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

[SomePixieDust]

It is sad we were only expected a thin facade over the Dino institute.



That being said. Since it is a retheme of existing everything. Shouldn't the theming be the one thing that impresses the most?

This seems like the same company and process we went through with Tiana and EPCOT.

I’m going to be honest, I don’t really think you have a source. You’re just basing things off concept art and comparing them to blue sky that obviously look different while also being quite incredibly vague in what will differ.

Enjoy it by all means. But realistically. Expect the status quo of where the company is at. Hopefully the staging and such is just a fun time. But I think people need to keep expectations a bit in check.

Thanks for the heads up. It could still be a great ride - I like Mission Breakout, and that was a retheme. But now I won't be expecting 30 years worth of creative improvements like I was for, say, Paris' Pirates & Mansion in '92.

(Oh my goodness! The time between Paris Pirates opening and the original DL Pirates opening is LESS than the time between DL Indy and DAK Indy!!!)

Yeah. Wild isn't it? Something else wild is that Winnie The Pooh has is next year going to surpass how long Mr. Toad was there.

Well I don't have a lot of details and I am not pretending to. I am not saying anything I don't know. But what I do know I stated in terms of scenic differences and how DL's and and TDS' will differ with their grand open scenes and temple interactions. It is not going to be that 1:1 in all those ways people are hoping.

It is ok. I don't take it personally.

I am glad you are honest.

If the brand isn’t worth paying to keep it on your streaming platform, is it worth the retheme?

Comcast/Universal doesn't have Marvel IP on Peacock, and yet have Marvel IP in their park.

Synergy is great, but it doesn't always happen because of historical selling off of licenses to different companies and then issues of mergers.

i guess it depends on what happened behind the scenes…. I’m assuming Disney didn’t want to continue paying the licensing.

Considering Paramount's straits, This is probably a good time for Disney to offer to buy the rights permanently...

Very true! I actually thought they already had.

Me too, turns out we were right. It is a part of Lucasfilm. Distribution rights of the first four films themselves are still under Paramount.

So probably not worth Disney offering for that difference, and prob Paramount would rather hold on if the pay was not a lot.

Disney probably does not see a lot of home video or streaming value on it to pay much for just the older Indy movies

But you do kind of pretend too…
You are on here giving advice, and making statements like you are in the know. Apparently you know nothing.

I have seen some interior plans for the ride and I know the model has changed. It is not on the scale of Cali or Tokyo inside or out.

All I have shared and all I claim to know. It is not much but I wanted to share.

Your attack does not make me know of more. Nor does it make me know less.

I don’t think it’s a requirement that they gut to produce one main open chamber to have an impressive temple. It’s an impressive initial reveal but seeing other vehicles also removes some immersion and sense of peril.

Good point. And having that large open room would also make it feel like much more of a clone than it may actually be

That is fair as well. I just present what I have seen in more recent iterations. The scale is slightly less in many aspects when compared to the other two IJA's. Like I stated in an earlier post, I think that if there is less of that, you could potentially have a more intense feel through temple passages.

 

[britain]

So no giant open room then? That’s a shame, but understandable considering the structure. I hope it won’t feel like “all hallways all the time”.

 

[Bocabear]

The Giant open room is what gives the Temple it's big wow moment... otherwise it will just be a bunch of hallways....That overview of the area I think really adds a lot of visual excitement...and I love seeing the other jeeps...

Yes. It will all depend on execution and, critically, maintenance. That huge room in DL is impressive when all of the effects work.

Just seems sort of silly when yhe way people like to cope with losing CTX is it relied heavily on coordoors in the dark to get more darkened corridors then IJA. A critique that could hold true here.
Hopefully not more of the same. What I saw can't convey lighting grids or programming either.

Just to reiterate, the many changes this way are not a vomplete deal breaker for my taste. They do raise status quo concerns and Why I mentioned earlier, some will certainly be disappointed if they are expecting a 1.1 to the others or grander in scale.

 

[HauntedPirate]

The rumor I heard is that Indiana Jones is going to take the place of Dr. Seeker. The rest of the story and the ride itself will remain untouched, save for an Indiana Jones AA at the end.

It depends on how much they’re willing to spend on sets. Done correctly, you could have an awesome maze of passages.
