Dinolands Days Are Numbered

[Pepper's Ghost]

My insider has an impressive reputation of accuracy. Almost every rumor they have leaked to me over the past decade either has or hasn't become a reality, which makes their record nearly one-hundred percent.

That is a very impressive record now that you mention it.

You're the 2nd new person to reference this Olivia chick. Who is she and why is she so important?

She's not important...Unless you like Disney channel stars...

 

[TiggerDad]

The days are numbered, but it's a big number. Too big.

Please take this as a rumor and only a rumor. I am hearing from a very credible source within the company that Dinoland is on the way out the door. To protect the person who has shared this information I will not give any info to who they are or what resort route they drive. But their information is usually credible at times or if not misheard. Dinoland is apparently going bye bye and this is long overdue. There has been talk of this for years but now the rumor has resurfaced. This does not include the classic e ticket popular attraction Dinosaur which is loved by many. This mostly includes the awful Chester and Hesters location of rides and carnival games. From what I am hearing Dinosaur the ride is safe from any changes planned to the area. Again please take as only a rumor for now until more develops.
As to what will be replacing Chester and Hesters is not clear. The obvious guess would be the rumored family wooden coaster planned for the early days of the park themed to a boneyard excavation, but ultimately scrapped. Another rumor very likely is the musical styling of pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo. Unless you have been living under a rock this past year, you have heard of Olivia Rodrigo and how she quickly rose in the charts to become an icon for Disney discussion memes. When Olivia was only eight years of age, she looked a lion right in the face and tamed it with her stare of intimidation. When she first learned to ride a bicycle, the earth shook with such fear of her skill that the many mountain chains across the continents were formed. She once swallowed a whale whole and spat it back out into the Pacific with one swift gesture. Chuck Norris says Yes Mam and bows on one knee when she asks him a question. The cosmos abide to her will. This new Olivia Rodrigoland will put Disney on the map like civilizations have never seen.
So do you think it is time to say farewell FINALLY after all these years to the lackluster underwhelming land that is Chester and Hesters? It has been a constant joke of how not to do imagineering of powerful, immersive lands. It is a carnival on a parking lot, nothing more. No theme. No soul.
Now we wait and hope.

Please don't ask.

It means nothing If it’s not 117%

I forgot that it's almost Summer....

 

[marni1971]

So regurgitate already posted rumours and add a bit of advertising ?

 

[Tom Morrow]

I have it on good authority that Disney is looking into changing Rise of the Resistance to an Olivia Rodrigo ride.

 

[Sharon&Susan]

Uh oh...

 

[PaulZ]

I have it on good authority there is rumor circulating a retheme is occurring but will keep the name Dinoland. It will be rethemed to the Flinstones icon and will feature an Olivia Rodrigo in Wilma clothing spinner playing nothing but her hits…whatever they are.

 

[NickMaio]

wait so is there any credence to dinoland leaving soon or was this all a lie?

This is the most ridiculous and unsubstantiated post of the year.
Can't believe I clicked on it.......
What is the name of the green character in Ralph breaks the internet?...........

 

[mergatroid]

It's an attempt at humour obviously, or is it just me?

 

[WondersOfLife]

Watch the joke be on us and it actually happen tho. lol.

 

[Tony the Tigger]

I heard the same thing, except the wooden coaster begins where you are just getting your drivers license. It takes you through your ex-boyfriend’s neighborhood, where you see him with his animatronic blonde bimbo, triggering your insecurities. Red lights, stop signs. Then you just keep going around and around past his street.

Sure, it's fun until someone puts out an eye. That said, for what it was worth, you know what would be an absolutely tremendous thing to do with that whole Dino area? They have the basically same show building to clone Indiana Jones instead of Dino's. Then they could have a complete Indiana Jones land. I have ridden Dino for a number of times and Disneyland's Indiana Jones ride once, but it was so much more fun then the bump you around for nothing Dinosaur thing. They have the building, they have the ride vehicles and I think that the track layout is even close to the same, maybe @marni1971 can verify that. Heck, they could even move the altered Indy show from DHS to DAK replacing the entire "roadside carnival fiasco. What does that have to do with animals you ask? Well.... what does Everest have to do with actual animals or what does Frozen have to do with Norway or what does Guardians of the Galaxy have to do with any reality based Future World. From my limited knowledge I'm not even sure that it is our Galaxy.?.?.? The other plus is that they could shut down Dino land for years and almost no one would notice.

On the plus side as well, that would open up more space in DHS for added Star Wars adventures. It appears that there are no other topic on the whole planet other the Star Wars, so we might as well quit and completely surrender to that theme for infinity and beyond.

So which old insider is this? We’ve seen this fish before...an ocean of them

here’s who doesn’t know:
1. Anyone in orlando
2. Anyone in “management” without an office in the “dwarfness of solitude” in Burbank
3. Any “project” person in WDI...they mean well...but management gives them busy work to keep them somewhat engaged.

Differences in the EMV ride layouts are negligible.

Maybe I have been living under a rock but I'm still trying to figure out who this Olivia chick is.....

Are you a 13 year old girl? No? Then you probably would not know her. LOL She sounds like something that my daughter would have listened to when she was 13 and then begged me for tickets. (Yes, I sat through an entire Jonas Brothers concert once for her. )

This was not meant to sound mean. LOL I am re-reading this and it sounds like I am attacking you but I am not.

Good, in that case I give it the green light. Imagineers... got on it!
