How about we go fancy and sprinkle cinnamon on a hot chocolate and sell the Un Poco Loco Cocoa for $7.99?
The ship seems so have sailed, I'm afraid.
Honestly how hard would it be to clone the mine cart ride from DLP, obviously its not the smoothest but Intamin has come a long way. Plus it would give AK one more attraction to its lineup, ever since losing Primeval Whirl, AK only has 1 coaster.
The Indiana Jones Mine Cart coaster is about 1 minute and 20 seconds from start to brake run... and honestly not that great...a longer coaster with some great show sets and animatronics would be fantastic though... I remember going on the DLP Mine cart ride...I was very excited to ride it and then realize that basically it is a small footprint amusement park ride with a little bit of theming here and there....and so short... Well, Oaken's Sliding Sleighs seems to be the winner at about 53 seconds....
if there's one thing I've learned over the years, it's never trust Disney concept art
I'm aware of the loop, but wouldn't be against Animal Kingdom being a little more on the thrill side for its lineup. Although I do see a glaring gap in the park's lineup with no family or kiddie coaster. It's either Everest or nothing. Long live the Excavator coaster I guess lol
Quoting myself to clarify - I don't want anyone to misread my post and think I was suggesting the DinoLand redo will retain any Dino-ness. As far as I know it won't. But what they are doing seems exciting enough for me to lay down my spade over losing the Dinos.
It's not so much about the actress herself but the fact that she's got a dated hair style and is wearing a very dated power-suit but presenting a supposedly futuristic product/service.
So someone's hairstyle and clothing in a pre-show for an attraction (that is still good but needs TLC) looks "dated"?
The AAs and puppets need work, not the pre-show. It still sets up the current ride perfectly.
Yeah, already covered that in my original post the other person was responding to, but thanks.
My point was, if the ride seems dated and in bad shape today, it's Disney's fault for not maintaining it and making the minor updates that might be needed to keep it looking fresh.
Honestly, I think that would be an upgrade from at least a couple of MK's existing fast-service offerings.
A parking lot with dino-themed flat rides and carnival games stands out like sore thumb.
Technically you could say all of the lands have human architecture that is falling apart, unable to withstand the forces of nature. And Dino-Rama kinda fits that. “Oh, you Americans think third-world nations are the only places with fallible architecture? Look at your own roadside attractions!”
You're talking about the existing parking lot DinoRama. What if Dinoland was refurbished to be a lush area, full of weird and wonderful prehistoric creatures and animals, trees, vegation and wildlife, as it would have been at that time. Very similar to Pandora actually. Ditching the silly backstory about fictitious characters setting up tourist traps, shops and restaurants (this concept is overdone at WDW), and concentrating on exhibits and attractions telling the story of dinosaurs and other such prehistoric creatures, what they did, what theie lives were like, what they fed on, what happened to them etc. If you insist on it being a specific geographic area, then this land could be made to be there, what the creatures were at that time that were native to that area, and there could then be more expositions on how that area evolved into what it is today. Explain again how Encanto would fit better in an animal-themed park? As some of us have been saying for some time, the theme didn't have to change. A land themed to prehistoric animals doesn't have to be based in a parking lot, but you seem to be saying that it can only be that.
