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

[ToTBellHop]

They absolutely should be adding to Pandora at AK. Todays comments sort of lend itself to that happening too.

Considering the Moana project is relatively modest and Zootopia is a retheme, they could definitely expand Pandora. I wouldn’t be surprised to see something developed for DL and DAK in unison.

Yep, put a D ticket water ride in there to complement the existing C and E.

Do not put Zootopia in.

Keeps the costs down.

Yeah maybe instead of cloning FoP for DLR they’ll build a new attraction and clone it at DAK

I think this will be the plan, honestly. No idea where it goes out west. Hollywood Land has space and it makes sense there but they are already building the Marvel ride nearby soon.

So do I.

So do I.

It’s the most logical decision. DLR gets a brand new attraction that fits (in their space constraints) and than DAK gets a new bonus attraction for the R&D costs of one

I dunno I think it's gonna be a Tomorrowland experience in launch bay or the theater. But we shall see....

 

[MagicHappens1971]

With that all being said too, isn’t FoP a huge show building? Could it even fit at DLR without cutting down on the amount of theatres

 

[Brer Panther]

If they really want to add a flume ride to Animal Kingdom, why not do one based on The Jungle Book?

I mean, I wouldn't want THAT shoehorned into Dinoland either, but surely there's some space in Asia for it.

It won’t make as much merchandising $$$

My guess is that it's not FOP going to DLR. I feel like he would have straight up announced it if that was the case. My gut reaction to the word "experience" is it not being a ride, maybe a walk through or something?

I don’t think it’s FoP either. I was just wondering if it could even fit

He later clarified that “a version of Avatar” will come to DL. That sounds like some portion of Pandora to me.

Or….a new avatar popcorn bucket?

Not without removing something. In DL, it would need to be a distance away to hide the show building appropriately.

A new attraction developed in tandem with DAK could avoid that issue by not needing floating mountains.

While I completely agree, a D-ticket water ride would cost Disney $300M in Imagineering's current project management and design.

 

[J4546]

Also a major d ticket coming to anypark would prob be a bigger announcement

 

[ToTBellHop]

Imagine the savings if they build the Avatar ride at WDSP, too!

This is likely a quick/simple project like San Fransokyo at DCA just to bank on the movie's popularity, so I agree with people who are saying a takeover of innoventions building with a store, movie props, maybe some interactive stuff and a bar
