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

This is the Tropical Americas Thread.

Commenting before @MisterPenguin can rightfully scold us.

Since the vast majority of Disney guests aren't going to visit multiple parks around the world for a variety of reasons

I’d actually love to see the data on this. I think there are more of us than most people think.

Ideally there are variations of favorite attractions - big thunder is the best example. Is WDW and Tokyo a 100% clone? All the others are quite different.

If you really want to argue that the Orlando area has as much to draw people as Tokyo, Paris, or Los Angeles if you remove the theme parks, then be my guest, but... you're going to sound silly and no one is going to take you seriously.

No one is really saying this. You live in Florida, visit WDW regularly and own a beach house… so that’s how you feel.

flying back from Paris I was sitting next to a man from France headed for a vacation in florida - I highly doubt he had any plans to visit theme parks.

Oh, I'm done scolding. People didn't notice who 'liked' my "this is..." post.

 

[TheCoasterNerd]

So, some tropical americas, eh?

Hey if it were’t for your reminders…. I may have to look at what thread topic I had ventured into again…

So, speaking of tropical places, when are they going to reopen Typhoon Lagoon?

 

[Gremlin Gus]

I'd love to at least get a glimpse of what the ride system for Encanto will be.

I'm guessing based off of what has been said about the ride so far, I'm guessing it might be either Omnimover or Trackless, I'm leaning more towards the ride being trackless as they did say at D23 and what we've heard about the ride, we're going throughout the Casita and to various rooms of it which does (to me at least) sound like it's trackless.

Never heard of it.

I wonder if they'll actually include a single live animal from the "Tropical Americas" in this new area? I didn't catch any allocated space, no matter how small, dedicated to anything like while looking at the permits/layouts online.

Disney will probably just forgo that. Might as well, since they're hellbent on ignoring anything that made the park special or gave it identity.

Excited to see this part of the park close to bring us something actually good.

I'm beyond excited about a good Indy ride.

You might want to lean the other way

I’d be totally fine with an Omnimover if the show scenes are well done!

FINALLY! All of these trackless rides are starting to feel the same.

ALL HAIL THE OMNIMOVER!!!

You just made my entire day.

 

[Disnutz311]

Omnimover for the win!!

 

[JackCH]

An omnimover is perfect for Animal Kingdom. Should be high capacity and far more reliable than trackless for a park that needs consistent capacity. Especially in the rain.

Huh, interesting, I kind of expected it to be trackless, but I'm perfectly fine with it being an Omnimover, thanks for confirming it!

Though now that I think about it, I suppose an Omnimover for the Encanto attraction could work, especially seeing as AK really does need that capacity. As I said before, I'm perfectly fine with it being an Omnimover, I just hope the ride is good as I'm a huge Encanto fan and I really hope that it'll be worth the wait.

It’ll have an awesome queue but let’s hope the ride is better than Mermaid.
