Better to spend that money on a new attraction in a new land to disperse crowds more evenly.

You say this but would it really? It's honestly best to optimize what we have to the best it can be, then expand with new lands. Even then I doubt we'll get what many ask for. What land do you suggest they even add that they need more than a new Dinoland, etc..??

If we look at attractions rather than just rides, then I think most of the lands in AK are pretty well balanced:
Africa: Kilimanjaro, Festival, Gorilla Falls
Asia: Everest, Kali, UP, Maharajah
Dinoland: Dinosaur, C&H, Nemo (I'd love to see C&H replaced, but it does add some balance to the land)

When looked at this way, it is actually Pandora that needs more. There are just two rides and not much to do besides the rides. I'll admit that the land itself is beautifully themed, but the land would be fuller with another attraction.

But the thing is, not all attractions are similar. This we can't judge things so simply. This is why Africa needs a thrill ride. Also why Pandora could use a *good* passive attraction. But Dinoland still has less; because Dinorams does NOT count. It's garbage. The park would be better off with a museum in its place, literally (honestly wouldn't even be a bad idea). So Dinoland essentially has Dinosaur and a bone dig, and the land lacks all thematic cohesion so they don't even look like they flow together. Have you ever noticed how bland the area by Dinosaur is? The land needs more than Pandora by a wide margin.

You make good points, and I'll agree. I would really like to see them develop Dinoland quite a bit. I also agree that C&H really is crap and shouldn't count. I wonder what Disney could do with the land if they committed to theming it as a DINOland.

Agreed, the next easiest step they can take is upgrading the dino area.

After that my personal choice would be South America with an element of S.E.A. interwoven into the land.

Give us a new ride based on Ice Age Mammals (not the movie!!!) and I’ll be happy.

Personally, I think that's the move, either that or Australia.

Animal Kingdom needs a couple more major attractions that don't have height requirements. I'd love to see an extinct animals dark ride in the Dinoland area (ideally replacing Dinorama).

I'd like a restaurant attached to the Dino Institute similar to Space 220 that overlooks a savannah with dinosaurs.
