

well that’s good. Should be a good ride hopefully. The one I worry for is Indy. Especially with the way the Dino building doesn’t allow for the big cool room in the other versions of Indy. Can imagineering capture lightning in a bottle twice?

I do think we all have to accept that screens are here to stay, and will probably be in most new rides. Like a lot of people say, it’s all about use. Screens can be a very good side dish, but they often aren’t very good as the main course.

Exactly, they wouldn't. The way Disney do lands is there has to be at least 1 attraction, 1 restaurant and 1 shop. If they divided Dinoland into two mini-lands, they'd need to add a restaurant to where Dino-Rama is (where Encanto will go) or put Restaurantasaurus on the Encanto side and add one by Dinosaur. Also, Encanto is replacing all of Dino-Rama and the carousel is replacing the Boneyard, so there isn't physically enough space to have Encanto, Carousel, Boneyard, Dinosaur, 2 stores and 2 restaurants (not food stands) plus any potential animal exhibits

I mean you can fit ROTR, the MK carousel, Cosmic Rays, Auntie Gravities, Star Traders, and the shell of Stich's great escape into the land without touching the bone yard, Resturantasaurus, Dinosaur, the theater in the wild, or the boat launch area. Then this area would be as packed as a Disneyland land! (Blue outline would be the mini Dinoland)
