We're in an airport to ride a hang glider that traverses hundreds or thousands of miles.
None of it makes sense.

I know it's a very unpopular opinion but I do think they did themselves a disservice by calling it Animal Kingdom as anything they add that doesn't fit that exactly gets bashed.
If it was "Disney Adventure Kingdom" (realizing they wouldn't be naming too close to Islands of Adventure) or something similar, but mostly animal based (like having a tagline of some kind) it would have given them more leeway.

That's a different argument. I wasn't talking about the conceit of the ride itself making any sense -- just that a ride about flying around world locations makes more sense in EPCOT than a ride that takes place entirely in California.
Although in the Land location, it's a bit strange that it focuses so much on manmade landmarks and not just different natural environments.

Just go the full way and call all four parks “Magic Kingdom North, South, East, and West” and then you won’t have to be bothered by all of this needlessly limiting “theming”.

I believe Epcot has two theatres - why not play one in either screen ?
I'm guessing they don't want the operational complexity of handling different queues etc. EPCOT has three screens for Soarin' since the 2016 upgrade

Interesting some of the things that are not that far away which were still not mentioned today.
Such as? Are you speaking of unannounced projects or did I miss something?
Unannounced projects.
We need a third track then. How about:I'm guessing they don't want the operational complexity of handling different queues etc. EPCOT has three screens for Soarin' since the 2016 upgrade
Soarin' Over Moana, Encanto, and Frozen

Killing the island would hurt capacity? Don't the rafts have an hourly cap of like 300? Certainly whatever they add beyond thunder would have significantly more interest and likely capacity than Tom sawyer island
Huh? With both rafts operating as intended it is well over a thousand.

What are the unannounced projects? Can someone announce them, please?!
I’m hoping for the island of Barbados at CBR to receive a new paint scheme so it is not identical to Trinidad! C’mon Disney!!

I am certain things would have been said by now if they could have been. But ... if something's actually close to completion and we're not just talking about shovels going in the ground, perhaps it's in reference to entertainment? I think it's been suggested quite a few times that new parades and whatnot are on the horizon.
