Will there be an After Hours ticket for the Trailer Compound attraction?

I’m all for a cool Indy attraction huge fan of the IP and with enough retooling I think it might work.
Here's a link to the .pdf plan if anyone would like to review.

it's confusing the different things we are hearing. It wasn't all that long ago that the hot rumor was that DAK was now lower on the list and MK and DHS were going to get attention first.

If they go with Indy for Dinosaur, I hope it’s not an exact copy of Disneyland. I get the ride system will be, but fingers crossed for a new/different story and effects/elements……..but I know even that is a long shot with today’s standards/status of WDI.

The long running rumor I heard (I can’t remember where I heard it) was that it was an entirely new “not cheap” attraction.

Isn’t there a possibility it’s not the same plans from last D23 in September. Things could’ve slightly changed and they could’ve went with the Moana plans instead… or something else entirely.

Really sad about this. However am glad I got to have some closure and say my goodbyes this past October.
Was always one of my favorite rides at WDW since a child. Rode it 30+ times over my five day trip.
Right...left...right...left..
AK deserves some true "expansions" and capacity increases. Not a retheme to a unique ride.

I too love dinosaurs (not the IP but DInosaurs in general) and am sad to see the land go but right now if you like Dinosaurs Universals IoA is hard to beat cause they got 2 good major attractions, a couple small ones, and a bunch of cool stuff to see walking around.
I will also say I am optimistic about the changes and like the concept art a lot.

This is the one time I wish they'd go the cheap route and just have a "Indiana Jones vs Dinosaurs" ride that actually fills in the dark spaces with foliage.

I’d hope something else entirely cause the two concepts they’ve shown look bland and terrible, without adding much capacity to the park.

While I agree Dinoland USA needs serious attention and while I love the Indy attraction at DL, I don't love these Blue Sky plans. Out of alllll the animal related IP they have, Indiana Jones and Encanto is what they go with? Or Moana? NONE of the plans they've currently shown us have enough tie-in to AK. But I know that is, sadly, how modern Disney operates. Cohesive theming? What's that? 
Personally what I'd love to see is an Australian outback area here, since that region isn't represented in any park. Keep the Dinosaur ride system and turn it into a jeep driving you on a nighttime adventure through the outback. Need an IP tie-in? Rescuers Down Under would be a perfect fit (it's probably not current enough to even be considered...but still, if Disney just HAS to have an IP, it writes itself). The look of Restaurantosaurus and Chester and Hester's wouldn't even have to change that much. It would be cool and different, imo, and would allow them to bring in some new animals.

Totally missed this one. Up until recently SFWMD permits were filed by RCID. I assumed they would switch to CFTOD so I have also been searching that. This permit was filed directly by Disney so I didn't find it in my searches.

"We can't compete with Jurassic Park, let's just give up on making anything else with dinosaurs and let Universal have a monopoly on them" thinking has been a plague on Hollywood. Like I'm pretty sure you weren't supposed to take the Simpsons bit seriously.

Was looking forward to riding Dinosaur one last time during our late April/early May trip. May not get that chance now.
Ironically the construction trailers abut an extremely large expansion area that could just do that.

So the question is, is this a trailer compound or the project, or are the moving something to make room for the project? If it was a just for this project I am not sure why they would have put it so far back, but the parking is all gravel which would seem to indicate temporary.
