Genuinely can we like all email the site's new owner and ask them to revert back to the old version. I was so disappointed when I opened the site for the first time in a few months today and discovered that it's just a generic blog now.
There’s a page on WDWThemeParks you should read that explains the history of the site with its different versions. (You’ll find a link to it at the bottom of the home page).

Needless to say “ reverting back to the old version” isn’t really an option - without a certain key player. 😉 But I totally respect the decision he made (even though my answer to the rhetorical question asked by Tim in his message is YES).

That said, I miss the Rumor Tracker too.

Is that what we have for recently rumored developments:
  • Indy (Dinoland) in new Tropical Americas land
  • Encanto (Dinoland) in new Tropical Americas land
  • Coco Caroussel (Dinoland) in new Tropical Americas land
  • Unnamed Attraction at AK (@marni1971); probably boat ride
  • Unnamed Attraction at DHS (NW of Launch Bay but fluid)
  • Beyond Big Thunder Mountain new Theme land featuring:
    • Moana Boat ride potentially
    • Soarin 3.0 potentially (Coco?)
Am I missing anything?

Animal Kingdom: Indiana Jones Adventure, Encanto dark ride, Central American animals throughout the land Tropical America’s replacing Dinoland AND a Lion King ride for Africa, Zootopia show replacing “It’s tough to be a bug,” and a new night show with more fountains and drones.

Magic Kingdom:
Site work to begin shortly for what amounts to a Frontierland expansion and a new Villains Land the size of Galaxy’s Edge. Additionally, the Moana boat ride originally slated for Animal Kingdom will go in Adventureland between Pirates and Jungle Cruise. Tomorrowland Speedway will be different. Big Thunder Mountain receives an update. Stitch will not be in its current state for much longer. New Night Parade.

Epcot: Test Track redo opens summer of 2025, The Spaceship Earth update will likely be announced and will start once Test Track comes back online. I’d expect to hear one more announcement for EPCOT. Keep a close eye on the Figment project on Disney Plus.

Hollywood Studios: New land to replace Launch Bay. Rock n’ Rollercoaster retheme as well. Falcon mission update.

Disneyland Resort: New, unique Avatar land using the Shanghai pirates boat technology at DLR. PeopleMover comes back in a new way at Disneyland Park alongside significant changes to the land. Hollywoodland will go away. A Disney Springs-esque shopping district will be officially announced alongside plans for a new transit configuration for the resort. The Avenger’s E-ticket gets an actual announcement.

Walt Disney Studios:
Gets its own Avatar land and a Lion King land. Other misc. project in the existing part of the park.

Disneyland Parc Paris:
A larger than Soarin’ sum, so perhaps Soarin’/Soaring 2.0, Indiana Jones Adventure, or even a new version of Rise of the Resistance. I’d fully expect either a new land or two new rides including an E-ticket in total. Space Mountain will be back at DLP!

Shanghai:
New Marvel Land, Toy Story Mania as well.

Hong Kong will get an E-ticket in Tomorrowland still.

Animal Kingdom:
  • Tropical America’s replacing Dinoland
    • Indiana Jones Adventure,

I don’t think Drones should be listed anymore under the night parade section since Steve pretty much said it will be an actual parade.

As a note, they've added 'I've heard Inside Out' after commenting about Figment. Take that as you will.

@BasiltheBatLord what do you think, do you want to update our DLR Rumor tracker?

Did another quick update. Mostly around the EPCOT stuff removing some old stuff (2017). Added some stuff to the current Coco and Moana MK rumors.
