Some insiders around here are saying that Dinoland might be receiving some updates, mostly to replace Chester and Hester's.

Dueling Dragons/Dragon Challenge shutting down is, in a way, kind of a small tragedy in of itself. Unlike Universal Studios Florida, which has essentially gutted out every original attraction that was present at opening day (with the lone exception of ET Adventure), Islands of Adventure had...

Didn't they already redesign/refurb Paradise Pier? And now they're doing it again? Jesus.

Vaya con dios, Great Movie Ride.

So it actually has a name. TBH I'd figure they'd just keep calling it "Star Wars Land".

Please no. I like Zootopia a lot but it just doesn't really gel with Animal Kingdom's morals outside of "Well it has animals ahuh". After seeing what's happened to Epcot, the very last thing Animal Kingdom needs to be dumbed down to appeal to the lowest common denominator. You might say "but...

There's been rumors floating around that Dinorama may get replaced.

So I got back from my trip to AK earlier today, and uh, holy . This ride was incredible. No other motion similar has ever made me feel like I was actually falling down and flying around like this one.

Hell, they'd have to remove the entire resort to fix it. EDIT: Make that all of Florida. lol

You never quite know. For example, just look at the compsognathus effect on DINOSAUR. It was broken and deactivated for nearly 20 or so years until they finally addressed it by replacing the physical puppets with screens/projections last year. So, in that sense, maybe the Yeti will too be...

Do we know if ET Adventure is going down with the rest of KidZone? I'd honestly be kinda sad if that's the case. ET's pretty much the last standing reminiscence of Universal Studios Florida of old. It's the only attraction from opening day that's still operational.

I mean, that's just what Mario games have kinda looked like as of late, particularly Mario 3D World.

Expansions, man. Expansions.

EPCOT is kind of a weird park to work with. Like, yes, us hardcore Disney crusties long for the days when it was just an educational park with slow moving dark rides as its primary attractions. Thing is...people just don't go to Walt Disney World for that kind of stuff, lol. They want escapism...

The Excavator? Mr. Hill did mention that they wanted to reuse the Excavator idea for Adventureland in Hong Kong Disneyland (http://jimhillmedia.com/editor_in_chief1/b/jim_hill/archive/2011/11/10/why-for-was-the-excavator-never-built-at-disney-s-animal-kingdom-park.aspx), which kinda sounds like...

I agree with your essay there, DDLand, but...

Huh, really? Do you have a link to that interview? I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to overhaul it, considering DINOSAUR already received a fairly big refurbishment sometime ago. They even went as far to replace the nonfunctional compsognathus puppets with screens/projections, so it's still...

You're suggesting for Disney to invest in (ie waste money) on making evil twin versions of the parks they already have? What?

Honestly, if Dinorama gets scrapped, I'd want its replacement to still pertain to Dinoland USA. Would hate to see the land end up being awkwardly reduced in half in favor of another theme, like what happened to the Lost Continent in Islands of Adventure when Harry Potter came along...

Like I said on the other page, they just went through the trouble of giving DINOSAUR a nice refurbishment/overhaul some months ago. They even bothered to address the previously non-functional compsognathus sequence by replacing the puppets with all new lovely screens. Pretty sure it ain't going...
