Alicia Stella is reporting that this will be quickly replaced with another pre-fab coaster or flat ride. Will be interesting to see what happens.

has the station building been demolished?

I hope that's inaccurate.

If they throw something else up there quickly, I'm guessing they'll leave the whole area as is for another decade.

I don't have a problem with that, but it would be nice if they could at least put multiple rides up. It was weird to only have two rides (even worse now with one of them gone) when you have multiple in for example It's a Bug's Land. DAK could use some smaller rides for children/less thrill seekers anyway.

I don't have a big problem with Dinorama staying if they would actually add more attractions elsewhere in the park. The park does need more overall "stuff" to do. In fact, each land would pretty much benefit from another addition or two. If they would build up the rest of the park, then they would have better capacity to close Dinorama and put something higher quality there.

I’ve always thought they should clear that area out and put a Finding Nemo land since it’s right next to the theater in the wild. Either put an enhanced Crush’s Coaster from Paris or a version of the underwater Nemo ride in Tokyo but with screens all around the vehicle to make it feel more Immersive.

I'm under the impression that she intended that as well-founded speculation.

There's two factions on this: quick replacement (would likely be something like a pre-fab coaster, likely even sticking with existing themes) (also, quick=2024/*maybe* late 2023).
Other intends to save it as something of a plot intended for a major addition. That would likely not get used in the vicinity of 2025-6.

That’s a Sophie’s choice if I’ve ever heard one. On one hand, AK absolutely needs a new attraction by 2023 at the latest, but on the other, it also needs large-scale investment, not just a pre-fab ride dropped into Dino-Rama.

Nah. It would be a seamless transition from Asia.

Nah. It would be a bad fit like Wakanda, because there's no way they would build an area based on a Marvel movie and make it entirely about nature and animals. It would almost certainly be about the actual characters with everything else as a backdrop.

Pandora only works to the extent it does because it's entirely about nature (and also had Joe Rohde involved); it has nothing to do with any characters from the movie. Disney's not going to build something related to Marvel and not actually make it about Marvel.

Oh man...just watched Shang-Chi....can we please build a land based on Talo???

We can make it work, it has animals! 😂

I’ve said before that a land in DHS that is Chinese themed where you have Shang Chi (going to Ta Lo sounds good) and Doctor Strange in the Hong Kong Sanctum would be a good way to bring in Marvel to WDW using the properties that are allowed. Add some other stuff to fill that could be allowed (SHIELD, Eternals, maybe Moon Knight might be okay or something with Skrulls (Secret Invasion))

Another one: Iron Man isn’t at Uni. We know he’s not allowed at WDW, but I wonder if Ironheart would be okay since Tony Stark is not at Uni. Like she’s not really in the “family” of anyone at Uni. Would be a good way to bring some inclusiveness to WDW too (as is Shang Chi which is another reason to add that property)

It's funny, but I'm less interested in the characters/Marvel aspect...would just want the land to be built! If someone could create Talo with all the mythical creatures, the actual Marvel characters would be secondary. Or like Raya and The Last Dragon. The kingdom is just so imaginative.

Kind of like Pandora, but better. ;)

Iron Man is in the Avengers 'family' and can't be used by Disney Orlando.
