Hopefully they'll have some South/Central American animals throughout this retheme. But I really like this idea, it seems like they listened to the feedback about Moana & Zootopia.

Hopefully the Encanto ride will be about Antonio & his animals in the house. While maybe Indy can get a new story about an animal themed god/religion?

The way they said it makes it sound like a new land location. How do you go from a land and say its going to a new location and then only announce a tiny show.

I thought so too originally.

When they pivoted to the AK-segment, they said they reworked a bunch of stuff, including Zootopia in a "new location". From there I understood new expansion plot.

Then they revealed it was just a new show in the tree of life lol. What a bait haha

I want to go back to the presentation, when it is available: did they say that was the new location or that this was a first taste, so to speak?

I got the impression that Tree of Life was all we're getting Zootopia wise in AK.

I wonder if Moana is now not happening or shifting to MK? I don't think it makes sense to build another log flume in MK, but they could do something else there.

Makes me wonder if Zootopia is getting swapped for MK but the new animatronic being made for the DAK show which I'm pretty sure is a clone of the one in Shanghai's land makes me doubt that.

not gonna lie guys, would rather see moana/zootopia in AK than Indiana Jones. Indiana Jones has almost no messaging regarding to animals or conservation or whatever people were saying Zootopia didn't have, but at least Zootopia had the out of "it has animals lmao laugh its at animal kingdom". Indiana Jones is tenfold a better fit at Hollywood Studios than he is at AK.

DHS certainly has expansion space, but agree that it is not readily accessible. But I don't think that they "failed to consider" future expansion, just that they didn't make an effort to prepare for it. They just kicked that can down the road.

We know that had specific pads available in Galaxy's Edge for expansion set aside (for the restaurant and for another attraction). And there's still a bunch of backstage area on the west side that can be used for expansion, they would just need to relocate those functions currently housed there (but that was true before the DHS revamp, so it didn't change or worsen at all).

When the time comes, they basically just need to tear down the Animation building including the offices (+whatever they want to do with Mermaid) and connect that area to the RNR courtyard to make the most logical next location for a big expansion.

Separately or additionally, they can remove the IJ theater and the use the Echo Lake area to build into the parking lot. which could be a very large footprint if desired.

Expansion wan't on their minds when it was built. The priority.. and only priority.... was to open before Universal
