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

[MagicHappens1971]

Do when know when the renovations would be slated to take place?

Granted that nothing was even really announced, if they move forward with any bit of this plan, I can’t see they would break ground on it until at the earliest 2025.

no timing was indicated and the plans presented are just what is being "considered" so I would expect it anytime soon

I guess theoretically they could try to go quick with the retheme of Dino to Indy if they want something for 2025, but I'm not holding my breath

There is nothing to defend from even the hardcore Disney fans.

Take this from themeparkinsider - who i quote -

"And yes, that covers the big Dinoland USA replacement that D'Amaro and Walt Disney Imagineering Chief Creative Officer Bruce Vaughn talked about yesterday. The two used just about every weasel word imaginable to keep Disney from actually committing to or officially announcing any element of that project."

Now that's from someone who adores Disney.

What happened to the previous plans for Magic Kingdom extending beyond Thunder Mountain?

While I'm extremely excited and hopeful about the 'hints' the two dropped, this was mostly my take away too. Again, more hopeful than negative but they worked their hardest not to commit!

This makes sense. Thanks!

Please explain why posting someone who isn't a member of this forums bad takes as a video in the middle of a discussion is in any way productive or helpful to the discussion.

Well, videos can be great (even when you disagree) to add to discussion. This is part of the younger generation and the world we live in now. Even if I don’t agree with the video - it could provoke discussion and they can summarize thoughts the posters might not have been able to put into writing. Again - not a great video (I love the idea of Indy coming) but if that’s what the member wants to contribute, who cares?

I think the bottom line is that any major project is unlikely to happen (I.e. begin construction) until they square away Hulu, sell their legacy assets, and D+ stops hemorrhaging cash. The Zootopia show might go ahead, but I doubt much else will until 2025 at the earliest.

I think Josh is talking about what he wants to build at WDW knowing full well Iger isn’t going to let it happen.

Josh is a bigger snake oil salesman than Iger

I don't think Josh is making any major announcements without Iger being on board.

Iger has spent a long time talking up investments in the parks and is keen to bolster his and the company's standing with fans, so it's just as likely he wanted them to announce something at D23 even if it isn't quite ready to be confirmed.

 

[cjkeating]

Yes. But if you could build 2 of everything…

Paris?

 

[J4546]

yeah i could see something like this coming to paris as well. They got the spot for Indy, and they could deg use encanto as well in the area surrounding maybe even redo that group of restaraunts that are part of fronteir land

 

[Bocabear]

Paris is just a small coaster sadly... They could use the full Indy attraction in addition to what they already to flesh out the land a bit....

Because its a discussion forum for your posts, not a 'lets see what TikTok goober has to say'. This TikTok person is presumably not part of this forum or this thread, if they want to come in and add their thoughts, great. Otherwise, we don't need to see their dumb video. If you want to watch him, go on TikTok and watch him.

Aladdin has a parrot, a tiger, a monkey, elephants, llamas, bears, lions, birds that warble on key, camels, peacocks, and horses in it. Does that belong in Animal Kingdom too?

Yes.

JK, but Aladdin is underrepresented. The carpet ride doesn’t count. He needs an Adventure land dark ride.

But it’s a really good ride. And the queue is awesome.

 

[No Name]

Why does everyone want a clone of a terrible roller coaster in Raging Spirits? How about something new, and, um, good, instead?

Yeah and how about 10 more rides while they’re at it? People are just being realistic. When they can’t even get a budget approved for what they’ve already announced, there’s no shot of something else new happening. Raging Spirits is not at all a terrible coaster and should cost relatively little to copy here, which makes it a possible idea.

 

[DCLcruiser]

I’m just concerned that a new Indy ride might make Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar at Disney Springs too popular. It’s always been a hidden gem to us. Never a line (granted I go off season).

 

[MisterPenguin]

Paris?

Yes, he confirmed that's what he was referring to in another thread.

Well this kinda blew up..

My intention was to post that it's a joke (and I agree with the main points even tho its repeated x3 times), just like any other meme, video, etc. that gets posted here on the forums. Didn't mean for y'all to fight and bicker over it lol.

Oh, and I'm still in the #SaveDinosaur #SaveTheIguanodon camp. Stop it with the replacing already and build new things for more additional capacity. No reason we can't have a new Indy ride alongside what's already there. AK needs it the most (well they all do).

Well, there are those rumors of one coming to Morocco in Epcot and Imagineers were pacing the place

When were they seen doing that? I must have missed it! It's also possible they were looking at where to put a Zootopia attraction. Asking themselves which country would be the least controversial to replace.
