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

[Kamikaze]

They pretty much have to do a trail, right? How exciting.

The trails are great. Just because they aren't E tickets or thrilling doesn't mean they aren't worthwhile.

Oh good, replace the worst ride at WDW with the worst ride at DLR.

Indiana Jones Adventure is literally the best ride at the DLR; what are you smoking, bro? The worst ride out here is easily the Incredicoaster followed by Mission Breakout.

Off the cuff reaction: Tokyo’s version of IJ is based in South America, no? I assume it will cosmetically be similar to that

Also for that matter, why not build Raging Spirits too in the area here to have another ride?

An Encanto dark ride makes a lot more sense from an operations perspective. The Moana water ride would have a height requirement and couldn’t operate in thunderstorms.

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Is that a mountain behind the Encanto house?

Looks like it - maybe that is to house the show building?

BTW - looking at measurements, Primeval Whirl took up more real estate than I thought. It, plus some backstage area creates about 7,300 sq meters. For comparison, Haunted Mansion is like 6,000 sq meters and Mystic Manor is like 3,300 sq meters

Oh yes! Shake me Indy that looks nothing like Harrison Ford, shake me!

The ride sucks. Its Dino but with Indy. And I LOVE the Indy movies, I'll even watch Crystal Skull occasionally. But the ride system for the attraction is garbo, so it makes the attraction garbo.

I will say though that I liked the idea of an Oceania type land (even featuring Moana) in DAK. And the idea of a boat ride there. I would be okay to see that concept come back in a new land that has animals from that part of the world.

I do think it’s worth revisiting in the future. Using an all-new expansion area for Oceania would still be a valid idea. Animal Kingdom with the Americas, Africa, Asia, Oceania, Pandora, and … maybe a S.E.A. outpost or a mythological creatures area actually starts to sound like a complete, cohesive park.

Realistically, do you think that current Disney could do that level of retheming to Dinosaur in under a year and a half?

Nope.

 

[SomePixieDust]

Is it too late to suggest Pixar's Up Instead of Indy?

Ew

 

[Disney Rocks]

Really, if they change Mara into an angry animal spirit, Indiana Jones Adventure wouldn't be that different conceptually from Expedition: Everest.

I couldn’t be happier with this news. Dinoland always had a very weird six flags kiddie area feel to it with only a single good attraction that was hit or miss. This makes the land cohesive and fits the theme of the park better, that being different parts of the world and the natural wonders within them.

They are also keeping the flow of dinoland. The family friendly Chester and hester is being replaced by family friendly encanto, and the ‘scary’ CTX is being replaced by the intense Indy ride.

They could’ve done all this while still keeping the land about Dinosaurs.

Goood move. Mystic Manor style dark ride would be a solid add for a day at DAK.

I know right, I’ve seen the wildest takes like that only on this site

The only time Disney has ever been able to properly execute dinosaurs has been on the Disneyland Railroad and Universe of Energy. For some reason, they just are never successful with them, especially in films.

Oceania is the Nemo show. It's based in the S. Pacific/Australia between Asia and S. America. Imagine that it's perfectly placed in AK.

Encanto in Animal Kingdom. What drugs are they on?

 

[Captain Barbossa]

I can’t wait to see the reaction of the people who are expecting an Encato dark ride when they find out it’s just going to be a walk through of the house.

Do we have details for Encanto? I hope it ends up being a solid indoor dark ride
