DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

[BlakeW39]

I both agree and disagree. My problem still number one is that they can't generate park original ip anymore, which makes it look like they are so uncreative. Number two, is those screens....boring....and minimalism.....lame. Its all just corporate packages.

So agreed. Constant regurgitation of familiar IP is arguably the worst part of the modern film industry, but it's the ENTIRETY of the theme park industry. Even setting aside the issue of thematic cohesion. I am so tired of constant movie rides and movie lands.

New Dinosaur merch just dropped.

I need the pin. I've been looking for a Dinosaur pin on my visits in the last couple years to no success.

You can blame Iger, Universal and the worlds most infamous TERF for that.

Thing is - problem for Disney is - with the right mindset, with the right creative teams (key word creative) the Starcruiser could have been a spectacular success.
The expensive and hideous eyesore barges would have never been installed in the World Showcase Lagoon.
And, Tiana's would be one of the greatest rides in the park.

This! I believe if they made starcruiser affordable, accessible, and with better perks it may have had a chance. But no they just HAVE to cater to only wealthy people who barely even want to go anyway. Not the true fans who follow the parks and cherish the memories and grew up going the wrong way to Endor, and Finding the Dreamport, and being thrown in the Briar Patch and having gangsters hijack movie tours and shoot out red lights so they can drive to another movie.

Tiana's could have been AMAZING but they just had to make it a "attend the party" ride. like Frozen, and Ratatouille didn't already have that covered.

You can blame Iger, Universal and the worlds most infamous TERF for that.

UGHHH That stuck up terf!! She thinks she's sooo cool for being some kind of imaginary rebel against the might of...people wearing the clothes she doesn't want them to wear. but I digress quickly.

Disney has to stop trying to be universal. Disney used to be above universal because it had original ideas. That's how I ranked it. A theme park so good it could create rides that were like movie rides but didn't even need a movie cuz YOU were the star! not someone else! You! and that's what I loved as a kid. They are insulting the intelligence of kids by just thinking they will just clap and say look at the characters he he he for every single ride so that's all they have to do is show funny colors and familiar songs. That's only a hook, you need something to keep them grounded. when I was a kid because of Epcot and all these things i got interested in history and science and biology because I would hear "disney World ride words" in my classrooms (like Capillary (body wars), tom sawyer, and Big Bang (uoe) . That magic was better than any stupid sing along

Bruno is in the walls in the standby queue.

Ok I apologize for the late response, but if I can ask, will Bruno have any role in the story or will he just be an easter egg/cameo in the queue?

The construction plans' only explicit reference to Bruno is in the queue:

(The first number is the size of the area referenced. It's also how we know Antonio's room is huge.)

There's a scene in the ride with the whole family, so Bruno might also be there.

Bruno : Encanto
Facilier : Tiana's

Maybe?

Will they be animatronics or screens?

I’m late to the party, but for me, as a kid growing up watching Indy movies, we need more of him in the parks. The Stunt Show was never enough.

Other parks have coasters or the car ride. DAK is a great location for Indy’s adventures.

He fits into the treasure hunting side of things (we are throwing out paleontology for archeology), the action/adventure side (like Everest), as well as simply the location and incorporation of snakes, or any jungle creature you want.

It works. Just make it a great ride.

Indy ride is one of the best ever

Fair enough. I apologise that I allowed your profile picture featuring the Disney CEO with his eyes whited out and replaced with dollar signs and his head surrounded by money to influence my impression of your views on Disney's current projects.

I just want to say this might be the funniest comment I've ever read on this site.

That's an interesting question. I'm guessing AA because screen installations wouldn't require specially-shaped areas of 644 and 1,340 square feet in size.

FWIW the standby queue elements all look like very detailed three-dimensional sets, not screens.

Animatronics don’t need that much space either.

 

[lentesta]

True.

Looking at this in more detail, I think it might be one AA and one screen.

In the first Bruno scene, there's back-of-house (BOH) space directly behind the pizza-shaped wedge of a room.

In the second, I don't see BOH space nearby. I think it backs up against an exit path.

They should make Countdown to Extinction branded stuff too
