So is Nemo confirmed to be part of Tropical or is it just in its own spot for now?

Well I'm just glad that the replacement of Dinoland USA will finally make Disney's Animal Kingdom a full day park!

Do they have enough room to develop things like that in DAK? I mean it seems like they're very short on space.

Or they don't want the added operational costs of adding new things instead of replacing existing.

It really does blow my mind that real animals were an afterthought for this land, given its biodiversity. Almost like they were caught off-guard that people would ask about it.

It's due to its proximity to the parking lot just to its south. No room for animal enclosures.

I think it's on the outside, but no confirmation on that yet.

While DAK won't become a full day park at the completion of Tropical Americas, it probably will become the best themed domestic theme park? While I'd argue it's already there, the removal of Dinorama solidifies it.

The park will be the only domestic Disney park with no "abandoned/outdated" areas? The park will feel "complete" with no "why is this here?" areas or dead attraction space. The park will still need more experiences, but it won't visually look like that.

Rafiki's planet watch?

Nemo has never been part of any land and is not affected. The theater is just it's own thing between Asia and the now extinct Dinoland.

Edit. I stand corrected. It has been shown as part of Dinoland. My personal opinion (no info) is that its in its own spot.

In all seriousness, a drone show would be a great because they obviously can't have fireworks due to the animals.

Maybe park guests stay longer than they do now because more to do in Tropical Americas? If you're really serious about doing AK, you don't skip the animal walkways and shows either. If you're a park commando-type whose only interest is doing rides, AK is not your park.

No "confirmation" is needed. It has never been part of the Dinoland discussion because it's not part of Dinoland. It's just a theater located between Asia and the now extinct Dinoland.

Edit. I stand corrected. It had been shown as part of Dinoland. I don't believe anything will happen to it any time soon. Nemo is doing just fine.

The theater has always been listed on maps as part of Dinoland, USA.

Fair enough. But has never been part of the Dinoland discussion. I think of it as "Australia" anyway between Asia and the future Tropical Americas.

Theater in the Wild is Dinoland. The people there wear the outfit. There's some vague, dumb, modern-Imagineering-esque backstory about it being a lecture hall.

Technically, the Discovery River Theater is also Dinoland territory.

I accept the correction. However, it has never been part of the discussion. The Nemo show is doing just fine on its own.

Just sharing some obscure information; I don't care what they do with it.

It's so out of the way that I completely forgot that exists. But I take my statement back with this, I wish the railroad had actual theming lol

I'm sure it'll keep people in the park a bit longer, but doubt we see any significant expansion to park hours. Still not enough additions to warrant later hours.

In addition, crews and trucks were spotted near Dinosaur Treasures dismantling the gift shop.
