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

that may actually be part of the new ride after budget cuts. You board a vehicle, they shove you down a flight of stairs, and then you end in a gift shop.

I’d VQ the hell out of that.

She does get redeemed in the end though.



And Wall-E would actually be a great fit, if it was implemented right. Say there was a mini-land that was set in the years after the movie in which plants are starting to grow again and humans are re-learning how to care for them.

I see Wall-E more as the cute character who would be on signs in a walkthrough that teaches guests about conservation (I think they already do this on the walkway to Conservation Station for its 6 daily visitors. Kind of like how I’d have supported Nemo on displays in The Living Seas to draw attention but don’t think he needed a ride there. The former draws attention to promote learning while the latter distracts from learning.

Wall-E would be great in Epcot.

Well, Joe rohde is back. He just posted a video on his instagram of him walking in WDI saying back for some work.

 

[DCBaker]

Was that confirmed anywhere?

It looks like Joe has confirmed it today.

This should make those really skeptical feel a little better.

Yes just like when Baxter was asked to come back as a consultant for TBA

 

[SamusAranX]

Hope Joe being back means good things, I’m worried about this project; AK is the only park besides arguably MK that is still whole in its vision and theming

The Return of the Animal King(dom park)

 

[ToTBellHop]

He probably just heard that you can’t ride TBA this week unless you work at Imagineering.

So with things progressing for Dinoland, anyone have thoughts on the rumored e ticket addition to AK potentially coming?

My original thought was Lion King since they’re also developing one for DLP and it’s an IP that fits and already has a presence in the park. But I know this has already been discussed a little bit

Some have suggested it will use the Shanghai Pirates ride technology. Perhaps Lion King based...

I felt good when Bruce Vaughn ripped up their old concept...but now I feel even better with Joe Rohde walking into the building.

WALL-E only belongs in EPCOT, and it is kind of a travesty they haven't done ANYHING with it.

I've been commenting recently about the Shanghai Pirates ride tech since it was all the buzz a few years back that multiple WDW parks were fighting over who would get it (theme tbd of course). It would be interesting if the tech was brought to DAK, though I personally don't see Lion King as a good fit for that ride system. Avatar The Way of Water on the other hand...that seems like a no brainer! Though I could also see the tech easily applied to something in DHS or MK (Moana for MK, not sure what for DHS) Anywho, I love the recent uptick in rumors and speculation. It's what I've always found most fun about this site, and many here have such great ideas too. Always fun to dream!

All those would work great too.

What's the rumor for Lion King in Paris? Hadn't heard anything about that but would love to see both the IP and that park get some love.

Latest rumor over in California is that a Shanghai Pirates ride technology will be the E-ticket attraction anchoring the new Avatar land in California Adventure. There has been much debate as to whether cloning that back to WDW or trying to bring a clone of Flight of Passage to California is a terrible mistake.
