Here's a quote from the Melody Malmberg book saying constructionon AK began in August 1995:
"Back at Imagineering there was elation, adulation and frantic activity. Jack Blitch recalls the fallout [of the announcement]: "Everyone realised it's a real project!" Bids on contracts came in on or under budget. The earth-moving for Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park began in August. With opening day set for Spring 1998, a mere two-and-a-half years remained to build Disney's largest-ever theme park."

Thank you. That's the first reference to actual construction timelines I've ever seen when it comes to AK.

I appreciate the effort on that and I'll shut up now. (well, about this, anyway :) )

No worries. I do recommend Melody Malmberg's "The Making of Animal Kingdom" for anyone interested in AK's history as the park's development went through a lot of changes from 1989 to the announcement in 1995

What is Bob waiting to move the defunct triceratops spin ride to Toy Story land with simple and easy cosmetics change to fit Trixie ??

Or the plan is to wait 24 years like with Monster Incs door coaster??

Can’t happen, then. Or at least not in the next 3 years.

Interesting statement I agree that it won't happen but that it can't happen in the next 3 years. In the hypothetical that they haven't yet destroyed it, In the next 3 years, if they wanted to, they couldn't move triceratopspin to toy story Land?

DHS could use a water ride. If we're talking expansion. Is there room for a Battleships boardgame "come to life" attraction. While we're at it, I think it's time for TSM to get an overhaul. Maybe have an area where we venture into Sid's room and it gets weird. OR A Halloween overlay. Damn this land is lame. Even the theme isn't fully realized.

Maybe by the time Toy Story 8 hits we'll get a land refresh.

where would you put the battleship game? The land is kind of landlocked. There is probably just enough room to put in a spinner, but not much else?
