the lion king land in DAW looksl ike it will be all indoors. maybe something kinda like TLM land in Tokyo with a bunch of smaller rides and 1 large one

The Lion King land is entirely outdoors, with a single ride being an indoor flume with an outdoor drop

oh, i assumed it was more than one flume ride inside the massive show building for DAW....well thats kinda a letdown imo. the artwork shows a sparce and not that interesting outdoors....

It'll be interesting seeing a much more tempered Indy queue compared to Disneyland.

>No animals

lmaooooo

i still think we'll see Capybaras eventually but I'm disappointed animal-wise if these are close to final/final plans.

I'm hopeful Encanto is the next home-run by Disney. It'll be nice to see something of that scale skewing much more family/younger when our recent large expansions have been Tron, Guardians, Galaxy's Edge, and Pandora. And Monsters, Indy, and Villains will tend more "big kid." Even Slinky Dog Dash can be intimidating for little ones. MMRR (and I guess Ratatouille) are the only large-scale family/young skewing rides in the resort in a long while, possibly since New Fantasyland, or generously Frozen (although it still gatekeeps with a drop, just like Tiana's). Exciting prospects, and even though I'm bitter about the location of Cars, that should also help satisfy a younger crowd.

Probably a much more tempered attraction as well.

No animals in Disney's Animal Kingdom featured in the land that in real life contains the most bio diversity on the planet.

Gee, it's almost like this was greenlit purely to shoehorn two unfitting IPs into this park and not to make a great new addition to Animal Kingdom that actually fit the park.

I'm just as annoyed by this as you are, mind you.

 

[coffeefan]

Yes, we want anacondas added to Tropical Americas.

It's almost as if this land wasn't originally designed with the sizable trail space some of the other lands have.

I mean, it's disappointing, but they're reusing most of the infrastructure, and there wasn't much there for the animals. I'd prefer preserving the attraction count with the play area in this instance. The one habitat that was in Dinoland was a nothingburger.

 

[Fox&Hound]

Do we know the ride system for Encanto yet? Any rumors?

So exciting

Rumor is sets of a couple linked tracked vehicles, which according to the press release will be shaped like furniture Casita has conjured and set in motion.

Something something blessing of space something Walt quote here something I want to see anacondas and Capybaras.

I think down the road I wouldn't be shocked if they added small-medium sized animal enclosures.

They should build an Australia land, move the Nemo show there, and put an animal trail where Nemo currently is.

Never gonna happen though

 

[Brer Panther]

You think the reason why they're not gonna do any animals is because it'd be too expensive? Or because they don't want the guys who went after SeaWorld to get on their cases?

 

[doctornick]

I don’t think it’s happening, unfortunately. Play scape instead.

It really would be sad if they wouldn’t add at least one or two smaller enclosures. I mean this is a brand new continent should have some actual live animal representation

An Amazon Rainforest River Safari would be amazing though tbh.

They probably have data that new rides will increase attendance more.
