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

[Sirwalterraleigh]

I know you’re kidding but yes actually. Always has been.

I am legitimately not surprised by that. I was really only half-kidding.

All zoos have always been on PETA’s hit list…forever.

And yet…habitat destruction in the wild and a bullet If they show their hides seems to be how “nature” intended it to be?

I don’t quite get it

Was the Yeti in A-Mode for you today?

I squinted…but I’m sure it will be any day now

The Styracosaurus has been fixed!

The Styracosaurus has been fixed!

I guess I was on my last…ride last week?

And most of it was working…the sauropod was dark…but the rest was a go

I mean given how it looked in September-

Off a POV from yesterday here's everything wrong with DINOSAUR right now:

• Less fog than usual in the time travel room
• Styracosaurus is static.
• Ailoramus has limited movement and the skin around his neck looks like its falling off.
• Raptors are in the dark
• First Carnosaurus is frozen except for his mouth.
• Nearly all the lights in the scene before the second carno are out.
• Infamous incoming pterodactyl broken
• Second Carnosaurus’s movement is very jerky and there’s a strobe light on him similar to the Yeti.
• Final Carnosaurus is leaning out but there seems to be little to no movement in the figure anymore.

I think it's safe to say it's definitely entering the "let it rot" phase before closure.

I'm very glad to see them giving the ride some love before it meets its end.

question, is the ride gonna be 2 stories? like HM or RotR, or is it just flat with a big ceiling like RR or SW

Trying to think of squares to fill the sheet since I'll be off work on the 1st.

- Dr. Seeker cosplays

- Disney actually does something special on last day (won't happen but you can fill a square with it)

- Cast member celebration after normal people leave

- Cast members give final goodbye with ride quote

- No ride merchandise left on last day and/or ride merchandise still available

Props start disappearing from queue

Been happening for a year or so, just not in Dinosaur specifically. In Restaurant O'saurus a punch of props have been ripped off the walls and windowsills, papers from the Boneyard were torn down, and I can't say for certain but the World's Largest Pin Truck sign lost a bunch of letters before they covered it and it could've been bad maintenance or very bold people.

Guest tries to get out of rover.

Sshhh... don't give away my plans...

Wristband given out in A.M. Guests angry they missed it.

Guests try to grab flora near ride vehicle.

Line snakes out into amphitheater

Disney sells "DINOSAUR Roars Away" merch

Dinosaur props available on Ebay before ride ends

Chester and Hester were exceedingly rare but existed as meetable characters before that, while Seeker's never met, so I doubt they would go through the trouble. Not that it wouldn't be awesome.

I expect guests to show up with the outfit since a few people did it for Rama.

A thought just occurred to me Between UOE and now this, were Bob Iger's parents eaten by dinosaurs at some point? He seems to have quite a vendetta against their appearances in the parks.

The end of the show must've really shook him.

Because the ones in Ellen's weren't generating interest in guests anymore. The Dino Land ones were roundly criticized. The ones in Countdown weren't related to an IP. Attempts to create a popular dinosaur franchise failed, while Universal's were successful.

Gertie is still in DHS and the dinosaur diorama is still in DL's train ride.

But you knew all this. This was just another feeble attempt to score points against Disney and Iger.

We all know what you're doing. We know your posts are generally not in good faith.

Good day.

They're DINOSAURS. They don't need a franchise attached to them.

I don't need to cover my mouth when I cough in public. But everyone around me is grateful that I did.

Dinosaur/CTX is STILL a better ride then Jurassic Park River Adventure. And the removal of all dinosaurs from WDW is, indeed, a tragedy. My niece and nephews love dinosaurs, and soon they won't see them in WDW anymore. Which is sad. We're not taking them to Universal, where they would be too afraid or too small to ride most of the good rides. The idea that Universal won dinosaurs in their theme parks is ridiculous. Disney is basically retreating for no reason. If they built a new state-of-the-art family dark ride themed to dinosaurs, it would be a great success.
