Rumor New ride coming to Animal Kingdom. D23 announcement expected.

[powerfulpuffin]

What if - to leverage both the Fox IP AND the "nature" credentials of Animal Kingdom, they decide to put in something "National Geographic" themed at DAK? It could throw IP on an otherwise non-IP ride...

Internally, Disney has worried about the third (or fourth) Universal park. This ride is not a knee-jerk reaction to Uni’s prideful announcement a few days ago, but a thought-out plan to continue to bolster up the resort—corporate espionage is golden my friends.

It’s pretty much a go, and barring a Brazil pavilion situation, should be announced this month at D23.

I personally believe it’ll be received as a solid addition to the park, barring the purists.

Okay I am reading this two ways, so could you clarify for me please - it is early and caffeine has not caught up to me yet...

Are you saying this add to DAK could be instead of going into Brazil in Epcot? Or in other words, a ride added to Brazil is still on the table?

OR

Are you saying that this won't get announced IF they announce Brazil instead?

thanks!

Dare I hope they finally add the mythical animals land as they originally planed. Come on dragons!

I thought Disney was a little hesitant on building/announcing more of these one-IP lands after SW:GE didn't pan out how they expected.

Neither (I think). See this:

I think that comment is relating to how the Brazil pavilion was going to be announced at D23 2017 but was pulled from the presentation at relatively the last moment.

What happened to the Brazilian Pavilion?

What happened to the Brazilian Pavilion?

I believe it was supposed to be announced at the 2017 D23 Expo but got pulled from the list of announcements at the last minute.

The Brazilian President currently is very much pro- capitalism and pro-USA...he'll get behind it, especially if his buddy Trump asks him to.
(Not trying to get political here...just stating the guy's stance and that he and Trump do get along)

This is at least the second time this summer that a new poster has joined the site and started dropping information immediately. I'm curious where all these new posters are coming from.

It is all the Imagineers joining and testing their ideas on us to find out if we would riot or not.

Someone told the college interns about this site.

They have not even started building it yet if I am right ,I live in Orlando area and I know where this land is

Land prep has been going on for a while now.

Yes, but at least @WDW Pro seems to write in paragraphs full of information.

Yes but they have not been doing much on the land yet I go by it sometimes

Any hints for us not in the Orlando area?

Nothing has gone vertical, but land prep is the first step in the construction process.

Suspect it is the same person with multiple accounts.

There is SUCH a good joke to make here.

The Brazil Pavilion has been a private effort, not a government one.

Hints about what? It’s a lot of dirt.
