PRECISELY. 👍 Basic premise, but it's deep in the Amazon instead of Mongolia.

I mean...considering the mandatory Animal Enemies sequence in every movie, there IS a potential connection there, if the ride would be centered around that. In order for Indy to get X artifact he had to go through an ancient temple or whatever filled with creatures. Perhaps the temple leads to...

Hmm...granted, they'd have to change the setting from Asia to South America, but...🤔

The funny thing is, I could EASILY see Manny, Sid, Diego, and Scrat added to Blizzard Beach. SEE: The opening sequence of Ice Age 2: The Meltdown. 😂

Plus a relatively small sauropod (long-neck) lived in the Amazon. Not an Iguanadon, sadly...but still. Keep in mind, *Animal* Kingdom. BTW, it's not time travel we're getting at, but a legendary "lost world" a la Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

That's the rumor.

So regarding the question of Indiana Jones fitting in AK... Again, it's be interesting if Indy's ride actually uses the dino audio-anolamatronics. Granted, Indy's an archeologists adventurer, but the idea would be the search for a powerful artifact LEADS him into a remote part of South America...

I've half joked they could make the Indy ride INDIANA JONES & THE LAND OF THE DINOSAURS.... As in, Indy's search for an Amazonian artifact ends up with him realizing he's in Pellucidar, perhaps....

Thing is, a good coaster is a go-to safe bet to ensure visitors have a good time. I said before, Primeval Whirl was a key element of keeping Dinoland a well-attended part of AK--that coaster and Dinosaur (Countdown to Extinction) TOGETHER helped it be a worthwhile land in the park. Now, with PW...

I mean, to be fair the queue once you get indoors is long enough for that to be understandable. What *I* find weird about the Remy line is how you enter the doors at the very beginning...and then immediately go outside again through other doors. You're outside for however long depending on the...

Funny thing is...one of the Indy tie-in novels way back involved him discovering a dino-land!

As was brought up before, they went all in with Pandora before Avatar 2 was even CLOSE to production. Whatever the issues with Indy 5, Indy is still a deeply beloved character. So stuff set during his prime (as opposed to the late setting of the movie necessitated by, y'know, Harrison Ford's...

I mean, whatever you may say about the Star Wars Sequel trilogy, Rise Of The Resistance is a darned good time. So a ride being better than the movies actually has some nice precedent.

Well, there IS the $17 billion ten year plan, but they're currently focusing on MK with the "park expansion" element. (Course, behind Fantasyland there's only room for so much, even if they clear away the BTS buildings and move them out of the railroad boarder....) Regardless, there's a LOT...

I mean, remember all the rumors a few years back about Chris Pratt as a new Indy? Honestly, the Jurassic World films, whatever their issues, pretty much showed he'd be solid in the role.
