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

[Disgruntled Walt]

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.

 

[DavidDL]

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!!!

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.

Huh, interesting, I kind of expected it to be trackless, but I'm perfectly fine with it being an Omnimover, thanks for confirming it!

Though now that I think about it, I suppose an Omnimover for the Encanto attraction could work, especially seeing as AK really does need that capacity. As I said before, I'm perfectly fine with it being an Omnimover, I just hope the ride is good as I'm a huge Encanto fan and I really hope that it'll be worth the wait.

It’ll have an awesome queue but let’s hope the ride is better than Mermaid.

Thank God all these trackless rides feel the exact same and break down constantly. An omnimover is perfect for what animal kingdom needs.

 

[cjkeating]

Would be interesting to see if they can update the omnimover to have accessible vehicles that can be loaded seperately like the Skyliner or Forbidden Journey to minimise stoppages and maintain capacity.

 

[Coaster Lover]

Is this the completely dry omnimover (a.l.a. Haunted Mansion, Mermaid, SSE, et. al.) or the water/boat based omnimover that was rumored (and patenteted a few years ago)?

 

[Aramar]

Regarding living animals, the park already has several South American animals in the entrance area (I think tamarins, Galapagos tortoises, anteaters and parrots). I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to find some room in Tropical Americas for small animal exhibits to expand this collection (or to relocate some of the current animals from the oasis).

Add some capibaras and coatis, a couple of small terrariums (poison frogs, snakes, lizards, turtles) integrated in the village or the Indy ruins and maybe a small aviary. There's no need for a big facility for jaguars or bears, just a couple of small animal facilities would do wonders for this new area.
