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

[discos]

So where exactly is the encanto house going, just wondering if we will see some good shots of building work

Wonder when we will start to see it going up

The facade will essentially be where Primeval Whirl used to be. We'll get really good construction shots for as long as the Boneyard stays open, but then once they close the entire land then I feel like we'll just be limited to views from the area near Theatre in the Wild which wont be much.

We will see steel structures later this year but none of the theming work will commence before the rest of Dinoland closes. So, that all will be a surprise in 2027.

Of course, we still have Bio to fly over…

Based off the image above, you should see the Casita decently well as of now, though whenever The Boneyard, Restaurantosaurus, and Dinosaur closed (or if we assume Dinosaur takes down the entirety of Dinoland USA down with it), you probably won't see the Encanto attraction or the Indiana Jones attraction that well at ground level

As for when we can see the see the structure for Encanto go up, I could see it happening later this year maybe in the Fall or Winter

DSNY put this together using the diagram from the permit filed. The Madrigal House is pretty much right where the middle/covered part of Primeval Whirl was

I took that diagram and overlayed it on google maps and made it 50% transparent to show how it fits:

Y'all need to get it through your Crystal Skull that Indy is (Temple of) doomed. This is my Last Crusade on the matter.

 

[FettFan]

See, that one I'm actually excited for. I think it could end up as an incredible ride.

The problem is not the ride itself; it’s the location. It’s always been the location.

Other than pure denial, why do people think Indiana Jones won't happen?

I feel it's more likely that Disney will open it with a minimal budget rather than cancel it

1/3 I'm a Dinosaur Stan, 1/3 my belief that Indiana Jones is a franchise that belongs in a museum, and 1/3 I don't see how Disney justifies it in the current economic environment.

Embarrassing.

1/3 my belief that Indiana Jones is a franchise that belongs in a museum,

Wrong.

and 1/3 I don't see how Disney justifies it in the current economic environment.

Isn't Indiana Jones the cheapest of these announced changes given that the ride system is already in place?

I am optimistic the Indy ride version at AK will be at least as good as the Disneyland version

I doubt they will put in the physical effects that make Indy so good at Disneyland - the fire, the smoke effects, the “backwards wall” - maybe we will get the boulder but even that I wonder about.

It will probably be lots of screens and 1 “worlds most advanced AA” that we can say is impressive until it stops working. Haha

we'll see - I recall early chatter being they wanted this to be the best version of it. Obviously no guarantee and understand people being pessimistic but I will remain hopeful

i haven’t seen Disney make any attraction as good as Indiana Jones. The only 2 that approach that level are radiator springs racers and rise.

Theoretically it should be the cheapest but we don’t have any budget numbers to back up that claim. Either way, I wish a Carnotaurus ambush upon you.

What’s wrong with liking dinosaurs?

Here’s a peek at the area from today:

 

[SamusAranX]

The ONLY reason that I could see them backing out of Indy is due to the tepid reception of the last movie. They were hoping to rebuild and reenergize the franchise and the film did the opposite.

I doubt they will though, and I could think of way worse IP fits for Tropical America, so best to leave it alone.

Reminds me of an old joke. A yeti, Kylo ren, and a blue shaman start to walk into a bar, then stop.

I feel like the IP is still popular - but when Harrison Ford was younger, keeping that memory alive. I think the recent video game did well/got good reviews
