Side note, an Adventurers Club style TSR themed to Indy movies would be the most sought after ADR in all 4 parks. Just sayin'...

I am sure, absolutely sure this would be true... Much like Hoo Dee Doo at Fort Wilderness, a dinner theater version of The Adventurer's Club would be a huge hit...if it happens to contain an "adults Only" hidden Speakeasy, so much the better and there would be even more people clamoring to get in... It would fit beautifully at many different hotels... Poly, Grand Floridian, Boardwalk, Yacht Club, Animal Kingdom Lodge...as well as DAK, DHS, or MK... though I would avoid the MK with that one. Then they need to add the "Happy Haunts Ball" as a Haunted restaurant/spekeasy to MK.....which would also be a ridiculously huge hit.

SWGE’s big flaw in hindsight was the sequel trilogy use. I know at the time of design and announcement it hadn’t crashed and burned yet, but in hindsight it would’ve been more well received as the OT.

They were definitely riding off of the high of Force Awakens making 2 billion & becoming the highest grossing film domestically (it still holds that record!).

But OT still should've been what they went with. It was the safer bet as it had already stood the test of time. They also had several movies/shows set in that era in production at the time & still do. I bet they were kicking their selves when Mando launched to high praise just a month before GE opened & Rise of Skywalker crashed.

Luckily, I don't think we'll have this issue with Indy. There's no way they're going old man Indy for this ride.

So no plush Indy with a walker with tennis balls on the bottom?

I feel like Indy fits the look and feel of the park as a whole...I am sure they will give it a storyline that fits the conservation theme of the park...Much like other IJ movies, raiding the temples ( or environment) can cause cataclysmic results...
If they add a mythical creature and also have some South American animal exhibits I think it will be a perfect addition...
now Encanto I am not as sure about....other than the look fitting the park...

Ok so this a thought I've been thinking about for a while and I want to ask, is there any rumors of the "Finding Nemo: The Big Blue... and Beyond!" stage show next to Dinoland/Tropical Americas being rethemed or removed in the future? Because I was thinking maybe they could possibly use that building as a possible expansion plot for Tropical Americas. I think if Disney does decide to expand Tropical Americas in anyway, that could be a good option imo, now for what could there, I was thinking they could either easily replace Finding Nemo with another stage show featuring an IP that's set in Tropical Americas like Up, Encanto, Emperor's New Groove, Indiana Jones, etc. Or they could use the Rio IP (The Blue Sky Studios film) as a ride there where we could fly across Rio de Janeiro or the Amazon rainforest using the same or a similar ride system to Soarin' Around the World. I know the Rio IP is dead and we really haven't gotten any Blue Sky representation in the parks so maybe it won't happen, but I think a Rio ride would be cool as the film is about conservation of the Spix's Macaw (and just conservation in general) and it would be nice to have some Brazilian representation in the parks, so there's that. But regardless, I think replacing the "Finding Nemo: The Big Blue... and Beyond!" show isn't a bad idea in general if Disney does want to expand Tropical Americas in the future.

I'm guessing they put an Encanto attraction there because it is set in the rainforests of Colombia and Encanto is a popular IP that could get more content in the future maybe as a theatrical sequel or Disney+ sequel (Ok, unrelated to anything WDW/TA related here, but is anyone else surprised they haven't done that much with Encanto besides some books, because I'm surprised that he haven't gotten any confirmation of a continuation to Encanto besides Jared Bush wanting to hopefully continue it). But I also think they put it there because there was going to be an Encanto attraction for the now (possibly?) scrapped "Beyond Big Thunder Mountain" expansion before Villains Land took over that.
