You literally wrote "gut the interior of Dinosaur" in what I quoted.

Hmm...let's see...yep..got it.
I present to you, the new Zootopia Attraction at Disney's Animal Kingdom!

Yes. But not to replace the track/ride system. Semantics and my poor choice of words.
My intention was to say that, they will gut the show scenes and replace them, keeping the same ride system.
Think Splash Mountain ——-> Tiana’s Bayou Adventure

Rumors have it the new Indy movie will feature time travel. Sounds like potential for Indians Jones Adventure meets Dinosaur. It would be a weird fit but still somehow feels better than Zootopia to me.

I like having animals of past, present and fiction represented. It would be a real bummer to lost Dinoland. Imo, DAK’s Dinoland is better than JP at IOA.
Ultimately if we lose Dinoland, it’ll be because Disney never could launch a successful Dinosaur franchise.
I’m kinda hoping the Florida drama halts funding of the project.

Why do you think a train station would indicate a chase?

Cant speak for him, but for myself, the concept art is super vague. It is so much more probable to think that they’re going to copy and paste the chase attraction from Shanghai Disneyland. Especially since the whole concept of Dinosaur is you’re chasing after the Iguanadon

I don't know how true this is, but from my understanding Dinoland is actually the closest they've come to a successful dinosaur franchise. People still spend their money on dinosaurs, apparently, cheesy environment or scary ride aside.
You'd think that capitalizing on something that's well established to be a consistent gold mine but that they haven't managed to create a well liked film for would be something good for the parks, but apparently not.

I can't guarantee that they won't do 1000 bizarre things, but the one detailed part of the Zootopia concept image is the train station.
So, they could change, but somehow, at one point, trains or transportation would be involved.

A chase through the different biomes (or whatever they called them) could be interesting as well. I just don’t see them retrofitting each of the Dinosaur cars into individual train cars since that wouldn’t really match that aesthetic.
I also can’t guarantee they’ll do what I’m suggesting. Which is one of the great things about this forum, we can all spitball our theories, and ideas and see what actually comes to fruition.

It may be the vagueness, but the Animal Kingdom city lacks the downtown ads and the metal look. It looks like a city in the distance, instead of a downtown square experience.
Cross fingers?

How does a building indicate boats? You’re reading way too much into completely unrelated things trying to piece together something that is not nor has to be there. The chase starts at the train station, problem solved. Whatever they’re doing is to reuse the ride system, so you’re not getting into a vehicle that will look much like a train.

The thought in the back of my mind is that you might take a train or tram to another part of the park, maybe even in what is now the SE parking lot.
Unless people are
.Boats? Boatniks??
Hmmm...
The Shanghai ride front is the police station, so why change that? Simply to indicate that you're leaving Animal Kingdom?

The Moana “concept art” (I don’t like to call it that bc this isn’t even real concept art) is way more specific, but the Zootopia art is super vague. As I already mentioned, we have zero idea what is to come, but it’s far more likely that they will replicate the Zootopia car chase attraction, than create something brand new.
Time will tell what is to come, especially if we see the Zootopia attraction opens in Shanghai before they announce more about this expansion.

Could the the area around Dinoland be Bunnyburrow, and the train ride be the pre-show?
You seem certain of this. May I ask why?

Two reasons: 1) cost 2) space, below is a map of the area you mentioned, to the right side of Dinosaur is the berm between the park and the parking lot, can't really expand that way. To the left is some backstage facilities, I'm unsure of what these are, but I don't think they want this to be a high cost project (the Zootopia portion)
As many insiders have suggested, they're looking to do Zootopia cheap and quick.
Retrofitting a Zootopia attraction into the pre-existing Dinosaur makes the most logical sense (for Disney).
Think Malestrom to FEA, or Splash to TBA.

It is a retheme of Dinosaur.
