So I’m guessing that Encanto here would mean no Encanto at MK? Also, they wouldn’t build a TC if it wasn’t a big project?
goodbye Kali River Rapids. Hello Madrigal’s River Adventure.I could be wrong about indoor and dark.
I guess it would be wishful thinking that they could build the Encanto ride while leaving Dino running. Then redo Dino once Encanto is done.
DAK is already lacking in attractions, taking out an entire land would make for a couple of tough years.
Encanto's likely been out of the MK plans for a while, and that's kind of a good thing. I just hope that means they're doubling down on a more suitable southwestern-Mexican transitional area that complements Thunder Mountain rather than some of the frankly horrifying options that have been suggested as neighbors to Villainland.So I’m guessing that Encanto here would mean no Encanto at MK?

Donkey Rides?
That or Luisa's donkeycorns.The concept art seemed to suggest a carousel replacing the TS spinner (why not have two flat rides; the park could use it). Having an animal carousel where you are riding animal friends of Antonio from Encanto makes sense.
I can’t wait to read all of the presumptive anger on what they will be building and the consequential anger when the product is built but not up to the basement dweller’s expectations.
Nah, it’s happeningThis is not construction staging, it appears to be mostly WDI offices. With lots and lots of parking.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this turns out to be something else.
I would love to see them add more in addition to this, but PW is a sunk cost at this point. A replacement for PW adds just as much capacity relative to where we are today as a (comparable) new addition somewhere else would.I will presumptively say this... replacing Dinoland USA with "Tropical Americas" is not what the park needs. Yes, adding a ride to replace PW's footprint is good. But DAK really needs additions not replacements. They should build an entirely new land or add rides to multiple existing lands first before they shut down Dinoland USA.
DAK needs additional capacity. It's frustrating that we are likely only getting replacements for rides that already exist (or have existed in the recent past with PW).
I actually think DHS has the bigger need than DAK, but those are definitely the two parks that need new stuff the most. Issue is that both need additional capacity, not replacement.I’m glad they are turning their attention first to AK. I’m optimistic they will get it right, like they did with Pandora.

Never passed the smell test for me. MK will need many months of site prep before construction can begin. DAK is ready to start immediately.it's confusing the different things we are hearing. It wasn't all that long ago that the hot rumor was that DAK was now lower on the list and MK and DHS were going to get attention first.
Sure. I guess my issue/thought/concern about that is that they are more likely to build the Encanto attraction in the same timeframe as a whole Dinoland redo where as if they built (say) a Lion King ride in Africa, they could expedite that to get open and add that capacity as quickly as possible. The park is going to be annoying if/when they close TS and Dinosaur. As though the lines in Pandora aren't already bad enough.....
