Next up is new Space, but considering last decade they always had 2 big projects happening concurrently, I would assume next expansion gets announced soon
The plot between TSL and Frozen is larger than Mystic Point and TSL
You could definitely do another mini land with a single E ticket or a couple smaller rides
They have very plainly stated they want to add their recent hits to the parks (aka new properties)
For WDAS that is Moana, Encanto and Zootopia
For Pixar that is Coco and Inside Out
It doesn't matter if they're pre or post pandemic, Encanto had a very terrible box office run but was a huge...
Coco and Inside Out are Pixar's most popular original movies of the last 10 years
That's more than enough popularity to give it a big ride and a spinner
They're adding all the animated movies that are almost always trending on Disney+ that still don't have rides
Moana, Encanto, Zootopia, Coco, potentially Cars, Lion King
Pandora 100% needs a 3rd smaller experience, like a show or trail
But adding another big draw E ticket there before Asia or Africa would make the park really uneven IMO
I think Africa needs a 2nd ride (not counting the train) before Pandora gets a 3rd
it would balance out the park perfectly IMO:
Africa: 2 rides, 1 show, 1 trail
Asia: 2 rides, 1 show, 1 trail
Pandora: 2 rides
Tropical Americas: 3 rides, 1 show
Using the plot between TSL and Frozen for MORE Toy Story would be a big waste of space
It's such a small park, it doesn't need 4 attractions based on a single IP
Hopefully that the area gets used for another "Fantasyland expansion" mini-land like Frozen
I don't think anyone is expecting Tropical Americas to include a trail like Maharajah and Gorilla, but to not have a couple small enclosures on the scale of the Tree of Life ones would be a missed opportunity, especially with the popularity of capybaras nowadays and them being featured in Encanto
If Beastly Kingdom had never been a thing and Disney decided to build a medieval european land at DAK today people would complain SO MUCH that it doesn't fit the park
Do you know where the DHS expansion would fall in terms of timing, in relation to the other plans?
My understanding of the schedule is:
(but please correct me)
1: Dinoland and Adventureland Moana
2: MK Phase 1 and DHS
3: MK Phase 2
the big thunder project will likely only get a vague annoucement again, but hopefully with dak and moana they give very concrete info with names / dates / ride systems / etc
