Even if Galaxy’s Edge was the expected draw it still would have been a dud for attendance because, despite spending billions on it, the park can’t really handle many more people.

So at the time, how many days a year were the parks at capacity?

And if either of those lands expanded beyond previous boundaries, they actually increased the max capacity of the parks.

You guys clamoring that Dinosaur should stay are probably the ones who thought that Maelstrom was a good attraction as well. While I hate the cheapness that Disney uses on some things, the Indy overlay is smart. I can only hope that it has upgraded effects and a different storyline than DLs

I never thought Maelstrom was a great attraction.
I do think Dinosaur is.
I certainly believe dinosaurs belong in AK.

Capacity of a theme park is not determined by area like the typical maximum occupancy calculation of a building.

Maelstrom was mediocre but it was better than Frozen Ever After -- especially when factoring in placement/location, but I actually think it was a better attraction regardless.

I would have to disagree...Maelstrom was a nice attraction, but painfully short and very disjointed... I was totally against putting Frozen in World showcase, but I cannot say the ride is worse than Maelstrom. Lengthening the flume and adding an additional scene helped, thought Frozen still has some issues...It feels a bit more complete than Maelstrom. FEA is a good start, but doesn't quite get there.... But I can't say that Maelstrom was a better attraction.....

I think Frozen is equally disjointed, and also looks barren/unfinished compared to Maelstrom.

I think FEA is one of the worst designed rides at WDW, though -- it's really more about that than Maelstrom. It has nice AAs (and even those are brought down by the projection faces), and that's basically it. It's sole appeal is the inclusion of Frozen characters and Frozen songs; there's nothing else there.

We can confidently say they won’t announce next fall that they’ve “pivoted” to a Wish land at DAK…

So, has there been any recent info on this beyond the 'bluesky' mention?

How does my dream of a South American area with an Indiana Jones ride, Amazon jungle trek, Encanto Casita ride modeled after Mystery Manor with a pink flower river moat...... stand?

There's no new information on any of those fronts. And there might never be.

But at least he has tight pants, a runners build, and a winning smile! You wanted actual park expansion and investment?

I do have a small issue with the critique. Does the ride feel like a hurried add to take advantage of Frozen, yes. Ask your self this question, have you ever seen a 10 yo or younger ever complain? Not all rides are for adults and when we go to WDW with our younger grand kids, this is at the top of their lists to go on.

Ok, I see everyone’s point, I guess I’m saying when you think of Indiana Jones or Enchanto the first things that come to most people’s minds will have nothing to do with the animals in the films. But whatever Disney does do I’m sure it’ll be done well and be fun no matter what.
