Also, almost every land (minilands excepted) should have at least three attractions. That two became the norm is madness.

TA has 3-4 attractions coming with it (the Encanto attraction, the Indiana Jones attraction, the carousel, and the rumored Indiana Jones themed play area), the Monsters Inc and Cars Mini-Land both have 1 major attraction and 1 smaller attraction, and Villains I think has 2 major attractions coming with it with some smaller attractions probably coming with that land as well. So two rides per new land being the norm doesn't seem to really apply for any of the new lands coming to WDW in the next 5 years

Cars isn't really a miniland; it's just part of Frontierland. Monstropolis is, and it's the correct amount of compact for two attractions. Tropical Americas is an overlay of a three-attraction land, so it makes sense for it to follow suit. I genuinely hope Villains has more than two, but we'll see. The real issue is stuff like Galaxy's Edge, Pandora, and Avengers Campus are big examples from recent memory where the attraction density really fell short.

If they're going to actually expand Animal Kingdom, I think there's only one logical choice: BEASTLY KINGDOM!!!

Am at WDW for the week and was at AK today. Excavators were on site ripping up the existing concrete and pavement. Only was able to really stop and take a look in the afternoon near closing but active work was happening when I passed by in the morning.
Some other photos I grabbed. It's very surreal seeing half the area walled off already. RIP Cementosaurus....not ready for Dinosaur to share the same fate next year..

They should take the walls down for like two weeks, and just have the rubble and a big asteroid sitting there steaming away.

This sign always reads to me "you are an idiot and we know what's best now give us your money". Maybe I've just become too much a cynic ha.

I completely agree. I have a theory that if Fantastic 4 (and even Elio) do well that will give disney the reason (and the IP) to refresh MK's Tomorrowland and esp DL. Samething with Pandora, I have no doubt they'll do more with it across the world but I think they want to wait for more movies so each land of pandora across the world is different (unlike Starwars).
For Hollywood, I think they are waiting out the licensing deals for zootopia at Shanghai. I also know it's been rumored for a while disney has been trying to get the marvel rights back so maybe they are planning a bigger better avengers campus for AC.
EPCOT just needs to focus on fixing what's broken. They are doing it w test track and here's hoping SSE and Figment are next
Oh, no! They discovered a fossil at the construction site!! This requires an archeological dig and will hold up construction for years!!!

Could be wrong but I don't think they can use the Fantastic Four at WDW as they have a representation at Universal

Yeah but there are rumors about superhero island becoming DC if Universal guys Warner so that may not be the case in a few years. Plus disney/marvel got the rights back to hulk and namor and when that happened I remember rumors about disney in convo about getting shared marvel park rights but maybe that was just a false rumor I heard 2 years ago

Spoke to my source (who no longer works for the company but has connections and sometimes shares what they hear), and they told me that there are cool animatronics planned for the Indiana Jones attraction.
Which I really needed to hear. But it's still a tough pill for me to swallow, losing Dinosaur. But at least we've got cool animatronics coming. At the expense of cool animatronics leaving.

That's exciting! Especially as Indiana Jones hasn't really had too many animatronics otherwise, outside of Indy himself and the Snake (not that it needed them, as the ride's great). But then again, Dinosaur had quite a few cool animatronics too. I suspect the new version won't have as many as that, but it also may not need them, just so long as they don't pull a Tiana

I’m torn — on the one hand, I’m glad they’re trying to put some real effort in. On the other hand, we just saw how “cool animatronics” played out at TBA, so I’m a little nervous. Fingers crossed for a better outcome this time!
