Arabia, an extension of the Asia continent
From the dust of the demolished Dinoland rises Arabia, anchored by an incredible real camel-riding exhibit/attraction that adds both an educational aspect and needed kinetic energy along the trails throughout the land. In place of Dinosaur, we finally build the Magic Carpet E-Ticket attraction that Aladdin deserves. To replace the Finding Nemo show (which is technically in Dinoland?? or if not, just behind it), we import and enhance the Sinbad attraction from Tokyo DisneySea's Arabian Coast, but this time, it's a THRILLING musical flume adventure WITH DROPS to further cool off those hot days at Animal Kingdom and provide an appropriate segue from the desert to the mountains of Asia proper with Everest.Bonus: The Giant Anteater has always had a special place in my heart. If the actual expansion includes South America, I sincerely hope it is included!

Joe let’s remember this is ANIMAL Kingdom, and instead of figuring out which of today’s hot IP we can shoehorn into the former Dinoland, how ‘bout we focus on bringing unique wildlife our visitors seldom get to see. That’s why I’m proposing LAND DOWN UNDER where we can highlight Kangaroos and Koala bears, along with Kookaburra and even a Tasmanian Devil, all in a natural atmosphere that would remind Australians of home. For those who won’t even set foot in a land unless there’s an attraction, I’d suggest an airborne adventure (imagine a ride system like Peter Pan’s Flight, updated with 21st Century technology) to bring to life the story from Rescuers Down Under, as we help Cory evade a villainous poacher bent on capturing his eagle.
BONUS: I’ve always hoped that Animal Kingdom might have an exhibit devoted to penguins.

Amazonia
This replacement for dinoland is not specifically South America but focused on one of the largest rainforests in the world, the Amazon. Outside of the thick rainforest, replacing the Nemo theater is a theater show retelling of the blue sky film rio, once we enter the rainforest we see a coaster winding through the thick trees and murky waters of the Amazon, a zip line going across the land, a flight simulator similar to soarin over the Amazon, and a jungle excursion of buggy’s to find different animals and lost ruins, this land offers several diverse and unique animal walkthroughs that showcase the exotic and tropical life of the Amazon. The land serves guests with several different ride experiences and experience that is unique to Disney and this land will showcase a part of the world that is not currently being showcased.
Bonus:
The giant squid. I am pretty sure that it is too big to fit in an aquarium.

Beastly Kingdom
Joe, do you remember a concept about a land themed to mythological creatures? Beastly Kingdom (slightly based on the scrapped Animal Kingdom land that got replaced by Camp Minnie-Mickey and Pandora) will be a suitable replacement for DinoLand, home to many dragons, unicorns, centaurs, minotaurs, and other mythical creatures alike, featuring rides and attractions including Dragon’s Fury (replacing Dinosaur), a speedy EMV ride where you get chased by a dragon as it flies and breathes fire; Fantastic Excursions (replacing Primeval Whirl), a calm boat ride themed to Fantasia; Mythical Maze, a hedge maze themed to mythical creatures like minotaurs and unicorns (replacing the Boneyard); Flying Unicorns (rethemed Triceratop Spin), and Onward: Live (stage show replacing Finding Nemo). Like Pandora, there are no real animals in this land, but guests can spot Audio-Animatronics of many mythological animals throughout the land.
Bonus:
It would be cool to have llamas in the Animal Kingdom if they aren’t already there.

According to Google, there are 1,651,933 Filipino-Americans living in California. That’s a lot of people who would probably love to see their culture represented on the stage in an accurate and authentic way, especially by a big company like Disney.

I didn't even know about that. I just Googled "songs about California" and saw that listed.
Kingdom of the Prehistoric
Y'know, people do still like dinosaurs, and hey, since Disney bought 20th Century Fox they own a somewhat popular IP that's about prehistoric animals, an IP they've shown they're still willing to milk, so instead of removing dinosaurs from the park entirely, why not just refresh the land while keeping the existing theme? Here in the Kingdom of the Prehistoric, guests can travel through a jungle in the Cretaceous Period dodging a Carnotaurus (a tweaked version of Dinosaur removing the "Dino Institute" stuff, but retaining all the dinosaur animatronics), hang out with Manny, Sid, and Diego in a new family-friendly Ice Age dark ride, soar through the sky on the back of a pterodactyl (a retheme of Triceratops Spin), and even get up-close-and-personal with a few animals that existed in the time of the dinosaurs but are still around today. Eat your heart out, Jurassic Park!Bonus: My favorite animal is the majestic elephant, and while African elephants are present at Animal Kingdom, I don't think there are any ASIAN elephants, so add 'em to the Maharajah Jungle Trek.

