News 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

[Smiley/OCD]

I'd rather an original ride (or let's face it, a different IP) over another Indiana Jones, a ride I can ride in Tokyo DisneySea and Disneyland CA.

Not everyone transverses the world like you do…

Indy was one of my favorite rides from dl and vastly superior to dinosaur even though it's basically the same ride. As long as they do a different storyline I think it's a great change.

 

[Smiley/OCD]

Was that confirmed anywhere?

Just going on “informed insiders” here…

Never really understood the hatred towards WDW receiving duplicates of things... 99.9% of those that visit WDW won't ever travel outside the US to visit another Disney park. More than fine with receiving similar attractions found elsewhere.

I'm in the same boat (but I am hoping to change that a little in the coming years). But I also don't want a bunch of clones being added to every park. Make each destination with it's own special touches and rides instead of making things homogeneous.

On one hand I love Dinosaur and don't wish to see it go, but on the other hand I love Indiana Jones and really want a Indy ride lik there is on the west coast, but on the other hand dinosaurs are so cool and need to be in the park about animals, but on the other had this "South America" land could also lead to Emperors' New Groove representation, but on yet another hand the uniqueness of the original Dinoland U.S.A. elements will be lost. I'm so torn on this and all out of hands.

Oh well, at least its not Zootopia!

Understandable, but most guests aren’t traveling the world to see a unique attraction…tweak it a little bit? Perhaps, but don’t dismiss a duplicate here in the states.

 

[Brer Oswald]

That’s due to the designer, not the ride system.

Fair enough. I guess I should clarify that I don't want to see another trackless ride out of this company. They have proved enough times (stateside at least) that they can't get it right. Or they don't want to.

Skull Island at Universal has very minor elevation changes and trackless... so definitely possible. But not with the ROTR/MMRR vehicles.

I may be wrong but I think Skull Island is guide wire not LPS.

I may be wrong but I think Skull Island is guide wire not LPS.

Universal wasted a huge pile of money on true trackless. Given its linear ride path it absolutely should have been guide wire. Same with Fast & Furious: Supercharged.

It’s neither, there’s a driver.

 

[lazyboy97o]

It’s neither, there’s a driver.

The driver is an animatronic.

They should travel to see the superior castle parks, like TDL and DLP. And by many accounts, it's actually cheaper to visit those parks than spending a week at WDW.

Except the duplicates make up a decent chunk of what most of the parks in that resort get now, with few exceptions (and even then a couple of those exceptions have been cloned anyway)...bring on the uniquity

Magic Kingdom is an especially noteworthy case as most of its unique attractions - namely Carousel of Progress, Laugh Floor, Enchanted Tales, and Hall of Presidents - are shows, with only two supplementary rides (the Barnstormer and the PeopleMover) among that roster. In comparison, the other five castle parks have at least two major rides exclusive to them; if you ask me, MK needs one to call its own...
And BTW, what you said could very easily apply to locals to the other five resorts, too

Interesting to see how there’s way more information about Indiana Jones than anything for an Encanto attraction (I still don’t buy that show rumor.) It makes me wonder if the Encanto attraction is going to be happening at all

 

[neo999955]

I can’t see any reason for them to not give us a dinosaur focused original Indy ride. It would, of course, not be the same as dinosaur - but it would keep a dinosaur presence in the park and check several boxes.

That’s what I’m hoping for regarding that.

I also hope the Encanto ride is an e-ticket.

We can speculate on Indy because it already exists. Encanto is new territory and we have no idea what they have planned.

The only thing I wouldn’t mind being cancelled is Zootopia in the tree. Put the whole land at DHS or something instead.

No way! Next you’ll say the same about the giant gorilla

 

[Gusey]

Both James Cameron and Joe Rohde are going to be at D23 at the Disney Legends ceremony, chance they could appear at the Disney Experiences Panel too??

It’s not a direct clone of DLs. Animal-related lore.
