Ah, I forgot about that. That's still a pretty old addition though.Pirates was an addition.
MK is due for an actual expansion north of Big Thunder.

Yeah, you'd think they'd be pushing for Moana to have a presence in Magic Kingdom since all of the other princesses are in that park. Especially since they have want to do something with MK next.
I think MK's Adventureland is one of the lands that most needs an update. I'm pretty sure the only addition it's ever gotten is the stupid Dumbo carpets ride.
If I recall correctly, the screens only replaced sets and animatronics in the first scene, which primarily functioned to hide the parking garage from the ride. I was slightly bitter about the Mosasaurus scene before riding it, but it’s very impressive in person.Jurassic Park River Adventure is really falling apart as well… which is sad, because Dinosaur and River Adventure are my two favorite rides at their respective parks. River Adventure still has a bunch of construction walls surrounding the animatronic in the first scene, and hadrosaurs that don’t come out of the water (there are also more broken AAs that are less integral to the ride). If Jurassic Park River Adventure had the sheer number of animatronics that Dinosaur has going for it, it would easily be one of the best theme park rides ever IMO. Sadly, River Adventure will likely be rethemed, like Dinosaur, as most rides that are neglected by Universal do. I like the Jurassic World version, but I prefer real sets to screens any day. The same will be true when they retheme Dinosaur. The beautiful AAs will be replaced with projectors with little to no maintenance cost or downtime.
Just seeking clarification as this has now reached 167 pages - is there anything actually concrete or is it just posters hoping and playing 'imagineering' ???
Nah, I think Adventureland is the best place for Moana. Her tropical theming would work perfectly there & the movie itself is an adventure movie.Does feel like a lot of stuff they want to add (IP/princesses) would fit best in Fantasyland - Moana, Tiana, Encanto, etc ....
And after seeing the latest for the expansion at Disney Sea makes me realize even more how the theme and design of that park is so genius as it is basically an entire park of Fantasyland

That’s what many people don’t understand on here. No matter how much they add to other parks, MK still has a capacity problem.IMO, MK is the park least in need of additions apart from a nighttime parade, they should go back and fix DHS instead of messing up MK.
I’m shocked that Stitch’s Great Escape still just sits there.That’s what many people don’t understand on here. No matter how much they add to other parks, MK still has a capacity problem.
They need to expand MK and reopen shuttered dining locations & attractions.
yeah, unless the 5th gate is a 2nd Magic Kingdom, they need to continually add capacity room to the existing MKThat’s what many people don’t understand on here. No matter how much they add to other parks, MK still has a capacity problem.

A fifth gate is not happening in the next 10 - 15 years. If even the next 20....yeah, unless the 5th gate is a 2nd Magic Kingdom, they need to continually add capacity room to the existing MK
With the continued increase of projection mapping and the emphasis of being in front of the Castle, this will not solve crowding issues.I do hope if they do the Beyond Big Thunder part of that is crowd management including during the fireworks so they are able to spread out those crowds

Beyond Big Thunder is not a bad idea. Dragging out construction and the Moana/Zootopia expansion happening as rumored is a mistake.All 4 WDW parks have needed updating and expanding for 20 years now and what they've done in the last 10 has barely fixed that, despite how many billions have been spent.
Pouring more money into bad ideas and dragging out construction timelines will not fix this either.
I’m shocked that Stitch’s Great Escape still just sits there.
I don't understand why they bothered to close it in the first place if they weren't going to do anything with it. As of last year (and I'm sure present day) the space has barley been altered.I’m shocked that Stitch’s Great Escape still just sits there.
They can easily solve this by adding projection mapping to some of the iconic structures that could be built beyond a big thunder mountain. For example, you could project onto the Encanto house that may or may not be built. It's not like this is an unprecedented idea as they already do this at Disneyland at the rivers of America and it's a small world.With the continued increase of projection mapping and the emphasis of being in front of the Castle, this will not solve crowding issues.

Yeah I agree but it would be a little weird to have the climax of happily ever after happening on a villain castle lol.I think it would be interesting if in the Villains area they build like an evil Castle (like Malificent's castle or something) and then project it in that castle as well (angle the castle so fireworks look appropriate) .... mayb add some extra audio like the villains booing when the heros win, etc
