Shovels of the past. One can go by the incredible reputation of WEDAnd WDI's greatest and hope. But what we also know is the last couple decades, and specifically rethemes have not often delivered triumphs.

Bold of you to assume that there will be animatronics.
I mean, I'm sure there'll be at least one Indiana Jones A100 animatronic that does nothing but stand there and flail his arms, but aside from that? Who knows?

There will be other figures but I can’t speak to the quality of them. Most of the figures in DL’s ride aren’t particularly impressive.
I do wonder if there will be reanimated skeletons/zombies. There probably should be (in an ancient temple) but that doesn’t really make sense in DAK…

Well currently there are four Indiana Jones animatronics in the Disneyland ride. If the new attraction is anything like that we can expect around the same number, but with improved designs and movements that surpass the animatronics from the '90s

I’m actually excited to get an animatronic that looks like ford this time

Wrinkles and all?
The reasoning did not before is he did not sign off his likeness and would not voice so we got this and sound alike.
Has this changed?

Interesting… did he sign off his likeness for MGM? I feel like the AA in GMR looked more like him, and so does the billboard outside the stunt show

I feel like he’d be more willing to sign off this time considering he’s now officially getting some of their money

I feel like people want to remember what they want. When Dinosaur was countdown to extinction it was called a poor man’s Indiana jones/. Then it went to dinosaur and then people said it was slow, boring, and had a lot of dead space. Today people are crying about Dinosaur and calling it a Disney classic. Lololol. You can’t make this stuff up.
About a month ago all the crazy fanatics were trying to make the case that the loss of triceratop spin and the mouse coaster was a huge loss. I honestly think people like to be negative here for the sake of it. It’s also the same hand full of crazies that repeat themselves over and over again. The sky is falling!!!

Many people enjoy dinosaur. I’m of the opinion it could just be updated and modernized and the theme kept. There’s no need to actually change the theme, the IP mandate is making it necessary. Dinosaurs themselves are always a popular theme.
Just rode this morning and many children in the vehicle were having the time of their lives reciting “we’re not gonna make it” and also were immersed in the pre show. You don’t have to have IP to be successful, even if the ride is technically tied into a movie.

Hmm maybe the billboard just works better in person when you’re looking at it from a distance. I do think the GMR figure looked way better than the DL one

...but that was a while back, so if I'm understanding @celluloid correctly that it's been scaled down from the earlier plans, it may have been downgraded from what @Moth saw earlier on. Maybe @Moth will jump in sometime with info about when they saw the plans, so we can compare that against when @celluloid saw what they did, etc.
Yeah that would be great. Because I don't know when and what plans Moth saw. the scale difference I mentioned have come after that model was on display.
I hope they get Indy right. That’s what I have highest hopes for bc Retheme=more money for actual ride scenes yknow? Then again, do we worry to much about budget cuts? I mean that happens to everything

I can’t wait for Indy to open and come with Disneys current standard of screens + dark tunnels a la Frozen and Tiana…
