Fix it up! Fix it up! Fix it up! Don't let it ride into the sunset in the poor condition I saw in July.

The professional complainers have to maintain the narrative that everything that current Disney does is terrible and everything from 20+ years ago is amazing

You’d think there would be a Olympic sport for the level of mental gymnastics it takes.

I like the "But Dinoland was supposed to look like a cheap afterthought...you just don't get it!" ones, those are funny.

 

[Freshee61]

Again , why cant they let that corner alone! Leave dinosaur ride, the dig site alone along with bar & restaurant !!??? Go ham on the other side with silly encanto. Dinosaur belongs there. UGH. thanks for letting me rant. (crying)

I really believe this will be a massive upgrade to Animal Kingdom.

I wouldn't be shocked if they're letting it go until closing like we saw with Splash, Country Bears, even Tom Sawyer (as many of the props and water effects on the island were broken). Although I would love to see them do some sprucing before it goes, a full refurb to fix stuff seems unlikely.

I’m so tired of being told I like something because of nostalgia.

That wasn’t necessarily my intention. I know there are a million reasons why we like the things we like.

The Dinosaur preshow is incredibly well-done. It’s full of memorable quotes, and features two great performances. But I do think part of the charm comes from how 90s it feels. It’s nostalgic.

These parks are built on nostalgia. Main Street U.S.A, Frontierland, Carousel of Progress, etc. Even things that weren’t originally built as nostalgic throwbacks become that over time. We like them for a wide variety of reasons. We love the artistry, the storytelling, the attention to detail. But we can’t completely dismiss nostalgia as a factor. The parks, at their very best, make us feel like kids again. That’s nostalgia.

Hasn't there been slow repairs on individual dinosaurs over the past year? I distinctly remember the one alioramus eating the smaller dino disappearing and I though it had come back refreshed. A shame if the ones they've worked on have already broke

Nostalgia is a powerful feeling. Disney is very good at evoking it.

It's not derogatory to like something because you have fond memories of it.

I do think that "Dinoland was underappreciated" and "this will be a massive upgrade" aren't mutual exclusive

(Not saying you are implying that)

Interesting that this specifically states that the ride will have Antonio chasing his family through the Colombian rainforest. Was that premise ever officially stated by Disney? If so apologies for forgetting.

From Disney:
"If you’re a fan of drawers, floors, and doors, let’s go! The first-ever “Encanto”-themed ride-through attraction is coming to Animal Kingdom, featuring the beloved Madrigal family from the Walt Disney Animation Studios film. Inside the Casita, Antonio has just received his special gift — the ability to communicate with animals — and his room has transformed into a rainforest. It’s time to go explore alongside him, and you never know what member of the family you might bump into…"

 

[Brer Panther]

Huh, so apparently the ride WILL take place entirely in Antonio's room?

 

[Gremlin Gus]

No, it'll have his room at the end of the ride, but I assume we're going all throughout the Casita (and the rooms) during the ride, but here's a TL;DR of all the information we know if you want it

Monsters, Inc. crossover?

Whoever wrote this must be a regular attendee of DL. Otherwise, they would have referenced the MMRR version at HS.

They put both on there.

Has he ever ridden MMRR? Because what was described is nothing like it. It's an empty warehouse with screens.
