It will be purple, and it will have an ILL to have your photo taken for the low low price of $9.

Dinoland, as a whole, needs a complete redevelopment. And that includes Dinosaur.
Holy hell is this ride awful. In fact, it's now only a "ride" inasmuch as you're in a vehicle that moves.
I'm willing to let the embarrassingly dated pre-show slide, but the ride itself basically doesn't exist - it's pretty much just being jostled in PURE DARK with a half dozen glimpses of broken, stationary animatronics.
Just unbelievably embarrassing they allow this to stay open in the state it is currently in.

And to think that this ride is a "duplicate" of the Indiana Jones ride at DLR! I think our family likes Dino better than you you. But, I never got the level of detail that's supposedly here that's at the same level as Indy. The queue is great. The ride? Not so much.

When compared to Indiana Jones, I'm inclined to agree. When you see what Universal has done overseas you really see it missing it's mark.
That being said, It's a solid enough ride and I'd much rather see them add to the park than replace. A new attraction or two in the Dinorama plot should happen before any replacement to DINOSAUR is considered.

We will replace the wonderful land of dinos.
You will get a D - E ticket and a C - D ticket ride, a counter serve and restrooms. Oh no shade and you better be happy with what you get
Light theming and dead end paths will be included.

I think the OP was mostly referring to the recent fact that not many of the Dino’s are “attacking” at the current moment…

This is correct. I've ridden it in 2000 (when it was the far superior Countdown to Extinction), 2011, 2014, 2017, and then just two weeks ago.
I was shocked at how bad it was. 90% of the ride was simply empty blackness with some jostling and lots of noise. I can only recall one (of the very few lit) animatronics that was actually moving. It was just terrible.
Normally I'd have re-ridden immediately since it was still a walk-on but we chose to just meander through Asia and wait for Kali to open.

Dino is a notorious attraction for going in waves when it comes to maintenance. The attraction will go months with multiple effects out, then multiple months with 1 effect out at most. One of the most inconsistent attractions for maintenance in my experience.

I really think the leader in the clubhouse for the next ride added to DAK is Mystic Manor. This is 100% a hunch, based on logic. Something that's largely frowned upon in today's park decisions.
What I think should happen is a Shang Chi boat ride and Mystic Manor, both on the right side of the park.

I think there will be a Mystic-Manor like ride, but it will be Encanto themed. Not sure which park.

Encanto probably belongs in DHS or MK. The animal ties to put in DAK would focus the attraction too heavily on a single tertiary character.

Wouldn't that be redundant since Disney World already has a Haunted Mansion?
Rides without a pre-existing IP often don't have a main character (e.g., Haunted Mansion, BTM). The Pandora rides don't have any of the main characters, just tertiary world-building stuff. Falcon has Hondo. There's an attraction to meet Crush, a tertiary character in Nemo.
Also, Chapek called Encanto a franchise, so... all the minor characters are going to be developed in future movies and D+ series. Antonio appears with Mirabel in the DL parade.
A ride through Antonio's door to see much of the South American flora and fauna would be great, especially if coupled with an expansion of 'the zoo' with actual South American animals.
A South America Land in DAK would fit Encanto, UP!, and Emperor's New Groove, and the Three Caballeros as supporting characters.

My issue with the current state of the company is that even if they announce something, I can’t trust that it will get built until we are able to ride it. I know there have been canceled projects in the past but I feel like it’s all too common these days and the new normal. :-(
With that being said, I fully expect a dinoland expansion announcement at D23. Just what we end up getting is the question.

They’re building TRON next to Space Mountain. So no.

If we ever got Mystic Manor, I’d never leave. Seriously would be ecstatic.

No, not at all. Not really all that similar of rides and it would be in a different park anyway.
Mystic Manor is exactly the type of ride that DAK needs.
