What's After Everest?

[Lynx04]

-Depending on the success of Everest, something big is coming to Animal Kingdom

Can someone explain to me how the success of EE has any impact on whether or not AK will get another attraction? I don't see any relation between the two. Either way AK will need additional attractions. Whether it is for crowd control or just to bring people into the park.

One thing is for sure, EE will be a success, EE is probably the most anticapted attraction since TT or RnR. Even with all of these other additions going on, EE is on top of the list of "can't wait". If EE was not popular, I am sure they would make it popular by removing the Yeti and putting Stitch in its place. They would also put a Stitch rock climber scaleing the side of the mountain. :lookaroun :hurl:

I'm a Lupin III/Nausicaa/Laputa/Totoro/Kiki/Porco Rosso/Mononoke/Spirited Away nut, so Disney should build a "Miyazaki Studios" @ Disney-MGM Studios, since they have the "distribution rights" to these films. It should be a small area, with maybe only one or two attractions, based on the films of Studio Ghibli.

I have no idea what's going on right now. :lookaroun

I doubt there is any correlation between the success of EE and future expansion of AK. AK is in need of expansion more than any other park at WDW. The only logical way I could see EE negatively effecting expansion is if it was a complete bust and I don’t see that happening. As you pointed out before this is the most anticipated ride in recent memory. If we throw logic out the window the accountaneers could say the EE was so successful and has raised park attendance so much that further expansion is not warranted. If that was the case the attendance spike would be short term only and we know that Disney never makes huge decisions based on short term numbers. :lol:

Me neither. I kind of went past that post and said mmkay….

 

[Goofster]

ugh...anime at Disney World? Nah. Not that I don't respect the artists, it's just not my cup of tea.

I'd love to see the imagineers actually put something into the Streets of America. They've got all that great theming now and it's just a facade. I'd love to see them squeeze in a Hyperion-like Theater into the New York set, maybe call it the New Amsterdam or something like that and put in a big Aladdin-like Broadway style show. Or even that Martin Short Cinemagique show from Paris that sounds pretty cool. All of this of course only happening after they replace the indy show with a souped up indy ride.

 

[Shaman]

Simply put....they lied.

Nothing!

At least... regarding DAK

You gotta give us more than that....pllleeeeeaaasseee......

Any juicy rumors of projects that have any chance of actually being green lit?


(Had to try...:kiss: )

 

[testtracker]

=raises hand= I do!

anyway, rumours have been brewing all weekend over at the WDWmagic general topics forum about BIG things coming to WDW after the 50th.

the original rumour basically said:

-100 acre Wood would be accompanied by a major E-ticket in Fantasyland

-that would then be followed by another E-ticket in Adventureland

-The Indy Stunt Show is going down, replaced by another E-ticket

-Depending on the success of Everest, something big is coming to Animal Kingdom

-and A LOT of changes and surprises await Epcot's 25th

for now they are rumours, and pretty vague ones at that but there is a sort of way to confirm his legitimacy since he predicted that the Epcot wand goes down in the 50th. If it does then the rumours he said might actually be legit........ here's to hoping

3 E-tickets in the same park and nothing for MGM (studios whatever)? I think that EE success will affect DAK. Lets say it becomes hugely popular and lines are 2 hours. Why would they turn around and build another right away? they would just compete against each other.

EE will undoubtedly increase AK's attendance probably up to the point where it's on par with MGM (and maybe even Epcot). Another animal walk through would make the park as much of a full day park as MGM is. I recognize nobody on here likes Din-o-rama but you can't completely discount it's existence.

I'm hoping to see some major enhancements in Epcot. The whole premise behind Futureworld is that it involves the future ... that's right, FUTURE. Several of the attractions are antiquated and need updating or at least some TLC.

Sorry Epcot - I had to say it. You're still my favorite park though ..

I hate Dino-Rama. Animal Kingdom is not a crnival fair. There isn't any Dumbo in Epcot and MGM and why it has to be here. When Disney tries to find an excuse of not having lots of thrill rides by the statemet like "this is an unique educational natural adventure that rides cannot provide", they should be shame that there's dumbo inside the park. I am not against dumbos but they should at least try to make it a better look like Astro Orbit. That's the only place isn't themed into the atmopshere. But hey one place could ruin the whole park where Animal Kingdom is the most beautifully themed park I've ever seen.

OK. I was just visiting the beginning of February. A CM told me and my hubby that her hubby works for the construction company contracted with Disney. He has been clearing 100 acres by Animal Kingdom and was told that it was for a new Villians park. He was told that since they scrapped the park in Virginia they are moving that money to this new project that was supposed to be a big secret.

She said since people have been complaining about coming back every couple of years and the only thing that changes is some of the paint on the buildings. (Me for one)! I don't know if anyone else know of this but she said it was supposed to be very large and scary high tech steel rollercoasters!

