Based on the plans, I estimated that the Encanto show building will be about 74,000 square feet. For context, the Haunted Mansion show building, another omnimover ride, is about 45,000 square feet.

I’m sure Encanto will have a larger indoor queue than Haunted Mansion, but even with that in mind, this will be a fantastic addition to DAK.

I’m more excited for the encanto ride than the Indiana jones one

I am too - though I do think the existing Indy is a better version that what Dinosaur was so do view that as (potentially) and upgrade as well. But the Encanto ride could be really unique and "special" vs just a very good attraction
I’m a little confused about what you’re saying mind clarifying?

I can try :)

The ride system for Dinosaur will be reused for Indy and is the same as the Indy ride at Disneyland - which I found superior to Dinosaur and I am optimistic the Indy ride version at AK will be at least as good as the Disneyland version - meaning this will be an upgrade and a very good attraction ... but something that has been done before and similar to another existing ride

Encanto will/should/could be something very unique and cool and of a very large scale and really stand out ... plus just the "unknown" of what it will actually be brings some more excitement to it. Guess the unknown is more exciting to me than a known quantity

but both will be positive additions to the park

Thank you for clarifying I think there may have been a bit of a word jumble in your original post no offense of course I wasn’t trying to say Indiana Jones will be bad merely that I’m looking forward to the encanto ride more

Except for “and” instead of “an” (an easy typo or autocorrect), it was fine. I followed 🤷‍♀️

I’m actually more excited about Indy because I already love the ride at Disneyland and I can’t wait to see what the new story will be with some modern tech to help tell the story. (And hopefully, again, Troy Baker to voice Indy because he did an amazing job in The Great Circle).
