You Walt Disney Worlders can complain all you want, but this is the best thing to happen to the park since Expedition Everest. Indiana Jones blows Dinosaur out of the water in every conceivable way. I've never been that tempted to go to WDW, but this is the kind of addition that would actually push me over the edge. I'm hyped for this.

Knew it was coming but still sad anyway. Realistically this makes the most sense but I will always love Dinosaur despite its issues and clunkiness.
I personally think it had some unique thrills independent of IJA, and was great for non-coaster folks who wanted something intense. Plus it’s a legitimately scary adventure ride, something I don’t think we’ll see Disney make again.

Happy for Monstropolis but the land needs more than a suspended coaster. Hopefully they have more planned than that because they really need more kid friendly rides.
Per Disney: A woodcarver has created a giant working carousel featuring his favorite animals from Disney stories.

seems like everything will be demolished and started from scratch except for Dinosaur...I don't see them just re-theming the existing merch and food and bev locations. also RIP Triceratop Spin.

That might be dumber than the other carousel backstory at Walt Disney World.

Ah yes, Animal Kingdom, celebrating people’s sacred relationship with the animal world.
Nothing embodies that spirit more than the timeless stories of Encanto and Indiana Jones.

Still don't understand why they wouldn't use the ride mechanics for TS somewhere else. Such a waste especially when the park needs more rides.

So it certainly sounds like they took great care to ensuring that the IJ and Encanto attractions with harmonize with DAK. I know that it won't satisfy the doubters but they made the effort to point out the aspects of the rides that fit with the park.
Encanto taking place largely in Antonio's room always seemed like a no brainer.

Or move it to DHS.

I'd certainly be fine with that too. And honestly if they were thinking about doing so, it would be such a minor thing that they wouldn't announce it at a situation like this. That would be more of a blog level report so who knows, maybe we'll see it happen...

It would be a great add to TSL.
I just don't think there's anywhere they can actually put it there since they did such a poor job with space utilization when they built it.

Still wish they would give Triceratops spin a reskin and move it elsewhere in the park. I'd love for them to announce that next year at Destination D, but I won't hold my breath lol.
What they showed tonight looks very promising for the land's quality. Fidelity to the park's ideals is still TBD.

Someone showed you could fit it kind of between Slinky and the BBQ restaurant next to just east of the guest path. Would be tight but seems possible if they really wanted.

Toy story Land would fit perfectly being a top spin toy and the Triceratops look like Trixie..
