I have no idea... Hard to know who really knows what and what is fact VS supposition or opinion.... Now if Martin says it is coming....that's a different story.

This being the Tropical America thread, we pretty much know the general gist of the three rides. We don't know specifics of each. And theories of other DAK rides or other park rides belong in their respective threads.
It's OK for this thread not to have new posts until we know more about the things that pertain to this thread.

Maybe it'll be a chance to dig up bones of capybaras?

I think it'd be daft not to just repurpose the boneyard site as more of an archaeologist's dig site instead.
No disrespect to archaeologists or palaeontologists but it's kind of the same thing... ish... general "digging up stuff"
I think moth wasn’t really saying it for sure WAS happening, just a possibility. Even then it was before we knew about monsters. The last few pages were just hypotheticals about “what if”. If anyone would have any updated information about that “zootopia or simpsons at DHS” talk I’d love to hear it though.
Digging up human remains and artifacts would go against the central core theme of Disney *Animal* Kingdom, no?I think it'd be daft not to just repurpose the boneyard site as more of an archaeologist's dig site instead.

Unless, perhaps, they were digging up remains of prehistoric zookeepers.

These attractions will be nice partial replacements for what was there.

If they put it adjacent to the IJ temple and just have it as an excavation continuation of the temple worshipping some Kukulkan-esque figure, then it works fine.

A boneyard successor linked to the Indiana Jones portion of the land??

Animals factor heavily into mythology and folklore. If it's right by the temple, such a digsite could involve digging up artifacts depicting animals important to Mesoamerican cultures. Jaguars, quetzals, snakes, bats, etc. depicted as sculptures, on vases, and so on. Could even throw in a dinosaur fossil as an Easter egg; while they don't often work together, paleontologists and archaeologists will notify those in the other field if they find something relevant while excavating. But even without that, there's plenty to dig up in terms of animal art.
And raccoons, ferrets, and pandas.

Isn't that where the Cretaceous Trail is now? I feel like something will go there, whether it's an animal exhibit or something else?

I see a path there, but I'm not sure if it's the same design as Cretaceous Trail

The current plan includes a large play area.

Feel Like Cretaceous Trail would be the perfect location for a few small animal exhibits. Capybaras etc etc. Though a jungle themed play area here would also be nice.
