What percentage of the park still has actual animals?? After passing Discovery Island you see more in the back than you do up front.

Yes you’re correct.
I don’t think thematic integrity is a big concern here. It’s not like the shows in this theater have always tried super hard to teach us about the intrinsic value of nature wildlife or conservation.

Whatever those guys are getting paid, it isn't enough.

I can’t/wont speak for others, but IMHO, I always (foolishly?) and I even think TWDC holds itself to a much higher standard than other parks … if the other sights are satisfied with so-so, that’s fine with me. I am really disappointed with average. If that means I’m being overly pessimistic & critical, well then…guilty

Maybe, If you are under a certain age and are only familiar with the mediocrity pit that is todays Walt Disney Company.

Today's Disney only neglects maintenance to the extent they can legally get away with. Paul Pressler's maintenance standards literally killed people.

Stupid and generic is a fitting slogan for todays WDC.

Rohde himself has said Zootopia doesn't belong and that's going in the Tree of Life. Encanto and Indy are about humans, Even Avatar is a stretch in my opinion. As long as Iger and his ilk are running the parks "theme" will always be secondary to "promotion".
How many animals were completely removed from the park with the change from Dinoland to Tropical Americas?

Only Marley the crocodile. The 2 storks were moved to discovery island and so were the tortoises.

The Theater in The Wild was a part of the story of the Dino Institute which is why you see the logo on the directional sign...It's "Intentions" were that it was to showcase symposiums and talk about the findings of the students digs and show them on stage...However, it changed when the students showcased more music than Dino Bones..
If anything it could change to The Theater of The Tropics..Which makes more sense.

Yeah! You guys who like what Disney is doing (globally renowned rides) don't even know what you're missing!! You're just too YOUNG to understand it.
Back in MY day we had great amazing rides like Superstar Limo, or Journey into YOUR Imagination, or Tiki Room Under New Management, or 4 different Autotopias in one park, or Flying Saucers,
Or we can just remember that all periods of Disney have had some things come out that we're not great and other amazing things.

Yeah, and nowadays we have great amazing rides like Tiana's Bayou "Adventure", the Ratatouille ride, Crack-Addict Goofy's Slow-Moving Train Ride... and yeah, every so often we get something nice, but during Eisner's run we got rides like Test Track and Soarin' in addition to Superstar Limo and Journey Into YOUR Imagination.
Fingers crossed we here about a Food Co-op and swamp critters being recruited to be musicians in the band for the big party at the end!
