Some people are really bending over backwards today to downplay all the announcements. I haven't been this optimistic in a long time.
So, what I'm reading is, the countdown to extinction for Dinosaur is nearing 0?
Thank you, I'll see myself out

If construction starts this fall and it opens in fall 2027, that's 3 years total.
Historically, that's the average time for Disney to build major projects. The reason why it seems short is that most of the things that recently opened in WDW were all dragged out due to the pandemic and Disney intentionally halting work.

Quetzalcoatl is an Aztec god and this Indy ride specifically takes place in a Maya temple, so I don’t see Quetzalcoatl being featured!I still stand by that it will be Quetzalcoatl..Indy hates snakes! And now Serpents..
Looks like this to me...

While I 100% think this will be a very successful transition, they're reeeeaaaalllly doing very, very little to the existing structures. The Institute's facade mostly remains just behind the new temple weenie, and Restaurantosaurus survives with just about everything but the Quonset hut. Also, it's difficult to find the "garden" animal exhibits in the model... that's a bit concerning.

It could be Kukulkán. I'm not sure of the technical term, but it could be said that it's a similar deity. I might ask my sister for more information or sources about Kukulkán later.I still stand by that it will be Quetzalcoatl..Indy hates snakes! And now Serpents..

I like that path between Encanto and Indy. I had been thinking that in the future there's no way to expand the land, but that gives me hints that they might have a plan.

Minus the animal comment, I honestly think that's good. The bones have always been fine in the areas that weren't Dino-Rama. Efficiency is a good path forward with this.
I know this isn’t a big deal to everyone, but this really bums me out. This is a favorite of all my kids, and it wasn’t unusual for us to spend a couple hours there each visit.
And I’m still salty they removed the HISTK playground.
Anyway, it always seemed busy…I can’t imagine it had low guest satisfaction scores. Guess you can’t monetize a playground though….

Are there going to be animal exhibits? Doesn't seem like there are any on the model and no one has talked about it.

Are there any ideas on Nemo musical’s fate? Can the building be tied into the Encato attraction?

Someone get a top view shot of that model! We can look at things and estimate sizes.
My cousin is asking me if he'll be able to ride Dinosaur when he goes to WDW in January. Could the 'Fall 2024' start date mean a close for Dinosaur or just land work? Sorry if this has been answered, been working and will catch up on the thread later
