Was really expecting for them to be sticking with the Moana idea. I guess the lone person at WDI with half a brain cell told them that it wouldn’t make sense with JoW at EPCOT.

Dinosaur is MUCH better than River Adventure. Weird to see Disney give Universal the lead here. Now if we had the fantastic Universal Beijing Jurassic World ride…that would be a different story.Goodbye Dinosaurs. You’re extinct in real life and now also at Walt Disney World. One of the reasons I loved this place as a kid.
Now if only Universal would fix up the River Adventure
or they fired the guy with the moana fetish out of the company, mightve been Chapek?Was really expecting for them to be sticking with the Moana idea. I guess the lone person at WDI with a half a brain cell told them that it wouldn’t make sense with JoW at EPCOT.
We are in complete agreement here. Aside from the IP discussion, the culinary aspects alone get me excited for this. As well as the design/artwork potential from this part the world. And from an entertainment potential, Latin and South American music will provide so much energy. The more I think about this the more I like it.Huge win. Replacing one of the worst lands in any Disney theme park with likely one of the best in any theme park anywhere.
Finally we can get the flavors of South American food represented in the park, give me some empanadas!
Finally Dinosaur will no longer be a “what we could’ve had” every time we ride it. It’ll finally become the attraction it always should’ve been.
A mystic manor style indoor family attraction is exactly what Animal Kingdom needs.
Everything about this is infinitely better than the actual blue sky they threw out last year.
If you noticed, they glossed over Magic Kingdom, because they don’t have firm plans anywhere, but for Animal Kingdom, they actually clarified what they’re planning to do. Animal Kingdom was always the priority number one and this confirms that. This isn’t the blue sky nonsense of last year and it’s super exciting.
A full South American continent is perfect for Animal Kingdom. New animal exhibits throughout the continent, gorgeous placemaking, and a true upgrade. Perfect, perfect, perfect. Hopefully the area between Indy and Encanto becomes a new animal trail.
A big snakes exhibit.IF they can tie Indy into an animal based macguffin, this could work. Like trying to get an extinct animal egg. Big IF though.
Same with Encanto. It needs to relate to the animal kingdom in some way.
I won’t hold my breath. Why oh why can’t they preserve what is arguably the last cohesively themed park behind MK? Why? Otherwise it will become a MK lite with animals.
Is that where the temple at the top is?This artwork makes it look like Nemo may not be there much longer.
The Encanto Casita appears to be the Primeval Whirl location.This artwork makes it look like Nemo may not be there much longer.
Disney: He likes snakes nowMy thoughts on these being in DAK:
Indy can have snakes involved. Some neat snake exhibits would be pretty awesome.
Doesn't a family member in Encanto have the ability to understand animals? That could easily be worked into the attraction's story.
Probably nothing. It's one of several shows that absorbs huge crowds. It's not really "Indy" anyway but stunt performers taking on the parts and the stunts they do.I wonder what this means for Indy long-term in DHS.
No, the layout is fairly easy to grasp.Is that where the temple at the top is?
Either way my point stands. It had a presence in two parks for a long time so they’re likely not rushing anything for the stunt show.
I think Casita is in its vicinity - depends on the nature of the Casita attraction. If its more than just scenery a la Rapunzel's tower, it might infringe upon the theater space.Is that where the temple at the top is?

Agree. When I see words like “ considering” .. I’ll wait until something concrete is in place. I’ve seen this movie so many times that the ending is usually the same. I know, I know.. it gets everyone excited but I’m still thinking of the blue sky ideas from 10-15 years ago that was splashed everywhere then nothing. Artwork looks cool though.First reaction... more blue sky??
Second thought... gee, I wonder how Indy made it to the project board
Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes.A big snakes exhibit.
Ah yes, I forgot about the old Primeval Whirl space. I could easily see Casita being a Mystic Manor sort of attraction and/or an Encanto musical for the Theater in the Wild.No, the layout is fairly easy to grasp.
The Indiana Jones temple sits exactly where dinosaur does currently
The Encanto house sits where primeval whirl used to be.
The carousel looking structure is triceratop Spin
The large building at the bottom, right hand side is RestaurantaSaurus.
The building in the upper middle is the current Chester and Hester’s Dinarama shop
For what it’s worth, while I think replacing Dinosaur is a poor decision, this year’s blue sky idea is leagues better than last year’s.
I mean maybe Dinosaur will stay, and as a yearly tradition, Disney will spitball a new idea they might possibly consider for the area. What will it be next year? Elemental and Dr Strange?
Actually looks like the carousel is going to be where the boneyard isThe carousel looking structure is triceratop Spin
