Didn't both it and Zootopia say 2024?
That seems bold with Zootopia as the voice cast, unless already done can't really record until writers strike is over.

Does a writers strike impact theme park attraction writing?
No. But performers are not to work on anything that permitted studio property. Like conventions and festivals fall under same rule.

They didn’t date Zootopia, it just got the “we are planning” vs “we’re considering” language. It’s as done a deal as you can say these days.

I was never a BIG fan of ITTBAB. But I hate to see it go.
I didn't see anywhere for Zootopia that said 24. Then again I was tuning in and out of the stream
At that point same but I was almost sure of it.
Honestly when they first said Zootopia for Tree of Life I thought it was a new projection mapping show. Not a tough to be a big replacement until I saw it again in concept art.

Actually both Judy and Nick made their first Disney Parks appearance at a special Zootopia screening held in Animal Kingdom sometime in 2016. Before they meet guests at DCA a few months later.

On how to become a furry. Zootopia is a world where the characters are basically humans that look like animals.

Don't worry about what others are saying: the biomes presentation works because they are not human, in important ways for an animal theme park, and prefer different climates, and so on. Context matters: there won't be stuff about becoming a cop or entrepreneur in Animal Kingdom (not counting a companion park for Donald Duck, Robin Hood, Kit Cloudkicker and the like, which is only connected to the current park)
And the non-human aspects were in the movie, despite the Joe Rohde quote I fear is going to come up. (He might have been thinking of the Shanghai project)
Visiting animals at the "naturalist" club might be interesting. Wild Times, a animal themed entertainment center from old drafts of the movie, too

I’m here for this. The attraction is outdated and it needs a refresh. The technology is outdated. They probably don’t like the fact it scares small kids either, and for being a Genie+ attraction a refresh would make it more valuable to use it for,

Blink, blink. Breathe, breathe. Day in, day out.
It would be cool to utilize the Hopper animatronic for Halloween or something, villains related... Have it have some programmable dialogue for meet n' greet opportunities maybe.

The Tree of Life was literally and thematically built on this ride. Bugs were a very important and overlooked part of our ecosystems.
But the movie is no longer relevant and climate change is killing them off so guess this makes sense.

This works for me. Especially since the story it will tell us about biomes.

The tree was designed first. A lion King show was planned to go there first before switching to bugs from my understanding.
