I think if they're going to replace Dinoland, it should be with a more immersive view into the time of the dinosaurs. Otherwise, we lose the whole "animals of the past" part.
Dinoland was immersive though it made me felt like I was a fossil buried way deep underground
In spite of Moana and Indiana Jones having minor animal appearances or playing a supporting role, they have absolutely nothing to do with the theme of Animal Kingdom. Adding Zootopia to the park does make more sense however, but they should build it somewhere else and at least try to renovate Dinoland. Maintaining the prehistoric themed element of the park seems the most logical
Moana is more about her culture than animals her home should be in EPCOT in my opinion. I think they realized they should make a better ride for her than just a water play area with all the visual and storytelling potential the movie gives a water ride could be amazing but they shouldn’t be putting it on animal kingdom and taking away from the theme in my opinion
While I still prefer original theme park rides, creating a polynesian/pacific island nations pavilion in world showcase based around the film would be great, giving representation to that part of their world and their often underlooked culture. Not really sure about zootopia and Indiana Jones past magic kingdom, but there’s no doubt they don’t belong in Animal Kingdom.
I think Moana fits best in Adventureland because her movie is about having an adventure. But MK is overloaded right now.
@@jalapeno1119 i think the fact the magic kingdom is full also explains some of Disney more thematic inconsistent decisions. The magic kingdom was the first one and has the most liberty for themes since it was based on disneyland if you think about epcot and animal kingdom were expansions of themes already in there. I still think a moana/pacific island mini land could fit well in epcot and especially better than animal kingdom. If it was up to me i would move tomorrowland to epcot too i dont know how viable it would be but i would had build tron there for a start( and put guardians on Hollywood studios instead) and leave the magic kingdom more to the fantasyland vibe since it already has so much interested just by the castle and the classic attractions. That is also why the expansions coming to magic kingdom of all places worries me i think Hollywood studios and animal kingdom really need expansions(not rethemes there is no reason to retheme dinosaur for example)
@@luma4902 I completely agree. There’s just so much better they could’ve done.
Maybe Disney should make another Dinosaur themed movie so we can just re-theme the area 😩
I mean hey you have a point! The good dinosaur is RIGHT THERE!!!
@@cclemtixne but that movie bombed pretty hard at the box office so I doubt that.
@@cclemtixnetrue but how could you possibly make an exhilarating ride from-
That movie
@@knightryder11 a water ride based on the fight with the pterosaurs, a interactive area with the styrachasaurus, a quick service place or snack stand, or they could just theme it more to the Dino institute
@@Rusty-2010 didn’t dinosaur bomb hard in the box office? Also they still used Song of the south for splash mountain even though it was internationally BANNED. So that statement doesn’t really stand if I’m being honest.
It is funny and kinda confusing how their first options to retheme animal kingdom areas are moana and zootopia when the lion king exists and is one of their most popular IPs ever
I think the objection there would be that they already have a gigantic wild-African-savanna attraction and there's nothing wrong with it, so The Lion King is actually kind of redundant (it is represented as a show, which is one of the better attractions there).
@@MattMcIrvin at least a dark ride would be great the lion king is very artistic rewarding would be a expansion to the africa section which i think is much better than zootopia in animal kingdom
Dinosaurs *need* to be represented in Animal Kingdom. I struggle to think of a type of animal that is a better fit for a Disney park. There's the hard science but also the romance of it, the idea of these incredible and unknowable beasts that lived for infinitely longer than humanity can even conceive. No one has ever seen a living dinosaur, nor will we ever. They're creatures of both reality AND imagination and their story conveys so much. The tragedy of a mass extinction event, the miracle of evolution, the inherent Disney-ness and nostalgia of the past.
Refurb DINOSAUR and go all in-on Dinoland's concept, blending the digsites of the American southwest with kitschy Route 66 Americana, both representative of a bygone era. I think the big problem people have with Dinoland is that, due to the opening day budget cuts, that novel concept is lost on many. It never really reached its full potential. Really going all in on immersion, creating a kinetic and engrossing dinosaur themed land would change everyone's minds, I think. I don't mind IP but just plopping Moana or Zootopia or Indiana Jones over Dinoland feels the same to me as if they put Star Wars in Spaceship Earth or Marvel in Living With the Land. It could be forced into that mold if needed, yes, but it just feels tacky and cheap compared to something with the untapped conceptual depth of Dinoland USA.
For all the defects of Dinoland, I would be quite sad if the dinosaurs went away entirely.
