I think as I already mentioned, that they will clone the show scenes as much as they can and retrofit the existing ride system.i dont think it will be a clone as they use 2 completely different ride systems. Maybe they gut the entire ride though??? But if they did that, hopefully they could save the dino/IJ ride system and move it to another location, idealy DHS.
There's no room for that, and Shanghai was already designed when the concept art was made, so differences were likely intentional.Yeah, I really don't understand how anyone can use the current "concept art" we have and pretend we're not getting the same thing as Shanghai.
What acquisitions didn't the company need? Personally, Fox is the only one they could've done without in my opinion.
Pixar, Marvel & Star Wars have helped launch Disney into the entertainment powerhouse it is today.
Oh my gosh. I feel like I’m trying to explain rocket science.There

There's such a thing has being too cynical.
I agree with you that there are so many places this answer could go, and it is super complex. For one, I don’t believe that the general public views Marvel or Star Wars as “Disney”. Especially not Fox. The Marvel films have aiding in financially supporting the company. I’ve been fighting this on here for weeks, but Star Wars is not dying. Yes the sequels had mixed reviews, but Mando, Andor, Obi-Wan, and Ashoka (to be released) have all been very popular and successful. I think if done right, the new films will create a real resurgence of the brand.There's a lot of places that an answer to this question could go, but simply put I believe that Marvel, Fox, and Lucasfilm were all unnecessary acquisitions that have diluted the Disney brand. Fox was the biggest mistake, though severe mismanagement/office politics at Lucasfilm is slowly killing Star Wars.
I wholeheartedly agree with this.Essentially, the company has grown too big for its own good.
Again, the building where Dinosaur probably is is a train station, not the police station, so the ride will have a different theme, at least.Oh my gosh. I feel like I’m trying to explain rocket science.
We are clearly not getting the full city that Shanghai is getting, but it is fully probable that they are going to gut the interior of Dinosaur and replace with, as close to a copy of the Shanghai Zootopia attraction.
Gotcha. Time will tell.Again, the building where Dinosaur probably is is a train station, not the police station, so the ride will have a different theme, at least.

This is the "Disney Princess" model of branding. Each princess by herself has her own 'brand' and merchandising power, but put them all together and you have the *synergy* of "Disney Princess" which is more than the sum of its parts.Whether the general public views Marvel/Lucas as Disney or not, Disney sure wants them to and is working overtime to make it happen. From Disney+ to Disney100 promotional materials and merchandise, it's clear that the company wants the world to know that it's all about Marvel, Star Wars, and Avatar (with a dash of Simpsons and Pixar on the side).
^^Which by the way, makes total sense from a financial/Wall Street point of view. Why promote *Disney* when Black Panther and Avatar each earn north of $1b at the box office? Why spend $$$ cultivating talent within WDAS or WDP when the company can just buy its way into profits via corporate takeover?

Trackless, police chase. Don’t really know specifics aside from that. They’ve released very little detailsDo we even know what the Shanghai ride system is?
To add to this, Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage and The Seas with Nemo and Friends are very different ride systems and yet share a lot in terms of their story and even some show effects. Overall show ideas and certain effects can be brought over. The EMV vehicles would work pretty well for a chase concept.Oh my gosh. I feel like I’m trying to explain rocket science.

This is what we were all saying. They wouldn't "gut" Dinosaur. They'd remove all the show scenes, replace them with the ones from or similar to the Shanghai attraction and reprogram the Dinosaur EMVs.That doesn't really make any sense though. The main ride at Shanghai is an LPS trackless one very different from the ride setup for Dinosaur. We've recently been told that Zootopia was moving forward because they could build it "quickly" by replacing Dinosaur. If they have to gut Dinosaur and just use the walls to put in a new ride, that would probably be just as long and perhaps even longer than simply doing a new build.
I could certainly see some of the scenes being the same between Florida and Shanghai but it's very likely the ride experiences will be quite different.
I slapped together a quick mockup of what they could do. Definitely not great, but it was super quick. Put the city facade a little further back than I have it in the picture, stick the train station top on top of the dinosaur building, and repaint/redesign the front of the Dinosaur building.I can see them slapping on a flat front city facade to the dinosaur building,,,yeah that would be just like them to do.
