That time is long overdue.
So silly to waste money changing one ride to another theme when it can be put towards actually expanding ride numbers. Especially with 3/4 of the parks needing far more attractions.

I hope they go the mini-land route if Indy is a lock for DHS but I assume that would constitute a "phase 3". A phase that isn't currently planned per our insiders unless things have changed.

I agree. Add the ride next to the show (with updates) and a place to eat and it could be a fun addition!
As far as I can tell, there is no room behind Indy Stunt for a mini-land. Not even a one-off attraction without reclaiming part of the parking lot.

With the proper facades, it could be a wonderful transition from Echo Lake to Grand Avenue. If there was some way to theme it like a school where Indy taught or maybe a museum you transitioned through to reach the jungles of Indy's adventures, it would be perfect. The city-themed decor in Hollywood Studios is amazing, from Sunset Boulevard to Grand Avenue. I just wish it was continuous.

Remove Star Tours, re-theme backlot to Indy, expand back for slightly more space. Where there's an IP there's a way.

If I had to choose Star Wars or Indy, it'd be Indy all the way.

Especially when we are getting a Star Wars Land!
I would have to assume using part of the parking lot is at least being looked at. I don't know why else they would have moved the Cast Services building just a few feet away if they weren't looking at better utilizing the space behind Indiana Jones.

I have assumed the same thing. Seems odd to move the building just slighly over from its current position. It does give me hope Indy the attraction is coming next to the stunt show.

It has been said that Indy is being considered to take the plot that was intended for Star Wars the first time around (the one that takes over part of the parking lot). So it would expand the footprint of DHS.
There is a planned 3.5 acre expansion pad behind Indy to the east of the perimeter road. It was always planned to push the park boundary slightly east:
The original (years ago) plan was for an unspecified attraction and a TSR.

I think replacing Star Tours is the linchpin for developing a larger mini-land.
If you rope in Star Tours; you'd also have Training Academy ripe for replacement too. Backlot Express would be prime for a Jock Lindsey's restaurant conversion. That's a D-ticket ride replacement, a new Indy Academy type attraction, A themed QSR, A stunt show, what I would assume to be a new E ticket boat ride and a few shops. With all converted that would be a huge win for HS. If considered.

Let us hope and pray. Dinosaur is a great ride and doesn't need to be rethemed. DHS needs all the extra rides it can get.

I’m sure it’s on the table of discussions. We just need to wait and see what happens. Maybe an Indyland happens in DHS, maybe it happens in AK (which would be a terrible fit), maybe an Indy ride is built on top of the stunt show, maybe nothing happens at all. Anything is possible.

Don’t worry, I’m emailing them now, I’ve got a good relationship with Chapek
This is a lie
Maybe so, but Chapek has a better relationship with my credit card than I do with him...
