The only thing I can confirm is the budget is around $3B. That's what I've heard.
I've heard Star Wars would be bigger than that, but those specifics haven't gotten out yet...

Having finally ridden IJA at Disneyland earlier this year I would be absolutely ecstatic if an updated version was announced for DHS. Sadly that's the part I could see the most as being wishful thinking

Really, the way that Disney likes to clone rides, you think that is wishful thinking?Having finally ridden IJA at Disneyland earlier this year I would be absolutely ecstatic if an updated version was announced for DHS. Sadly that's the part I could see the most as being wishful thinking

I don't care that it is a cloned ride, Indiana Jones is a phenomenal attraction that deserves to at DHS. It would be awesome. And with the rumored fast tracking of the new film to be released in 2018, it would be a perfect time to open it. It fits in with the timeline of the park anyway.

I highly doubt it'd be an exact clone even if this is true - remember, Dinosaur at DAK has basically the same track layout.

Everyone is always saying they shouldn't build Radiator Springs Racers in DHS because WDW already has Test Track, yet somehow building the Indiana Jones Adventure ride is OK? Isn't it the exact same ride as CTX/Dinosaur in AK, just with different theming? At least RSR is a completely different experience then TestTrack, even if it uses the same cars...

Also that Journey into Imagination addendum seems to be the thing that is the most unfounded. There has only been fan speculation. And everyone who is even remotely an insider has stated that there hasn't been any true talk of that.

$3B makes me feel much better than 2B (duh)- but mainly because it allows some to be spread around for the MK 50th- which is what I feared would rob DHS of what it needs.
Yowzah- that's a lot of dough. Now I know why Martin's jaw was on the floor.

I think that most people who would ride DINOSAUR and then ride IJA wouldn't even be able to tell they have the same ride layout or even use the same technologies beyond the similarities of the ride vehicles. IJA is spectacular, DINOSAUR is disappointing especially with all the missing or broken affects and prolonged time spent in almost total darkness.
I think the argument of not having similar ride technology at the same resort is silly, as long as the rides are fun and have enough differences to make them unique, who cares if they share architecture. RSR/Test Track, DINOSAUR/IJA, Omnimovers, etc etc.. I say bring it all.

I think both RSR and IJA can be added without feeling like Test Track or Dinosaur.

If $3B brings a few clones to add more for the buck, I say bring it on as the majority of folks won't know since they'll just be happy to have something to do for a change. Some new, some cloned, some large & expensive, some small and inexpensive (kids rides). Oh yes, let's not forget dining options. That park needs those, and I don't mean re-theming 1 into the Cantina, I mean adding a few more! If that figure is correct, we should see some very nice work done with ample new attractions.
The more they close, the more they need and as of late, they just keep shuttering. Plus being a "studio" theme now, it's loaded with beige studio like buildings. If a lot of the buildings go (thinking animation and back lot CM functions), they need something to fill the void. I'm hoping they take the FLE & DS approach with break areas of trees & water. That would completely change the feel.

I don't think the PIXAR stuff will be before the PIXAR Place arch. So I'm most curious about what will be happening around the former Animation Courtyard.

They could always move the arch....

It's a far better suited location than MK or AK, imho.

Wouldn't be the first arch to move in an Orlando theme park.

Let's get some Roger Rabbit Car Toon Spin in this park! Seems like a pretty good location to me!
