Now that I think about it, you don't suppose Mr. Tarzan is sitting in the theater waiting for the show to begin as they start to disassemble it, do you?

As someone who gets motion sickness and claustrophobic in certain contexts, Fun Wheel is an all-round horrible and scary time for me. Almost had a mini panic attack on it last ride (yes, it was embarrassing).

This is also someone who will ride any coaster, lol. It's all about perception.

With you- 100%. That ride scares the heck out of me.

If ITTBAB is like this, is MV3D gonna be Coachella in terms of crowds? Is there gonna be beach balls in the audience? Do I need to bring rave clothing?

I'm bringing sparklers!

RIP ITTBAB. It’s really missed at DCA. The lobby alone and walking down that path below grade and into the “caves” is better than anything at Avengers Campus. It was the best indoor themed space at DCA and it was transportive. You don’t have a lot of that at DCA.

ITTBAB was 27 years old when it closed. Time is something isn’t it?

They probably will be keeping the caverns and such especially with the Jane Goodall tribute and Plaque by the entry way into the theater queue...This may not take long if they are looking for a summer opening..

The concept art shows it looks like a hollow tree including where Clawhouser / Hopper was..

I've always wondered what happened to that tunnel when they built the patio area on top of it. Hopefully they can return to that level of immersion when they branch out into Simba.

That would be nice but didn’t the permits imply some pretty heavy duty demo/ construction in there?

Unless their gutting the seating area for new seating and patching holes up where spiders jumped I have no clue..Just, wild guessing...

They're expecting a Winter opening though, likely November/December to tie in with Zootopia 2

While Clawhouser is in the hollow of a tree, the rest of the (projected) cast look like they're running past that tree. They're running on grass about to go over a root of tree. Behind them is not the back of a tree hollow, but one of the forest biomes. We see tree houses, a skyline, and a street lamp with street signs. We also see what looks like the end of a pier on the bottom left.

So, to recap, it is not all in the hollow of a tree, and very likely, there is no shrinking of the audience. We humans would be as tall as the gazelle or water buffalo without shrinking. If we were 'shrunk' those characters' hooves would fill up the entire screen if they got close to us. Altho... in a fantasy setting, who knows if the audience gets to experience Zootopia from the POV of animals of different sizes and our 'scale' would be constantly changing...
