As someone who gets motion sickness and claustrophobic in certain contexts, Fun Wheel is an all-round horrible and scary time for me. Almost had a mini panic attack on it last ride (yes, it was embarrassing).

This is also someone who will ride any coaster, lol. It's all about perception.

With you- 100%. That ride scares the heck out of me.

RIP ITTBAB. It’s really missed at DCA. The lobby alone and walking down that path below grade and into the “caves” is better than anything at Avengers Campus. It was the best indoor themed space at DCA and it was transportive. You don’t have a lot of that at DCA.

They probably will be keeping the caverns and such especially with the Jane Goodall tribute and Plaque by the entry way into the theater queue...This may not take long if they are looking for a summer opening..

The concept art shows it looks like a hollow tree including where Clawhouser / Hopper was..

I've always wondered what happened to that tunnel when they built the patio area on top of it. Hopefully they can return to that level of immersion when they branch out into Simba.

That would be nice but didn’t the permits imply some pretty heavy duty demo/ construction in there?

They're expecting a Winter opening though, likely November/December to tie in with Zootopia 2

While Clawhouser is in the hollow of a tree, the rest of the (projected) cast look like they're running past that tree. They're running on grass about to go over a root of tree. Behind them is not the back of a tree hollow, but one of the forest biomes. We see tree houses, a skyline, and a street lamp with street signs. We also see what looks like the end of a pier on the bottom left.

So, to recap, it is not all in the hollow of a tree, and very likely, there is no shrinking of the audience. We humans would be as tall as the gazelle or water buffalo without shrinking. If we were 'shrunk' those characters' hooves would fill up the entire screen if they got close to us. Altho... in a fantasy setting, who knows if the audience gets to experience Zootopia from the POV of animals of different sizes and our 'scale' would be constantly changing...

Could also be using the Jam cams that are throughout Zootopia as you see clawhouse has a few laptops around him..

So you still sticking with this prediction. I mean you are an “insider”. And what is your accuracy percentage for your predictions? Are you up to 107.3% like WDWPro?

He hasn’t posted since February 13 so I’m assuming that was the day he realized he was wrong about his “insiderness”.

Y’all never learn do ya? ;) i was away for time for vacation and also reconnecting with friends that have some input on this. Zootopia streaming has gone up in development and we will see both! For a time zootopia and then a retransition and back to tough to be a bug. Similar to test tracks refresh and return to branding before. Surprised it will go this way but thank you for your patience. Does this clear it up now? No more doubters

Well, I was going to write out a whole reply to your utterly ridiculous and nonsensical post, but I think this does a better job than anything I could possibly come up with:

A big surprise. Like the sun exploding tomorrow. It ain't happening the way you just described. Either you or your friends are lying.
