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

[rle4lunch]

I'm hopeful for Indy because of what @PREMiERdrum has said, but it's going to be hard to get past the fact that the track layout is the same. We all know there's an UP at the beginning and a DOWN at the end (honestly, I have almost every motion of the track memorized in between as well), so it's going to lack a bit of the spontaneity I look forward to in a NEW ride. That's another reason I dislike rethemes.

Aren't the DL Indy and AK Dino tracks exactly the same? Because if they are, they're 1000% different in enjoyability due to the faster pacing of Indy and soundtrack. And the kinetic effects. Dino is truly a crap boring ride in comparison.

There are subtle differences (some rooms have a bit more turning in IJA) but I doubt many would notice.

Well, I would, but most definitely won't.

"IP Carousel" Art for Tropical Americas at Disney's Animal Kingdom

The latest concept art of the Tropical Americas carousel attraction suggests there is a new plan in the works

mickeyviews.com

We've agreed not to trust Brayden, right?
Right?
I don't know what to believe but that does look like concept art in the article... could just be AI like we've been seeing from Shull

Oh Mr. Shull... lol BUT I do think Brayden's art is actual concept art and not AI; just more so preliminary concept art and not a final design. I trust what @PREMiERdrum said in that the carousel will be more in the style of Mexican folk art which fits much better than Brayden's Random IP Carousel Jamboree.

Insiders have already said they won't.

But they should put them somewhere!

I've always wished MK's Railroad had more to see. Could they build a primevil world for the train to pass past?

Could they? Sure. TRON would’ve been a logical time.

 

[Bocabear]

The Train could really use some show scenes...

Ah, the hidden plan...
When they shorten RoA, they will shroud the railroad on both sides with screens, that will make it seem you are time traveling from Frontier time to the FUTURE on a train.....

Hmm... might have seen this in a movie....

I've said it before, but if they're really insistent on not having dinos in any of the attractions they should spread the little dinosaur/fossil education stations that used to be in Dinoland throughout the park, and have them focus on dinosaurs/prehistoric animals actually from the respective continents in AK.

They don’t really want to continually remind guests of what they removed. Go to Islands for dinos.

It really sucks that the only Dino ride in Orlando is about have the worst maintained animatronics in Orlando.

Erm axshully it's in Lake Buena Vista

Especially in the long stretch between the Frontierland and the Fantasyland stations. That is so ripe for some show scenes to entertain riders.

He means Jurassic Park at Universal.

There were some things closest to Frontierland, but it feels like most of the ride is looking through the woods and drainage canal at the backstage road ...They should do more with this....they certainly could...and adding some show scenes would make the train a must-do attraction again....

While they're at it, they should definitely remove this.

There aren't any dragons either.

Ikran are basically dragon dinosaurs.

 

[DavidDL]

True. Not anymore.

Although I suppose if you were to squint real hard at a Banshee..

Either way, all the more reason to remove the dedication plaque. Dragons or no, they were at least honoring animals past, present and imaginary/mythical in some capacity for a time (lions, dinosaurs, yeti, etc.) If they really want to murder the mission statement of the park, they may as well go all out and pretend it never had one to begin with. Like @ToTBellHop said, they don't want you to know. Why remind Guests in any way? It's basically false advertisement on their end once once these changes take effect.

Just change it to Disney Nature Adventure Park…
