Terrible, terrible idea. AK is the last original park untouched by the cheap out of Disney IP. Starting with a reimagined Dinoland as the best option, there are many good choices for a fresh Imagineering visualization of the property. Using it for Marvel IP is the worst. By maintaining the original theming of AK, it provides a destination for those who appreciate the original Disney concept. Wild idea… Bring back the Beastly Kingdom?
Wakanda as presented in the MCU isn’t about environmentalism, conservation, or animals. Its been presented more as technological, cultural, and pride contexts, so it currently fits in Epcot best. That being said, Wakanda probably can be adopted to support AK’s message, but I fear we might just get Pandora 2.0 if they went that route.
I think a well done prehistoric land with dinosaurs would trump wakanda. Yes marvel is super popular (im one of the fan boys), but dinosaurs create awe in ages 1-100 male female, and have for at least 50 years and will continue (much larger demographic). The issue is the cost. If they used real disney imagineering and didnt worry about cost they could build the most amazing life sized animatronic dinosaurs ever seen, they could be in a marsh eating grasses maybe a boat ride taking you around them (you can smell them, see them breath) add in edutainment and a few rides and it would be earth shattering. The worst part though is everyone would say they were copying universal and jurassic park.. especially universals own social media.
It was done on an Unauhorized Field Trip....Basically he's Disney's version of Nedry and honestly you should watch the entire security video loop at the end in the gift shop which is about 5 or so extra minutes realizing how his plan backfired and got an Iguanadon to break free from the lab...
Anecdotal evidence only, but I was in Chicago this weekend.
Isn't Seeker supposedly controlling said Time Rover we're riding in? And I thought the alerts were just alerting us and not auto navigating but then there's the part where he's yelling right left..etc..It's hard to tell..
But didn’t the Dinosaur movie come a few years after the attraction? (like Haunted Mansion, Jungle Cruise, Country Bears, Tower of Terror, and Future World were all things in the park before there were movies)
It was always intended as a tie-in to the movie. They just changed the name and a few things to help reinforce that idea. The movie had been shelved for years and the ride being developed helped push the film into production.
i wouldnt want that idea wasted on this small plot of land... if they were going to do it id want a much bigger area
Where the heck were you? They were out at the Studios in the 90's!
