Rumor Is Indiana Jones Planning an Adventure to Disney's Animal Kingdom?

[peter11435]

Think of the mermaid clone. Crappy queue at DCA, great queue in MK. Now reverse it for Indy. .

Possibly. But based on recent and current queue projects I wouldn’t be so cynical.

Fascination with dinosaurs doesn’t make them part of archeology.

I’m not saying it does. But to say they have no impact on mankind is downright silly.

But what if the Mayans hid the Idol of Taquito in the Temple of Mara and it creates a portal through time and space?

LOL Perfect!

They have done a good job with queues.

Sounds like what they'd do make it as complicated as possible because, you know "backstory" ...

Didn’t a slow ride like Kilimanjaro but with dinos exist at Epcot from 1982 to 2017?

I doubt we will go down that rabbit hole again.

What are you saying? Do you really think UoE in its various incarnations is a fair test of how guests might enjoy a dinosaur "safari"? I think most people who rode UoE did so to see the dinos, don't you? The fact that repeat riders would sit though multiple screenings of the filmed sections to see the dinosaurs again would seem to indicate that a dinosaur-only slow ride would be popular. Or am I misunderstanding your point?

There is no way marketers really think that Indiana Jones has more mass appeal than DINOSAURS. I hope there is no way. At this point I'm hoping Indy 5 tanks, so this idea gets s***canned

 

[Kman101]

Maybe they think they hit the jackpot pairing Indy and Dinos? lol. People love Dinos. People love Indy. Voila.

They must drink coming up with these decisions, no?

But, if done right, I can "buy" Indy/Dinos. But we'll see what the real execution is.

Lol. I think you underestimate the power of the fedora. I'm pretty sure that a bull whip toting globetrotting archeologist makes more money for Disney than something the public can see for free at a natural history museum.

Not cynical, just thinking about the space they've got to work with. I'm sure it'll be fine, just not as grandiose as DLs

 

[Indy_UK]

Unless they do a ride where I'm inside a fridge surviving a nuclear blast, I'm not interested in an Indy area

Don't you know climbing into fridges can kill you?

I'll take the risk if I don't need a fast pass

It could easily be just as grandiose as Disneyland. There is plenty of space.

Remember you are not limited to the boundaries of the existing facade. Realistically the queue could and should extend out to the current entrance pillars.

The main lobby could be converted to the central temple room. The large pre show rooms combined into the preshow projection room. The existing load area is already large and taller than the Disneyland equivalent. The first Museum rooms and the area outside the current attraction could become the caves caverns temple and exterior queue.

I’m not saying this project should move forward. But if it does space is not holding it back.

You're saying the average 10 year old would find a trilogy of movies from the 80's (don't draw comparisons to star wars--the prequels and sequels kept the franchise relevant and lucrative unlike Crystal Skull) more exciting than real-life moving dinosaurs? Keep in mind that Jurrassic World is one of the highest grossing films of all time.

Yes.

Yes.

Would Jurassic World have been nearly as successful if it did not feed off the existing success and fandom from the series of films two decades earlier?

Disney’s two most recent dinosaur efforts combined made less than half of the last Indiana Jones film. All three films sucked.
