Does a lion king land sound cool for Epcot or better off at animal kingdom?

I've been saying this, but for some reason everyone and their mother wants a ride of every movie that's ever made.

Agreed. And as Rohde has said before, it's rarely about converting a 2 hour movie into a ride. I think many are fixated on that idea, which is okay, but I think its too predictable.

According to IAATO (International Association of Antarctic Tour Operators) Antarctic tourism started in the late 60s, but we've been sending scientific expeditions since way before then.

I remember the controversial year when they used palm trees and swimming pools in their advertising. Bookings went through the roof and so did post trip complaints.

Not neccessarily.
People want to go to Disney because its full of better rides, shows and foods than your ordinary amusement park. They go to Disney also bec ause of the Disney effects they cant get anyplace else. They want a Disney experience but they dont care how its thematically put together, wether things fit as we fans think they should, or what Walt envisioned. They get out of it enough to enjoy their vacation and their time at WDW isnt affewcted by minor details like does Lion King belong here or there.

You’re right to a degree. There is a line where almost everyone would balk though. People don’t want a history of the IRS exhibit in Fantasyland.

After over 20 years they finally got rid of Lion King in Epcot.

We don't need it to come back in some other part of the park.

Sure, an IRS exhibits going to stand out of place as would anything non Disney. We are talking about a Disney themed attraction. But those who are looking for HP in MK, call all WDW MK, dont know Iger from Eisner, certainly arent the type of Disney fans who think about whats the thematically correct placement of LK and how EP should be constructed.

I’m still over here waiting for a Jungle Book log ride to come to AK. Something like that to go alongside Kali would be incredible in my opinion. Maybe even add a Zootopia or Wakanda expansion at some point (even if it’s at the expense of Rafiki’s Planet Watch....I know..sue me). I still feel that AK has the most potential for expansion and improvements without having to replace anything timeless or that would get people extremely upset.
