Worse, it might just be the boat ride. Or a few FoP VR glasses in a booth.

Surely they would punch up the boat ride if they were to build it at DSP . . . right??

I tend to think the ride is more handsome than it gets credit for, but the ride is just begging for more animatronics. Improved ride length and additional AA's would almost certainly be necessary to justify its standalone construction.

Lin Manuel Miranda said they were working on a large Encanto presence in the parks. I thought a cheap but fun decoration would be a casita with moving tiles etc, with periodic light shows or meet and greets. It would at least break up the trees and nothing surrounding most of the lake

Despite personally wanting GE (even lite) as opposed to Avland for reasons I’ve mentioned earlier, I also sincerely hope they wouldn’t build a boat ride next to a boat ride at WDSP.

Here is another comment by Bob Iger from yesterday's webcast on what his plans for a continued success of the parks are:

“Lastly, we have learned that when we invest in increasing capacity — the Star Wars lands were a great example of that, Pandora was a great example of that — we can grow our business. In fact, if you look at the results when we put Pandora at Animal Kingdom, from year to year they were stunning at how many more people were visiting Animal Kingdom. I mentioned earlier in the call how we’re going to bring a version of Avatar to Disneyland. We have other opportunities as well. I’ve talked to Josh D’Amaro about this very recently, like this morning, to really look at all the great franchises in the company and see where we can invest in them into the parks to increase capacity while preserving guest satisfaction.” (Disney’s Q1 FY23 Earnings Results Webcast)

On the one hand it confirms again that anything major new in the parks will be related to one of the company's big franchises in the near future. On the other hand, it is also clear that business growth is no longer expected to just come from price hikes & extra fees but from increasing the capacity. I hope Bob will soon visit DLP and apply the same strategy here as well.

For the Avatar experience in Disneyland Resort, I would not be surprised if they are starting with a Star Wars Launch Bay type of attraction to be followed up with an actual ride (FoP?) in the future.

What's wrong with two boat rides? Especially when they offer something WDSP is severely lacking in dark rides? Isn't it a bit like the omnimover debate when people say Magic Kingdom shouldn't have Haunted Mansion and Little Mermaid because they are all the "same" ride? Or the same principle with Pirates and IASW?

Yeah I think all 3 lands should.have a major water ride and water feature that looks like it connects to the lake like frozen land does

They’re not side by side in the MK. I’d hope somewhere as ride lite as WDSP would have more variety (not to mention the Avland boat ride is poor even by WDSP standards)

Damn I drew this seeing Martin's reply but I very much agree with all of this :)
Soo if we want to go dream mode, my perfect DLP, and a much better WDSP (ideally you'd have lands all around the lake with rocky mountains, including SW, Frozen, Avatar and Cars, but that's a lot of money)

What about a area theme to The Simpsons? Since Disney can’t put The Simpsons in both US parks they could be in the international parks plus The Simpsons is kinda popular in Europe.

Isn't there an Avatar walkthrough in Shanghai? I wouldn't be surprised if they ship everything over to Anaheim after that experience closes in March and install it in Star Wars Launch Bay (perhaps in time for the centennial day in October). Long-term-wise, I personally don't think they'll add FoP in Anaheim (seeing as Soarin' is just next door in DCA), but I think we could be waving goodbye to an existing attraction that will be removed to make way for an Avatar-themed attraction.

I wouldn’t mind an Indiana Jones Land! Of course it would fit better into Adventureland, but I don’t expect big expansions in DLP at the moment

What about the Muppets? I would not see this as a major expansion area. But having some New York Street set with some Muppet meet & greet or little show should not be that expensive and add new scenery.

Maybe elsewhere (replace Aladdin maybe) but I’d rather the lake aims for more… ambitious projects
