I have mentioned this many times and still stand by and expect down the line that the Name of the Park will change to Disney's Adventure Kingdom to fix this situation..
I don't think I can see that happening. Regardless of how well future additions align with the park’s themes, it’s alway gonna be half-zoo and the name needs to make that clear

Perhaps, but I’d think Disney wants people to immediately know which of their 4 parks has the animals. But I guess you never know for sure what they’ll do these days

And furthermore, "having animals" is a distinguishing aspect of DAK that compliments the other parks with different offerings (well, yeah, aquatic life in Epcot).

Well we all knew Panther didn't like the Muppets but now we can add Antonio from Encanto to the list.
Who said I hate Antonio? Just because I don't want Encanto in Animal Kingdom doesn't mean I hate him.

And I actually like the Muppets. You're thinking of Magenta Panther, who's said that he doesn't hate the Muppets, he just hates that they're part of Disney.

Why should the GotG ride focus on energy? It’s a weird take. There’s no particular reason a pavilion needs to continue to focus on the same theme as a previous unrelated one that came before.

I’m not thrilled with the execution of Cosmic Rewind but it’s because it didn’t lean as heavily into science about exploring the universe and/or the Big Bang not because it "wasn’t about energy".
GotG should have taken us back to the big bang, to explain energy in the universe. It should have been linked to UoE. That would have been creative, as well as respectful to the previous rides and the edutainment purpose of EPCOT.
“Dark boat ride” is the theory…
Similar to FEA?

If this is true ... hoping they change course to a trackless system. it seems SO much more fitting for the IP. A boat ride through the casita? Make it make sense lol. Save the boat ride for the LION KING attraction. Which I am really rooting for, as the park could use one more E-ticket attraction. Then honestly with all of these additions (as well as a new nightime show) ... I think the park would finally be a true full day park.

Okay, I have to admit I am slow here. But is Disney and Imagineering only locked into boat dark rides now?
I look at the new fantasy land in Tokyo and the two major new rides are boat rides. Shanghia Pirates. and the other ride in Avatar in AK was a boat ride.

Not knocking it, but it seems to be the form and direction they are locked into - except for the three new rides put in WDW with trackless.

I also wonder if this Encanto boat ride and for that matter the new Moana won't just be a redo of those New fantasy land boat rides

would make sense and be nice but they haven't exactly shown that's the direction they are going here with things, we need that tangled ride bad, its just perfect and so well done, probably why we will never have it.
