Again, just because the ride takes place on the day he got his power doesn't automatically mean Antonio and his animals will be "prominently featured".
We had similar fears about Avatar being a war movie and the land fits seamlessly into the park. The story treatments they've publicly stated give me quite a bit of confidence in this land.Yes. This.
And just because the Encanto ride's gonna be set on the day Antonio got his power doesn't mean the whole ride's gonna focus on Antonio and animals. I wouldn't be surprised if Antonio's room was just the finale and the rest of the ride was focused on the other characters, allowing us to go inside their rooms and hear the popular songs from the movie.
Yes but that's clearly what they're going for.Again, just because the ride takes place on the day he got his power doesn't automatically mean Antonio and his animals will be "prominently featured".
I don't think they're going to do that. They're clearing emphasizing that these rides will fit Animal Kingdom highlighting that Indy will be a new story focusing on a mythical creature and talking about Antonio specifically.If it's the finale of the ride, that indicates that only one room will be set there. Chances are the rest of the ride will just be exploring various rooms of the house, none of which have anything to do with animals unless you count the donkeys in Luisa's song.
So, you have two that coincide with animals (one much more than the other) but what about nature?If it's the finale of the ride, that indicates that only one room will be set there. Chances are the rest of the ride will just be exploring various rooms of the house, none of which have anything to do with animals unless you count the donkeys in Luisa's song.
This did indeed seem to be a huge issue for Dinosaur. A big percentage of park visitors just wander around randomly walking up to things that look interesting—and thus a surprising percentage don’t even realize Dinosaur exists. This was greatly exacerbated by the placement of Dino-Rama.Hoping the Indians Jones temple is visible from the fountain plaza as I’ve always felt Dinosaur was hurt by visibility or lack thereof. The red temple should draw the eye more at least.
The closing of Dinosaur is supposed to be delayed relative to the closing of Dinorama. I would personally bet on it still being open in December, though there are of course no certain bets.So when does everyone think the work will start
im going in December, do we expect dinosaur to be closed by then
Yes unfortunately, Disney’s new idea of thematic cohesion is a very loose link to tie things together. Encanto features a minor amount of animals so it’s perfect for AK. Cars is about “paving your own frontier” so of course it makes perfect sense in Frontierland.What do you mean by 'on-theme'? How does a story about a multigenerational Colombian family who receives magical gifts from a miracle and then tries to defend their family and magic fit a theme about conservation and how animals live and behave? How does a story about an archaeologist who tries to defend historical artifacts fit a theme about conservation and how animals live and behave?
I’m sorry, but just adding a random animal to these completely different stories doesn’t make them a good fit for the park’s theme. If that’s your logic, what would be your argument against a Doctor Strange ride at Animal Kingdom where he uses the Time Stone to save endangered species? That kind of thinking is why all parks now look and feel the same—they're just Six Flags parks with no real theme...
Cars in Frontierland is a way bigger stretch though you have to admit. Encanto by itself doesn’t take anything away from the theme of the park.Encanto features a minor amount of animals so it’s perfect for AK. Cars is about “paving your own frontier” so of course it makes perfect sense in Frontierland.
I've heard October rumored for the first part of DinoRama and Boneyard, but Dinosaur could leg it out til spring.So when does everyone think the work will start

They already said he's in the ride. You probably just briefly transition behind the walls at some point.I bet when the Encanto ride opens and it does indeed focus on Antonio and animals like everyone is claiming, we're gonna have a lot of people going "Where's Bruno? Why isn't Bruno in the Encanto ride?", like how everybody's complaining about Dr. Facilier not being in Tiana's Bayou Adventure.
Please no. Just no.I wouldn’t mind if animal kingdom shifted into a more, “adventure” theme park. I think there are some fun ips that could really work well within the realm of animal kingdom but the fact it has to relate to animals makes it kind of like they have to shoe horn things in.
Just call it animal adventure kingdom and allow both animal themes and adventure themes to coexist.
Casually a giant adventure land but themed with animals in mind instead of it being the end all be all focal point.
Disney has diluted all meaning of the word at this point. Means nothing. I vote No.I wouldn’t mind if animal kingdom shifted into a more, “adventure” theme park.

Then it’s just a giant Adventureland.I wouldn’t mind if animal kingdom shifted into a more, “adventure” theme park.
