They should take the walls down for like two weeks, and just have the rubble and a big asteroid sitting there steaming away.

This sign always reads to me "you are an idiot and we know what's best now give us your money". Maybe I've just become too much a cynic ha.

I completely agree. I have a theory that if Fantastic 4 (and even Elio) do well that will give disney the reason (and the IP) to refresh MK's Tomorrowland and esp DL. Samething with Pandora, I have no doubt they'll do more with it across the world but I think they want to wait for more movies so each land of pandora across the world is different (unlike Starwars).
For Hollywood, I think they are waiting out the licensing deals for zootopia at Shanghai. I also know it's been rumored for a while disney has been trying to get the marvel rights back so maybe they are planning a bigger better avengers campus for AC.
EPCOT just needs to focus on fixing what's broken. They are doing it w test track and here's hoping SSE and Figment are next
Oh, no! They discovered a fossil at the construction site!! This requires an archeological dig and will hold up construction for years!!!

Could be wrong but I don't think they can use the Fantastic Four at WDW as they have a representation at Universal

Yeah but there are rumors about superhero island becoming DC if Universal guys Warner so that may not be the case in a few years. Plus disney/marvel got the rights back to hulk and namor and when that happened I remember rumors about disney in convo about getting shared marvel park rights but maybe that was just a false rumor I heard 2 years ago

Spoke to my source (who no longer works for the company but has connections and sometimes shares what they hear), and they told me that there are cool animatronics planned for the Indiana Jones attraction.
Which I really needed to hear. But it's still a tough pill for me to swallow, losing Dinosaur. But at least we've got cool animatronics coming. At the expense of cool animatronics leaving.

That's exciting! Especially as Indiana Jones hasn't really had too many animatronics otherwise, outside of Indy himself and the Snake (not that it needed them, as the ride's great). But then again, Dinosaur had quite a few cool animatronics too. I suspect the new version won't have as many as that, but it also may not need them, just so long as they don't pull a Tiana

I’m torn — on the one hand, I’m glad they’re trying to put some real effort in. On the other hand, we just saw how “cool animatronics” played out at TBA, so I’m a little nervous. Fingers crossed for a better outcome this time!

I think something like Indiana Jones would be the perfect setting for a few elaborate animatronics. It’s not a book report type ride or one centered on scenes full of people like Pirates. A super realistic snake, moving statue, Indy escaping, etc. could be perfect there.

From Joe Rohde's Instagram. Thought it was interesting because he said this wasn't something he'd typically seek out, so maybe there's some AK specific reason for touring this particular canyon? Or maybe I'm over-reading the tea leaves!
Did something today that I would not normally seek, out, but was great. We went on a tourboat trip up the Grijalva River in Sumidero canyon. A very very deep limestone canyon full of interesting formations. A certain kind of formation looks like a series of limestone umbrellas formed by seasonal waterfalls slowly depositing limestone in splash shapes for millennia. Caves with shrines to the Virgin of Guadeloupe. Cliffs with stalactites.
Huge crocodiles with GOT dragon-like scutes. Jillions of birds.
I'd come back in November when it's green and full of waterfalls! Like two Nepali Coastlines facing each other.

For sure! I’m honestly more interested in what they can do outside of traditional animatronics— practical effects, moving sets, lighting, projection mapping, and the like. I’m not up to date on the most cutting edge ride technology, but with the Dinosaur building being a nearly blank canvas inside, it would be cool if they took the opportunity to do something different. A good Indy animatronic, no matter how well done, will not be enough to carry this ride.

I hope it’s not elaborate animatronics like we got with Tiana.
We all know how that went.

Cool animatronics? Wonder what that could be....
Anyway, over and under that Dinosaur is open for a January 4th to 9th window??? Planning a vacation with three other friends and we need to say goodbye to our beloved Dinosaur before we go crazy at EU.
Definitely will be snakes and also a lot of hints leaning towards the Mayan winged serpent god which could make for a cool animatronic
As to your date - my guess is it will be open for your trip but close very shortly after - like the following week. I think they keep it open through the end of holiday season and marathon weekend and then close shortly after