-The Set Up-
It is the eve of the 2024 D23 Expo (August 2024) and you are in an Elevator with the head of Imagineering, Joe Disney!
Recently, Disney has developed a bit of a new tradition. Once a year, every year, they announce a brand new replacement for Dinoland USA at Animal Kingdom! In 2022, they announced it would be replaced with two mini-lands, one based on Moana/Polynesian Animals and the other based on Zootopia/Cops (DAK said ACAB, All Cops Are Bunnies). In 2023, they announced that Dinoland would be replaced by a larger Tropical Americas land anchored by Encanto and Indiana Jones attractions but the land was not directly based on either.
(Click the picture for a more detailed look at the current plan for the area)
Now we are fast approaching the 2024 D23 Expo and Joe Disney is panicking! They forgot to come up with an entirely different blue sky pitch to announce this year to replace Dinoland! We gotta keep this tradition alive! Quick, we need a new idea that doesn't reuse any of the past concepts!
-Challenge-
Pitch a new replacement for Dinoland U.S.A. in Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World.
You must include at least 1 IP, but you cannot include Moana, Zootopia, Encanto, or Indiana Jones.
-Rules-
-Deadline-
This project is due on Friday, January 19th at 11:59 PM WDW Time
(8:59 PM Disneyland Time)
5 days from now (extra day for a secret thing you'll see shortly)
-Tips-
K.I.S.S. – Keep it simple, silly. Try not to complicate or overthink things too much. It’s a simple, casual competition – there are no eliminations. Propose as you please, let your imagination soar!
-Judging Criteria-
Is it creative?
Is it (generally) realistic?
Does it fit thematically/visually?
BONUS: What's your favorite animal?
Add an animal exhibit for your favorite animal to Animal Kingdom.
I'm not worried about realism here, it's just for fun. It doesn't need to be in your land. If DAK already has your favorite animal, feel free to add a second exhibit!
You may use 1 Sentence and 1 Picture
This bonus results in automatic bonus point
Good luck everyone! If you have questions, please feel free to ask! Enjoy!

Looks like much of the natural choices have already been taken, so here goes...
In this tropical paradise (taking the place of DinoLand; a new prehistoric land is built on the massive pad beyond Kali River Rapids to offset the loss), guests can brave a jeep ride through the Anaconda Caverns (a rethemed Dinosaur), go on a bird-watching Snapshot Safari through Paradise Falls with Carl and Russell, and Escape from the Secret Lab with Kuzco. Animal exhibits here include llamas, giant anteaters, jaguars, an aviary of Amazonian birds, and an equally expansive array of lizards and frogs (among others), while an aerial carousel made up of bats and birds (a retheme of TriceraTop Spin) and a “caterpillar” ride (like Slinky Dog Spin in Walt Disney Studios, Hong Kong, and Shanghai) aboard a snake give the land its supporting round rides.
Giving credit to @D Hulk for coming up with the UP ride I mentioned in the above pitch - DisneySky is such a beautiful concept
Tropical Americas
revised edition
Yes, we’re still setting our sights on the Tropical Americas, but if we’re gonna put in some IPs, might as well put in some that actually fit...Bonus
The ocelot is one of the animals that call the Tropical Americas home.Giving credit to @D Hulk for coming up with the UP ride I mentioned in the above pitch - DisneySky is such a beautiful concept

A bit of a challenge with this one, but decided to throw caution to the wind and go with something dear to my heart and perfectly fits into Animal Kingdom's themes of wildlife, nature, and conservation.
The woods has an ancient, forgotten feel to it, with plenty of paths to explore and secrets to find, as well as three attractions to discover - Totoro Acorn Twirl, a spinner with acorn-shaped barrels, as Totoro spins to propel the wind around him (replacing Triceratop Spin); Tanuki Temple, a whizzy dark ride through the temples of the shapeshifting Tanuki from Pom Poko; and The River of the Great Forest Spirit, an outdoor-indoor boat ride based on Princess Mononoke which replaces Dinosaur, where guests dare to drift through the realm of spirits, from giant wolves and boars, to the innocent Kodama, before a dramatic close encounter with the Great Forest Spirit himself, who ushers us away before he transforms into the gigantic Nightwalker.
Forgot to add in the bonus!
BONUS: The Capybara!
Elephants are actually my favourite animal, but the capybara is too cool an animal to not include, having a small but comfy watery enclosure which is shared with other animals, since the capybara gets on with everybody.
TOTORO HILLS
Totoro Hills is a tribute to the animated films of Studio Ghibli, whisking guests away to a deep Japanese woodland full of bamboo paths, large camphor trees, and plenty of animal exhibits including: martens, red foxes, tanuki (raccoon dogs), Asian black bears, a pool of giant spider crabs, both sika and yaku deer, a small bug house featuring an array of Japanese insects, and the iconic red crowned cranes.

The Tropical Americas is a land that takes guests to 3 locations within the Tropical Americas: the island of Cuba, the Amazon Rainforest, and a Lost City located within the Andes. Cuba is represented by Cuba: Jewel Of The Caribbean, an EMV replacement for Dinosaur that takes guests through Old Havana, Humboldt Forest, the Gardens Of The Queen reef, the prehistoric Caves, and the Zapata Wetlands, while the Amazon River Adventure takes guests on a boat ride through the rainforest, encountering the many animals that call it home. The Lost City takes guests through the ruins of the once-great Inca Empire, passing exhibits for the animals that call the Andes home.
Bonus: This is the Quetzal
