DAK “Zootopia” is being created for the Tree of Life theater

[Agent H]

I'd say okay example, as the ride could have been terrible, and instead it is just mediocre and a downgrade.

I honestly think it’s worst sin is ruining the skyline. the inside at least looks better online than that version of tower of terror

Mission Breakout currently sits at a 4.5/5 on touring plans. Can you give us any insight on how this compares to the DCA TOT ratings?

(Yes the zootopia thread has devolved into ToT vs GotG:MB debate)

DHS ToT gets a 4.6, but I don't think it's fair to use that

I was just in Paris and loved the enhancements for that version of the tower. it was pretty close to perfect.

Wow, just looking back a little bit I would put Turning Red over Finding Dory, Luca, Soul, Lightyear. Looking back further I would put it above Toy Story 4, Cars 2, Cars 3, and The Good Dinosaur.

Hard disagree on Soul, Luca (to a lesser extent), and Cars 3, but yeah Turning Red is good. IMO Soul is Pixar's most emotionally-impactful film they've done yet. It's beautiful, unique, and I love it

The inside looks terrible, specifically the boiler room. It's just a bunch of junk in a boiler room with a giant boiler obscured by a chain link fence. Just like they would have in a futuristic space exhibit.

As for popularity, I know the rides' wait times are about the same as what they were with TOT, even with higher attendance numbers at DCA. I only go on it when the wait is 30 minutes or less. DCA's TOT, I used to wait 75 minutes without issue. a great attraction turned into a messy okay attraction. That's life giving you lemons and turning it into homemade Sprite.

For me, the only Disney-Quality E-Ticket left at DCA is Radiator Springs Racers. I rarely hop over there for anything more than 2-3 hours max.

Super hot take but cars 2 is my favorite cars movie.

If they were to put a zootopia land based on the movie into AK, it would stick out just as bad as C&H's did.

Theming aside, this is my main issue. Pandora stylistically *fits* AK’s vibe by still being lush and natural looking. A Zootopia city would not have.

Zootopia would have stuck out?

So 2ish weeks left to go before the closure.

Any bets on the walls not going up as one of our Greystoke loving posters claimed?

I will say it again if it doesn’t close I’ll eat my fedora.

Yes? Neither of those are egregious or stick out too badly in the context of the park (Rafiki's Planet Watch is completely separate from the rest of the park anyways) -- certainly not compared to something like this:

Not to mention that it doesn't exactly look good either.

I disagree. I think the Zootopia land in Shanghai looks great. it just doesn’t belong in animal kingdom.

It's colorful but not good. The street decor is fine but the building facades are terrible!

 

[Brer Panther]

Animals aren't the focus of the film... the story really isn't about animals but 1 group of humans

Oh look. The same reason why Encanto doesn't fit in Animal Kingdom.

Sing is an even better example (if only it were a Disney IP). Sing would fit in Animal Kingdom about as well as Zootopia; they're very similar.

Zootopia at least has the "going savage" thing to allow some characters to act like animals. Sing doesn't even have that.

Hard disagree on Luca (to a lesser extent), and Cars 3

I liked Luca and Cars 3 too. I also liked Incredibles 2, Lightyear, and Elemental. Make of that what you will.

 

[Agent H]

EDIT: I like using Robin Hood as an example, but Sing is an even better example (if only it were a Disney IP). Sing would fit in Animal Kingdom about as well as Zootopia; they're very similar.

NO JUST NO.

Agree to disagree?

At least encanto works visually. It’s all about compromise. If I had my way they would revitalize Dino land but they want ip and I want a land that somewhat fits in animal kingdom. that’s what tropical Americas is. A compromise.

Who knows... Maybe if we're lucky, in time the land will get a Phase 2 to include animals. And a Phase 3 which could see Nemo replaced with an Emperor's New Groove show. :Fingerscrossed:

Sadly I feel like if they were going to include animals they would do it while the land was being initially built so it would factor into the overhead cost as for the emperors new grove show that would be a cool idea except that movie isn’t a musical.