I guess we can only hope.

I know you're new here... but I'm sorry to have to agree with everyone else... you were flat lied to... or the person that told you that is a bus driver... SORRY... that was mean... but true. If you ever want to hear about what is NOT coming to WDW... ask a bus driver.

I agree, to a point. I think that Dino-Rama is cleverly themed, however, I don't feel that it's theme fits with the rest of AK. AK makes you feel like you're in the middle of the jungle on a safari, exploring and finding animals in their natural habitat. Dino-rama sticks out like a sore thumb. It doesn't fit in with the rest of the park. I went to AK for the first time in Jan, and kept an open mind. Primeval Whirl was fun, and the theming is cool, but it just doesn't match the rest of the park. It's too gawdy, bright and colorful. The rest of AK is lush, earthtones with a sense of "realism" brought to each area.

 

[RSoxNo1]

Din-O-Land USA doesn't exactly fit in with the rest of the park if that's what you're saying.

DinORama was meant to be a carnival atmosphere with "cheap" rides and attractions and that's exactly what it is. Just because people don't like it, doesn't mean it's not there and shouldn't be considered part of the park.

You're right that MGM or Epcot doesn't have the dumbo style rides. Heck, the Magic Kingdom has three of them and just because Astro Orbiter is elevated doesn't really make it much better. Primevil Whirl isn't exactly a great ride either, but again, it has the carnival atmosphere nailed down. Because it's a coaster it qualifies as a thrill ride. I know that sounds somewhat ignorant but it's true. Sure it's not on par with other E-Ticket attractions in the Animal Kingdom like the Safari, Dinosaur or Kali (yes, Kali) but it can't be completely discounted.

People keep complaining about how the Animal Kingdom is an incomplete park, and when Everest is completed I just don't see it. You'll have Everest, two amazing walk throughs (+ other animals off the beaten path), Dinosaur, Lion King and the Safari as must sees each and every day. Tack on Kali if it's hot out and "Tough to be a Bug" if you're into that sort of thing. Compared to MGM - AK may be more of a full day park once Everest is completed.

At MGM you'll have RnR, ToT, LMA, GMR, Muppets and Millionare.

The reason is because they may need to add another attraction for crowd control. Either to draw guests to another part of the park, or soak up guests that are just walking or standing around. If AK starts bringing in a lot of guest they will need to place more attractions to build ride cap. EE is a win-win situation.

Not only will it bring in the guest but it will present more needs that the park has to address.

fantasyland needs a big e ride in the worse way after losing 20 k....we dont need a walk in the woods with pooh!!!!:hurl:

Fantasy Land lost 20 k several years ago, and 20k was not an E-Ticket attraction. Winnie the Pooh and Peter Pan generally have waits of over 1/2 an hour (generally over an hour for Pan) because the rides don't have the largest capacity. Lynx is right with his/her thinking - Crowd control has to be addressed when it comes to some of these newer attractions. It was addressed with Mission: Space, and it looks to have been addressed with Soarin' and EE. A high capacity E-Ticket in Fantasy land should not be at the top of Disney's to do list, the next big E-Ticket should be going to MGM. Many of us hope/speculate that it's gonna be the Indiana Jones ride from WDL.

call me crazy but I just can't see the Indy Adventure ride properly "fitting in" with the over-all theme of MGM. The Indy Stunt show is in my opinion perfect for the park (and don't give me any of that crap about "2 stunt shows can't co-exist" since LMAX is all about the cars whereas Indy is more on human stunts) and that replacing it with a ride that gives the illusion that Indy is "real" takes away from the "Hollywood" theme of the park.

sure one could argue that Star Tours would be the same as the Indy ride in terms that it is in the sense of a "real" experience I just think that keeping the Indy stunt show would keep the park a bit more on its over-all theme.

I know we've all been dying to have a Floridian version of the indy ride but I just think I'd prefer having it somewhere else and not in MGM.

If they do replace the Indy stunt show I think they should go for something new and different again. (hopefully something that concerns "Alias" or "Lost" but that's just me )

...just my two cents

The “lost” concept might not be far off. Any one remember the plane that Disney was blowing up near WL a few weeks back. Maybe it was some preliminary testing for a “lost” stunt show.

 

[jaredliu]

How about a Jugle Indy Ride at Animal Kingdom? I don't really like that idea since animals will be the stars rather than Dr. Jones or archeological stuff. But when roaming around in Aisa, I couldn't help relating to the theming of Indy ride at DL. I LOVE those beautiful architecture and antique but maybe Indy won't fit into the park, I guess.

 

[Bullredchaser]

I thought that after Everest a new Theme Park was being made.Wasn't 2007 the date that coincides with past WDW park openings?
