Primeval whirl was 900 per hourAlso you are not going to tell me that Primeval Whirl had the same capacity as this huge looking Encanto Dark Ride or the carousel.
It will be interesting how zootopia does in comparison. It’s a newer IP and with a sequel coming out it’s certainly more fresh but it’s still a “3d show in the tree” - Will guests see it as something new?Bugs rarely fills shows anymore
They want to advertise new attractions and new IP without increasing the operations expenses. The problem is, that doesn’t grow capacity for the park so it doesn’t solve some pretty big issues.I think they just want to focus right now in making the current stuff the best version it can be then working on expanding the parks.
An UP show could work well there if Disney wanted to invest into extending Tropical Americas. Or maybe we get a bit of a wild card with a Emperors New Groove show. That would make some of the diehards pretty happy.Have a feeling 2026 could see a Nemo show replacement? Otherwise there will be about two years of dinoland closing with nothing new to draw visitors to DAK (aside from ZOOTOPIA next winter.)
Most of Magic Kingdom's lands would disagree I think. Plus World Discovery and Sunset Boulevard.
Toy Story Land has two e tickets. Granted one of them was already there but this is kind of the same situation. Indy is already there in the form of dinosaur.Lol I know they DID make lands with more than one headliner. But they DON'T currently. Maybe this will be the sole outlier to that trend. I just wouldn't bet on it.

Is it? Based on the model I don't think the show building actually takes up that much space when you try and work out the scale on Google Maps?I'm guessing that Encanto is an E ticket, that show building is massive.
Nemo has always exists in it's only place in-between Asia and Dinoland (even though it appears on the map legend as Dinoland) so i don't see any reason why it would change? It was only recently updated after COVID.Has there been any word on the Nemo show? Surely it doesn't fit in Tropical Americas, and Up could make for a really great show. They already have the Kevin costume.
I would temper your expectations... Indy is the lands E-ticket. This will be a family friendly C/D.I suspect the Encanto attraction will be an E ticket dark ride a notch or two below Rise level of show.
A re-skin of Dinosaur doesn’t seem like a capital E ticket. I think we should be able to expect Encanto to be E-worthy.I'd be pretty surprised if Encanto ended up being an E-ticket. Not saying it won't be, but Disney is definitely not known for building theme park lands with two E-ticket attractions.
I would assume it's a D-ticket just based on Disney's track record.
Insiders have been saying that the ride vehicle mechanic has been changed from plans just a few months ago from a boat ride to maybe an omni or a trackless. And so, they're unsure what Disney is doing.To return to a topic that we started discussing but faded away...
What are insiders' thoughts on the scale of the Encanto attraction?
it’s still a “3d show in the tree” - Will guests see it as something new?
The other iterations of Indy with this ride system are all pretty great...and now with a completely new story to tell...newer technology to work with as far visuals... I am hoping they do something amazing with it and keep the Tiana's team far away from the project!A re-skin of Dinosaur doesn’t seem like a capital E ticket. I think we should be able to expect Encanto to be E-worthy.
Each! Unless Disney was operating them at half capacity, the attraction as a whole would have had a capacity of 1,800 per hour?Primeval whirl was 900 per hour
It's definitely still popular. Whether you have seen the movie or not, you can still easily understand the show. To me, it isn't broken, why fix it?I’ve never seen a show that wasn’t packed, which I admit is completely anecdotal. Maybe it’s always crowded during the hottest hours of the day![]()
That ending with the physical effect… *shiver*It's definitely still popular. Whether you have seen the movie or not, you can still easily understand the show. To me, it isn't broken, why fix it?
The things that scare young children i.e. loud noises, effects, darkness, will likely still exist in the new one, anyway.
The Chester and Hester signs actually look more authentic now hahaDinoland has officially fallen into the "screw you and your full priced ticket; we're removing it so we don't care" stage. Some of the signs look atrocious and at least two are visibly falling apart.
Large images under a spoiler tag so you can see how bad they look:
Here's what they're SUPPOSED to look like:
I know my phone camera isn't the best quality, but I hope the point gets across, the difference is very visible in person. Note that the cart has lost all of its flying shopping dinos. If you told me the current images were from some abandoned, actual Route 66 roadside attraction I would believe you.
The pin truck sign has been broken for weeks, the entrance sign is crumbling and Cementosaurus has a black crack on his neck;
Why does everything need to end on a sad note, limping to the finish line? Rama's already lost half of the stuff it used to have (the photo booth seems to be broken, too) and it relies heavily on that signage, that's most of its' theming! And we're not talking about complex animatronics here, most of this is fixed with paint.
Avengers Campus. I would consider Mission Breakout an E Ticket.Lol I know they DID make lands with more than one headliner. But they DON'T currently. Maybe this will be the sole outlier to that trend. I just wouldn't bet on it.
