Genuinely curious, is there some kind of backstory behind your Joe Rohde obsession?
You're making sound like that the high altitudes of the Andes is not "tropical." But the Northern part of the Andes is in Columbia and definitely in the tropics.
You're making it sound like there's only one definition for the word "tropical"
I was alluding to the climactic classification in the first part: "Llamas are more Andean/high altitude than tropical"
and the geographic/astronomical definition for the second part: "but you can definitely find them within the tropics geographically"
which is exactly what I was talking about in the second part so I'm not sure where you're going with this
Not every environment found within the tropics is a tropical climate

I’m gonna go with no. One cursory look at their posting history will tell you they just kinda hate everything and everyone associated with Disney past a certain point.

Don't give them ideas.
Sorry, Kuzco merchandise doesn't sell as well as Mirabel merchandise.
Well, it's hard to find Banshees running around in the wild...
I didn't even think of that. The longer they're open, the more Mirabel merchandise they can sell.

I don't fault Rhode for this, he wasn't controlling the budget. As I always say, Dino-land is one of the best themed lands at Disney, it's not a very ambitious theme.
Rhode is the least of the problem with AK. Including shows, there are 11 attractions--that is it. I have been pounding the table for over 10 years that EVERY park should have over 20 attractions They do not need to be all E ticket or thrill rides. I keep going back to Walt's idea that there was a place where parents can take their children. The parks just need enough attractions to justify the big ticket price, there needs to be a full day of things to do.

I think you are skewing your numbers but choosing not to include things on your list.
Rides (8):
Flight of Passage
Navi River Journey
Kilimanjaro Safari
Wildlife Express
Everest
Kali
Triceratops Spin
Dinosaur
Dedicated Shows (4):
Lion King
Nemo
Tough to be a Bug
Feathered Friends
Major Attractions(4):
Boneyard
Gorilla Falls Trail
Maharaja Jungle Trek
Rafiki's Plant Watch
I like them, but I don't think you can call Boneyard, or Rafiki's (in its last few years version especially)a major attraction.

Whilst I agree that "replacement" rides is the last thing AK need I am pleased to see the end of Chester and Hester's. I do think it is a shame that "Dinosaur's" as a land concept can not be made to work with a refresh and build Tropical America's in another location. I do think that would help get building up where the park should be.

Wildlife Express? The train to Rafikis Planet Watch? That is not really a ride anymore than the parking lot tram is....
THe Boneyard is not a major attraction...It is a play area...
And I agree Rafifkis Planet Watch at this stage isn't much of an attraction either.
so really, 7 rides, 4 shows, 2 Animal Attractions.
By definition, a climate in the tropics is a tropical environment. There are snow capped mountains and sand-duney deserts between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn. A rain forest is not the only "tropical climate." In fact, rain forests can be found outside the tropics.
"Tropical America" is not about rain forests. Encanto is located in the tropics and it is a mountainous forest and not a rain forest.

I agree that all of the parks should be as packed as Disneyland Park but….. DAK is more of a full day park than DHS to me. DHS is so crowded and with no parade, no citizens, and very little to do except for shows and quick 3-4 minute attractions, it’s lots of waiting in line of watching shows all day.
DHS can still be enjoyable of course, but I feel like DAK is in better shape since the safari is a decent length attraction, you have really nice animal trails to experience in between attractions, etc.

I think so…. There is room to expand past the dinosaur / Indy attraction. You’d have to work around the service road but that’s doable.
On the other side you have the theatre for the Nemo show which could easily become a show based on Encanto / coco, etc…. Or it could be repurposed as an attraction.
