News Zootopia and Moana Blue Sky concepts for Disney's Animal Kingdom

[KingMickey13]

I don’t know what Encanto attraction they’ve slotted in for DAK, but WDI has certainly been working on an Encanto e-ticket that I’m aware of. Doesn’t mean this can’t be reduced to teacups in a magical house, though. Let’s hope not.

I did hear a suggestion that the Coco flat could actually be a new flat ride, not just Dumbo again.

Any details on the e-ticket?

Uh, each character has a room of practically limitless size shaped by their powers, three of which are directly depicted in the source film. On top of that, Casita itself is a living house with its own personality.

Reminds me of another living house down the street. Perhaps a retheme is in order?

Insiders have suggested that a Haunted Mansion restaurant will be a part of “Beyond Big Thunder” at Magic Kingdom, so no.

HM has become an IP in its own right and would never be touched (outside of the existing seasonal overlays).

I wouldn't give Disney any ideas.

I'd like to think they're not dumb enough to replace the Haunted Mansion, but at this point I wouldn't put anything past Iger.

“Haunted Mansion welcomes Phineas and Ferb”!!

Reminder that both the Disneyland Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland versions of Space Mountain have been permanently rethemed to Star Wars. Reminder that nothing is sacred anymore.

Remember those rumors that they were gonna turn Journey Into Imagination With Figment into a Phineas and Ferb ride? Good times...

I was thinking a ride same way as Ratatouille or you can have it like Little Mermaid and have it circle into the casita. It's either we have enough of the Ratatouille, Runaway Railway and Rise of Resistance or it be more popular than a track ride. I can't imagine how many rooms the ride would be. I also would want the Casita has a walking pavilion in it not just crammed hallways wait line and everything else is the attraction look alone how big the Ratatouille attraction is..

I've said this before, but I've had enough of trackless dark rides. The novelty has worn off.

What ride system would you want that hasn't been overused?

I think the issue is the trackless tech. It kind of sucks. Too limiting.

What's wrong with regular ol' busbars?

Maybe a "tracked" dark ride.

I distinctively remember seeing some sort of patent leaked online for a Monsters Inc. dark ride around the time Shanghai Disneyland was under construction. The track could split into two and go in different directions.

Whatever happened to that?

Moana's deeper themes resonate within the fabric of DAK...Encanto's magical humans have absolutely no connection to conservation or nature at all... Moana was the better pick, and could have been an entire South Pacific flora and fauna region... Instead we get a family and a magical house, and a tomb raider...

Tomb raider, dino smuggler... 6 in one hand, half dozen in the other..

This is a great example of trying too hard to have a hot take and ending up with something that is just obviously not true.

And another. Guidewire and true trackless systems are already capable of switches without a moving mechanical part that needs to be maintained.

The realiability of them also are wearing off. The sensors are very sensitive and they seem to have long downtimes.
