Lets not make posting s***Toks a thing on this forum.

Let’s put you to bed, grandpa lol

Looks like Casita sits right where Primeval Whirl was, but if the actual building is just a fascade/queue space for a larger ride (a.l.a. Haunted Mansion) is there really room for a large show building behind there? Looks like there are some structures in the way... how "movable" are they?

@Henry Mystic did an overlay here with the Mystic Manor facade sitting right about where Casita is shown in the rendering.

There must be next to no 'savings' on replicating a ride from the 1990's so you have to assume this would be a new build that may take some references from the original IJA.

Wasn't there a long rumoured Indy and dinosaurs overlay rumoured for Dinosaur many years ago?

Yes. But if you could build 2 of everything…

 

[The Visionary Soul]

I wonder what this means for Indy long-term in DHS.

Stunt show’s gotta go away eventually.

Aladdin has a parrot, a tiger, a monkey, elephants, llamas, bears, lions, birds that warble on key, camels, peacocks, and horses in it. Does that belong in Animal Kingdom too?

No idea, you just said Indy had nothing to do with animals, and I just wanted to point out your mistake.

Of course, you also seem to be forgetting the episode of The Young Adventures of Indiana Jones when as a child he traveled to Africa and met President Theodore Roosevelt on safari. Then, after discovering where a very rare species of antelope, the Oryx, and witnessing the safari group killing a massive number of the rare animals he himself helped locate, Indiana helped open the eyes of Roosevelt and company to the preservation of the animals being alive and how they affected the balance of life in the area. Thus, teaching the viewers how over-hunting a species can lead to its extinction and the fallout that can have on a location's ecosystem.

But yeah, I guess that little bit of conservation of animals has absolutely nothing to do with the conservation of animals.

They could use that space to build another "land"

The question I keep coming back to is what happens when the budget gets cut from where it's supposed to be now. I feel like that's a given.

That hasn’t really been a big problem in a good while. The issue is more that things cost more than anticipated so things get cut to keep the whole project in budget.

As I said last year:

Agreed! I would much prefer more authentic dinosaur-oriented experience (not a traveling carnival) than an opportunity to buy an Indiana Jones T-shirt. What happened to educating guests..?

What happened to educating guests..?

Judging by what's happening at EPCOT. I would say it's pretty much dead.

Please explain why posting someone who isn't a member of this forums bad takes as a video in the middle of a discussion is in any way productive or helpful to the discussion.

We've descended to a new low as fans of Disney Theme parks. Where as once we demanded new attractions and experiences and discussed them at length, we now seem pacified with nonsense talk about something they may or may not do in 10 years.

Careful, you'll get scolded to find a new vacation spot or find something new to be a fan of. Defenders gonna defend.

If there are country representatives teaching guests about their cultures like when I went to DAK's Africa when I was a kid, I'll be very interested and joyous! I remember one showed me a dance from his culture!

Animal Kingdom has become a game of Terrible Idea Mastermind at this point.

"This one here? Hm, no, they hate it. Uh, over here and this one there? Okay, they're begrudgingly accepting of that one, I'll try the other one over here..."

I'm so numb I'm not even angry at the Dinosaur axing talk anymore. I still hate the idea of losing it, but all the hemming and hawing is just annoying at this point. But I guess I'd rather they keep doing that than actually deciding on anything...

 

[EricsBiscuit]

Apparently the new photo opp outside DAK’s entrance is Encanto themed with the brother of Maribel that has to do with animals. Interesting!

A sad and funny thought: there exists a universe where The Good Dinosaur was an actual critical and commercial hit and thus a universe where we'd probably be looking at Dinoland and Dinosaur being revamped into that.

I guess it'd be a way to keep dinosaurs in Animal Kingdom...I guess.

Even easier is the universe where Dinosaur was a hit movie, and the name change came to Countdown to Extinction, we got a great lemur exhibit and everything was well maintained in the Disney universe.
