I'd love a tropical area with dolphins, blue lagoons, tiki torches, and beautiful lush Polynesian vegetation!

No, there was one Dino immediately in front of you. Some concept art shows the "wide shot" idea, but it was not built that way.

Had CTX / DINOSAUR opened with a large expansive scene (maybe at dusk?) to introduce to you the world of Dinos before turning into darkened paths and close encounters, it would have been much more effective. And imagine the real "uh oh" factor, when you went down that pitch black area.

I remember going on CTX our first visit in 1999. It scared me to death. Not so much in later years when fewer and fewer effects were working as designed. It's a great attraction. (Yes, I am excited for Indy. Both views can co-exist.)

One and only one trip to WDW that I did not go to the Magic Kingdom. I did Epcot and Animal Kingdom, and I must admit, it felt different.

I'm not excited for Piston Peak at all, but Villains, absolutely. I just hope the land is better done than New Fantasyland. That was a project with too many missed opportunities.

I'm thankful that we're at least getting a real geographical area that fits in with the original Africa and Asia.

I'll miss Harambe as a place to taste African cuisine.

I hope they surprise us!

^^^ I sadly agree with you, @Disney Irish. Unfortunately, almost any topics on these Boards (and others too), people can't politely agree to disagree. Because we are not "face to face", it seems to be open season for too many people to be rude and demeaning. It's a sad state of this world. What...

I played around with the idea of expanding the whole Paradise Gardens into a Coco themed area. AI delivered some great results: https://insightsandsounds.blogspot.com/2026/01/coco-boat-ride-area-expanded-for-disney.html

I'll take Gringotts over Forbidden Journey any day. Even though it could be a great ride, I get very sick on the original Potter E ticket. Not on Gringotts. Can't wait to try Ministry of Magic.

The original Jules Verne version was a masterpiece!

In addition to these great attractions and the Tropical Americas setting, I want some live entertainment and a place for some patio dining and a good mojito.

LOVE Rome! I'd go back in an instant.
