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

[eddie104]

I am less sure given their recent track record... I believe they have been able to in the past.....

You don’t think Disney can deliver a solid lighting package for this ride ??

There so many carousel styles out there with cool little gimmicks.

They are not afraid to show off new technology when trying to impress the GP.

I still think the carousel would probably fit better somewhere in Discovery Island.

I'm certain that Disney can light it up with blue lighting and also spend $150 million to make it a themed carousel. That's as far as I would go.

This.

Why on earth can’t they stick this just past the entry area…like just past the animal exhibits or something? It would fit a lot better than shoving it in this new land. Heck, there was originally a concept for a carousel (double decker I believe) as a focal point after entry at one point…before they finally settled on the Tree of Life.

Why don't they build a dark ride based on The Jungle Book.... can't get more animal baswed than that.... and use the original animated cartoon characters.... It could be charming and theme appropriate...with great music and memorable songs...

They have historically for whatever reason seemed to be very dismissive of Jungle Book. I’m genuinely shocked they did a live action remake of it (the 2010s one to be clear; for my money it’s the best one they’ve done). I think a Jungle Book dark ride would be an easy win but they seem to just have no interest. And I don’t mean just modern Disney either, it’s been mostly ignored by all eras of the company since it came out.

I think it would make for a great retheme of Kali river rapids.

The most Disney has ever cared about the Jungle Book was taking some the characters and making them fly planes for some reason.

I’ve always wondered what it is about the film they are resistant to. Now I admittedly don’t think the animated film is great but it’s relatively well liked and has a major stand out song and recognizable characters.

I wasn't actually talking about lighting in particular... Looks like lots of lanterns.... Does not seem any more impresive than that....it is the whole experience... it looks like a carousel with Disney character themed seating....I thik if it was going to have more sophisticated movements and effects they would have already been marketing it....
and they did not do so well with the lighting package at Celebration Gardens or whatever it is called....

I disagree.

Good visuals to see how much this is actually going to be an expansion of space. We may not be able to walk all the way back there, but Encanto looks to be a Dinosaur sized attraction?

 

[Disgruntled Walt]

Ugh. Could they please add the back of the mountain when they fix the yeti?

 

[Disstevefan1]

I will tell you it’s about time.

For me the clock started in 2020 when primeval whirl closed.

This work is a minimum of three years away from completing, that’s 8 years.

Tack on three more for Indy that’s at least 11 years.

Disney takes way too long to do anything (except build DVC towers)
