DAK: what would you like to see next?

[BigThunderMatt]

Dinosaur and the gift shop (decked out with so much variety) keep me coming back. I'd like to see them update Dinosaur though dramatically because when I went in the queue my last trip the wait was only 5 minutes... 5! For one of the few E tickets in that park- I couldn't believe what I was seeing! It was sad :/ Don't know how Disney could fix it

The problem with Dinosaur is that they took a ride system that had been INCREDIBLY well received thanks to its theme (Indy) and gave it a very generic theme that didn't work quite well with the ride system. Part of what makes Indy work is that there's SO MUCH to look at. The ride is incredibly detailed. Every time I ride it I see something new. Dinosaur is not like that. Despite the fact that you're supposed to be outdoors I doubt the jungle primeval was EVER that dark. It's so dark in some spots that it's fairly clear they decided to just leave the lights off instead of actually theme it.

And while it has some of the suspenseful stalls that Indy has, the best one, the climactic one where it seems you have no escape and somehow manage to duck underneath the danger at the last second is not there. Instead you find yourself approaching a carnotaurus head on (one you can barely see by the way) and then all of a sudden you're back. Sorry, no.

I went with Australia, the animals are like nothing you can see here. I'm sure they could do an E-ticket that revolves around a trip to the outback and such. Also they could add a really good restaurant.

I also think the arctic or antarctic would be really cool too, penguins and polar bears who doesn't want to see that!

I wouldn't mind Australia either.

Using the Nautilus for extra coolness.

That and or BK would convince me to actually go back to that park.

No, I don't want the Nautilus. (Savor that, I'll never say it again. :lol

I want a REAL Submarine Voyage, in the grand tradition of Animal Kingdom. Verne-ian Mysterious Island is completely out of place and remote from DAK's core traditions.

So you're saying you want a submarine made out of a hollowed out log ala that Futurama episode where Bender went to the island of outdated robots?

Dinos are generic? I find them more interesting than Indy, but maybe that's just me. :shrug:

I happen to think they did a great job themeing, just EE takes away a lot of Dinos spotlight

I like the idea of an Artic area with attractions. Penguins, seals etc.

:fork::brick:


How can you say that?! Verne's MI is VERY much a part of DAK...Adventures in Nature, with a SciFi twist. It could EASILY be put in there, and would really broaden things up.


In fact, I would think that a DL-esque sub would NOT fit. Too techy.

I found Dino to be the most annoying ride ever made. Throws you around way too much, is way too loud, too dark, tries to "scare" you rather than entertaining you. Usually there are things to see on Disney rides that you did not see on a previous ride. No desire to reride this. Feel I saw it all the first time. The stuff to look at before the ride was cool, but after waiting 40 minutes I was quite dissappointed. Between that cheesy roller coaster and the carnival and Dino this part of the park is pathetic.

BK for me!

I like the idea of an Arctic / Antarctic land but I wonder how far they could go with it given that WDW is in florida and very warm. It would take a lot of theming to get over that!

BK however has almost unlimited possibilities and could blend really well with existing themes. A path from EE could lead into it nicely...
