DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

[JackCH]

This isn't the "Dinoland Funeral" thread?!

"You do plan to have DINOSAURS, in your DINOSAUR park, right?

People's argument on here about AK being about animals "past, present, and imagined," and then removing Dinoland made me think of this haha.

Definitely, but the Harry Potter effect is very much a core appeal for Universal. That’s going to manifest at IoA more than any other park and it makes it tough to beat. Ministry of Magic/Wizarding Paris is a tougher sell.

I cannot imagine any Potterheads that don't want to visit the Ministry of Magic (especially after the pictures were released)

This is the Tropical Americas Thread.

Commenting before @MisterPenguin can rightfully scold us.

Since the vast majority of Disney guests aren't going to visit multiple parks around the world for a variety of reasons

I’d actually love to see the data on this. I think there are more of us than most people think.

Ideally there are variations of favorite attractions - big thunder is the best example. Is WDW and Tokyo a 100% clone? All the others are quite different.

 

[TrainsOfDisney]

If you really want to argue that the Orlando area has as much to draw people as Tokyo, Paris, or Los Angeles if you remove the theme parks, then be my guest, but... you're going to sound silly and no one is going to take you seriously.

No one is really saying this. You live in Florida, visit WDW regularly and own a beach house… so that’s how you feel.

flying back from Paris I was sitting next to a man from France headed for a vacation in florida - I highly doubt he had any plans to visit theme parks.

Oh, I'm done scolding. People didn't notice who 'liked' my "this is..." post.

 

[TheCoasterNerd]

So, some tropical americas, eh?

Hey if it were’t for your reminders…. I may have to look at what thread topic I had ventured into again…

So, speaking of tropical places, when are they going to reopen Typhoon Lagoon?

 

[Gremlin Gus]

I'd love to at least get a glimpse of what the ride system for Encanto will be.

I'm guessing based off of what has been said about the ride so far, I'm guessing it might be either Omnimover or Trackless, I'm leaning more towards the ride being trackless as they did say at D23 and what we've heard about the ride, we're going throughout the Casita and to various rooms of it which does (to me at least) sound like it's trackless.

Never heard of it.

I wonder if they'll actually include a single live animal from the "Tropical Americas" in this new area? I didn't catch any allocated space, no matter how small, dedicated to anything like while looking at the permits/layouts online.

Disney will probably just forgo that. Might as well, since they're hellbent on ignoring anything that made the park special or gave it identity.

Excited to see this part of the park close to bring us something actually good.

I'm beyond excited about a good Indy ride.

You might want to lean the other way

I’d be totally fine with an Omnimover if the show scenes are well done!

FINALLY! All of these trackless rides are starting to feel the same.

ALL HAIL THE OMNIMOVER!!!

 

[Drew the Disney Dude]

You just made my entire day.

 

[Disnutz311]

Omnimover for the win!!

 

[JackCH]

An omnimover is perfect for Animal Kingdom. Should be high capacity and far more reliable than trackless for a park that needs consistent capacity. Especially in the rain.
