Due to the rumors of Dinoland being replaced whats the best idea? Personally I really like the Zootopia idea. Ice Age isn't that bad honestly. It could make a great land with water rides.

I’d prefer Indy but I feel it would be easier for them to justify zootopia...but let’s face it, if that gets approved they will probably up-end the entire park minus pandora and male tundra town, and jungle town, etc.

Beastly Kingdom obviously. Zootopia is trash.
I'm sensing a pattern. What do they call that? Insanity. lol

First place nightmare before christmas. My personal favorite, has such a big hype and no where to be found. Then ice age for second wouldn't be bad

How about a better Dinosaur land? One not based on IP, and with heavy, high quality theming.
That works too.

If the rumors are true, which is questionable, the most likely to go there would be Indiana Jones as a clone or near clone to the one in Disneyland. I think it is exactly the same layout and the same ride vehicles. However, I'm a little pressed to figure out how Indiana Jones would actually fit in Animal Kingdom's theme. Probably just as good as Pandora. They could just change and enhance Dinosaur. As @DoubleJ21 said.

None of the above (no IP addition, please).
They should either re-do Dinoland to make it something quality that still focuses on dinosaurs rather than a cheap carnival, or they should turn it into the Amazon or some other South American area. I suppose if they did the latter, they could tie Indiana Jones in since he's there in Raiders of the Lost Ark, but it shouldn't need an IP tie-in.
Another IP option would be Finding Nemo (could build an actually good ride rather than the junk they have at EPCOT) and making the area all about aquatic creatures, but that seems redundant with the Living Seas even if they dumped Nemo from that pavilion.
Zootopia, Ice Age, Tarzan, and Black Panther should stay far away from Animal Kingdom.

I have really mixed feelings here. Indy fits best from an aesthetic standpoint. Most of the park shares the same ancient ruin aesthetic Indiana Jones is known for, albeit with different styles of regional architecture in correspondence to different geographical locales. On the other hand however, Indy doesn’t fit the message of the park. Like- at all. It’s completely unrelated apart from the overall style.
@The Real Buzz Lightyear Can you change the poll to show how forum members voted?
That way, I can see who needs to be added to my ignore list. (KIDDING)
Indy? Zootopia? Here we go again...

South America or Australia. I'm holding out hope that they strengthen the animal theme of Animal Kingdom. Especially since Epcot and Hollywood studios are now just essentially IP dumping grounds.
Third option- a land that highlights the evolution of dinosaurs into birds.

A dinosaur presence should NEVER leave Animal Kingdom. It's kind of a critical part of its theming.
Also, the ORIGINAL concept for Dinoland would have/would still be a fantastic and very popular idea. Dinosaur the ride, as it is, is moderately popular. Which is good. The Excavator would be a fantastic coaster, making a great E-Ticket attraction the same way Thunder Mountain does for Frontierland IP-Less.

Just get rid of Dino-Rama's nonsensical carnival for something that works with the fossil dig site or roadside Americana themes. Excavator, a hokey dinosaur park ride that actually gets that "prehistory folkart forest" vibe, time travel stowaway species running amok in a Route 66 town like a Ray Troll painting...
Alternatively, if you want to bail from Dinosaur Americana, do a "Adventurer Base Camp in The Lost World" theme and tie it into SEA. And while I've argued the point that Indiana Jones could make sense in that context based on his historical origins and precedent in supplementary material for dinosaur shenanigans, we don't really need him and I feel like a general audience might see a connection as forced anyways.

Keep the dinosaurs, just build a more impressive ride (in place of Primeval Whirl, of course). Perhaps the excavator coaster?
