MMRR seems pretty reliable, too. It goes down but I don’t find it nearly as challenging as Rise to ride.

I wouldn't say it's that much better, haven't herd much about Rat though.
Mickey's Runaway Railway Broke Down More Than 300 Times At Hollywood Studios Last Year. It Wasn't Even The Ride That Was Down The Most
One ride at Disney's Hollywood Studios breaks down a lot more than any other.

I was wondering this too. I haven’t really seen Rat or MMRR really down an excessive amount. And RotR downtown isn’t necessarily due to issues from it being trackless.

A but OT, but...
The issue with trackless as implemented at WDW isn't as much downtime as it is show resets.
When vehicles lose connection, the ride is evac'd and the vehicles are brought back up. While it is completely possible to get the vehicles back online, verify location, and resume their course while loaded, the mouse's current operations procedures do not allow for this.
With MMRR and Rat, they happen often enough but don't lead to measurable downtime. For Rise, the show control gets all sorts of moody trying to restore effect synchronization, causing bigger headaches.

Actually, I think Encanto in AK would be a great candidate for a walkthrough attraction.

AK already has the gorillas walk. Hopefully not another walk coming.
That said, it would be neat to walk around in the casita. But ideally as part of the queue before entering Antonio’s door.

Scott Gustin liked this tweet and he is usually pretty well connected. I'd say it's almost definitely going to be an omnimover based on that.

After watching the POV of Tiana's Bayou Adventure, I have very little faith in the Indiana Jones retheme of DINOSAUR. Or the Encanto ride.

I knew someone would come over here and start some mess.
Dinosaur is no way comparable to Splash and not nearly as loved.
Encanto would be a completely brand new attraction with no ties to existing rides.

I loved Dinosaur 15x as much as I loved Splash. I will miss it WAY more than I miss Splash.
This is not a Splash thread.
Don't make go reporting people who want to turn every thread into Splash thread.

Clearly you’re in the minority for this particular ride.
Most people tend to say this is not comparable to Indiana Jones at Disneyland that uses the same system.
Also it leaves a lot to be desired for a lot of its riders. That said I’m always a fan of keeping attractions where we can but unfortunately Disney doesn’t feel the same.

Yeah, I don't understand the majority. It's great.

I think the budget for this project will be way higher than TBA because it’s considered part of the major investment into the parks.

I agree with you. I wish we knew last trip that it would be closing. We would have gone on one more ride.

Something tells me if we pulled up your last hundred posts, we probably would been able to predict this outcome for you.

I agree with the Dinosaur > Indiana Jones crowd… I personally find Dinsoaur more fun (the preshow is fun and captures a spirit of childlike wonder paired with mind blowing negligence). I can understand why big fans of the Indiana Jones franchise would give the edge to the latter, but even if you concede the IJ version is better, I still think an original dinosaur themed ride is better than a clone of a ride that already exists at two other parks. If it’s a different (animal or regional themed) version of an IJ ride I will be less disappointed— but it seems like a waste of the new ride development budget to change a ride theme when a completely new ride could be added elsewhere instead—especially in WDW that has plenty of land for expansion.
