I love posts like this, cause it lets the imagination go wild, even if our mind comes up with possibilities that really just aren't that real, we don't know that yet based on what you just said!

Any chance at a significant new live animal exhibit (I'd consider Gorilla Falls or Maharajah Jungle Trek significant).

If they added an exhibit of that length/detail, a substantial dark ride, and a Dinorama replacement, AK would be about as perfect as a theme park could get.

Am wondering that, too! Is Tomorrowland news affecting SC in some way?

With Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey shutting down. It is very likely the next generation of kids won't know what a Circus is. @Eddie Sotto, more or less forecasted this back when Storybook Circus was first announced.

I hope DAK gets something especially a major overhaul of dinorama or an expansion but I highly doubt anything would be looked at to open within this decade 2017-2027. Hopefully I'm wrong but with Epcot needing work and DHS probably needing more after SWL and TSL I just doubt they'll get to DAK

True, but the entire land of Liberty Square does not revolve around certain props. Storybook Circus is not a strong enough concept to me to be worth saving and the fact that the next generation will not know what a circus is just drives home that point. Keep in mind it is supposed to be MK's "Kids Area".
I'd be surprised if nothing's happened by 2027.

I see this in sort of two ways:
- If Avatarland is a big success and brings in the crowds, AK is going to be in dire need of even more ride capacity. The park still doesn't have enough on a good day, and especially so in the evenings and during inclement weather.
- If Avatarland isn't a big hit, then Disney is going to need to add something else or risk AK getting left behind (again) as MK, Epcot, and DHS all get their new attractions and/or expansions.

That sounds promising. I'm shocked and I mean this in a good way that they didn't or aren't trying to cram zootopia in considering the films success.

Well, it's more themed to Dumbo, which centers around a circus, and they're giving us a live action version no one seems to be asking for ... but I get what you're saying. However it's going to be a long time before the circus is out of the minds of folks. JMO. I don't like the land either, apart from the train station, so I'm not defending it, and it seems a lot of wasted space that should have been used better, they were just lazy and wanted to save the circus tents from Toontown Faire. (And instead of a water play area they could have copied the Casey Jr. Circus Train ride ...)

Old West towns are kind of out of vogue now, too, and yet we keep Frontierland. Storybook Circus will be fine.

Would Dinorama's replacement still be Dino-themed?
Pass. One would assume so.

It still features in plenty of cartoons. My kids know what a circus is and they've never been to one.

It appears that they are finally starting to work on the entrance.
