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

[marni1971]

Any good comparisons to what we have now?

In experience? Imagination ? But I’d assume better.

I’m home. Not an omni but track based. Specifics are sparse but imagine a static load/unload with one or more (or even a group of 4) RVs moving around the attraction, each with 2 rows per vehicle. Separate ADA load. And a betting man might also say 14 distinct show scenes.

I could see something like this as an upgrade for SSE RVs..

Guesses. All guesses.

Not.

I wonder if something like the new Pan ride in Fantasy Springs?

If Monster Inc. Land opens in a phased approach and the theater show indeed opens first, then I'd give them the benefit of the doubt that they needed the time.

How is that evidence that the time was needed?

I think it's more likely that Muppets courtyard will be a construction zone and they needed to start on it. Closing Mama Melrose a month early might be a sign that they will be full speed ahead.

Why though? What about the shown intent suggests a scope of work similar in need to the work in the parking lot?

From the site we don't day, heavy demolition equipment is on site. I imagine we'll start seeing them ripping into the land properly now:

For one, I think the onus should be on you and others to provide evidence they are cutting operational expenses by closing MV3D without seeing any work that's happening since that's your claim.

Let's see what the area looks like later this summer.

And yes if the Monsters Inc theater show opens before the Doorcoaster, maybe it's because they wanted to open the area sooner overall.

So similar to Pooh? I’m having a hard time picturing anything else.

The current figment ride is similar to what is being described I think. It’s actually a really good ride system in my opinion.

This is like insisting that a friend must be stuck in traffic on the tolled highway even though you know and have stated that they prefer to take local roads instead of paying the tolls. This has been explained in detail in the thread. You have even acknowledged the underlying components, but keep insisting that they can’t work in concert together.

The one way this would not be cost cutting is if they only close this for like 6 months to do the changeover, then use walls and such to get it opened back up with the exits. But, I'm not sure that is in any way feasible with where the exit is, especially if the muppets store needs demo. So I guess there is an extremely slight possibility it's not a cost savings measure and they are just trying to get it back open as soon as possible. But considering the total lack of details on the show, the placement of the building, and how WDW generally operates, I'd be SHOCKED if it's not.

It also could be more than on thing - there could be some cost savings - especially as the are opening two new(ish) shows and could transfer staff, etc

But also they found that they couldn't do the expansion construction effectively and efficiently without being too close to where guests exit the current show. Could they build/reroute that? Sure but figure easiest and best path is just close it and get going in fullness on the work

one would hope that it would be a vast upgrade from that janky jerky clunky ride. it may have been smooth 20 years ago, but there is nothing impressive about it now.

I would imagine it would be smoother

If the ride vehicles don’t end up being connected at all then you’re actually looking more at a classic fantasyland dark ride type deal like Pooh Alice or Pinocchio with Encanto moreso than a Figment.