I always figured they felt restricted by the fact that Universal had the Jurassic Park license and if they wanted a dinosaur-themed area, they had to sidle up to that line without trespassing. But I still think it'd be cool if they had at least a few of the animatronic dinosaur figures out in the open. Justify them as having been yoinked out the past with the Time Rover technology, as was implied by Dinosaur. Maybe do an interactive storyline about the Dinosaur Institute denying that they're even there... but we know the truth.
@@MattMcIrvin You can't tell me a dinosaur equivalent of the Dragon Lair from Eurodisney wouldn't be a hit
If anything they need to add attractions, not replace older attractions. Especially at Animal Kingdom. If they want more people there, Avatar was a proven success and it added more attractions. I think they should keep Dinosaur and just build around it.
I agree! But desperately needs renovation. I went last fall and it (the Dinosaur ride) hurt.
agreed but some attractions, like It's Tough To Be A Bug, are in such poor shape that replacing it makes more sense than fixing it, imo.
I agree. I wish they'd put another attraction in Asia and the Chester and Hester area.
This is why I'm glad the news of Remy's Ratatouille Adventure was taken well, because it didn't replace anything. I normally expect complaints to be triggered when new attractions replace beloved old ones thanks to noticing the Internet being the nostalgia soapbox that it is today (no pun intended).
I don't care what they do as long as the DINOSAUR ride stays. It's my favorite ride in Animal Kingdom, and one of my favorites in Disney World as a whole. I love the foreboding atmosphere, it reminds me of the various disaster-themed rides that Universal used to have.
We need a fixed-up Dinoland that’ll still have a focus on Dinosaurs!
I saw a really good suggestion from the comments on another video: Australia. This is a perfect fit, no question. Along with Asia and Africa, this brings another continent based land into the park. With the Nemo show right next by, they could merge this entire land and set the show in the Sydney Opera house. Dinosaur could or could not receive a retheme with the new area (I personally think this area could help the current theme stand out better, perhaps the CTX Facility was located in the Outback so they could excavate fossils). Most importantly, in my opinion, is that this entire land improves the park on the premise it was created from: The Animal Kingdom. I’d love to see a video if you have any thoughts on this
They could easily come up with water style attraction based around “The Good Dinosaur”. That be pretty interesting.
I love dinoland. love love love. it makes me sad to see that the original animal kingdom vision is fading away like hollywood studios and epcot.
Aw man here we go again 🤦♂️ I know a lot of people find Dinoland boring but I think it’s got a nice charm to it. Plus the Dinosaur ride is underrated imo, it’s a pretty great ride if you ask me. Moana would just feel so out of place, what does it really have to do with animals or expand the themes? If you want to add water conservation or something expand it with Avatar it just had a whole film about water and Pandora is a pretty great themed land.
Or have Nemo get a bigger presence since you had a variety of sea creatures in that movie. I’d rather less IP and just original lands (like countries or continents that marine life is essential or part of their daily lives and culture)
Dinosaur is probably my favorite ride at the Park, to be honest.
@@OffhandDisney I’m glad you agree 👍
i remember when dinosaour was called journey to extinction
@@ChouhouinNeko *Countdown to Extinction
@@NinthShinigami was called both before dinosaour. i have the shirt form it somewhere
I would love an updated Dinoland.
Me too!
@@carminecdinoproductions so would I!!
SAVE DINOSAUR!!! PLEEAASSEEE
They better not get rid of dinosaur, I don’t think Disney would like it if universal took all the dinosaur fans away.
And plus Moana doesn’t even fit with Animal Kingdom.
If anything they should make an area dedicated to arctic animals or Australia or even South America. Or if they wanna do something related to dinosaurs why not Ice Age?
she fits more in epcot if anything
Ice age can work and you can turn the dinosaur ride into a Buck wild trackless dark ride!!! I feel that has potential only if Reel FX is brought in to make animated sequences since blue sky studios is no more.
Honestly yeah, Ice Age would fit pretty well as a log flume ride, have it start with all the characters on the surface world but then you go down to the dinosaur world where you see Buck Wild, I get the Ice Age movies aren’t as beloved as Moana but they fit way better in terms of theming for Animal Kingdom
The blue sky IP are so underappreciated 😢
Dinosaur ride was always a huge huge favourite of mine growing up, I hope it sticks around in some fashion
Moana has house-squatted the much beloved Polynesian Resort. She should be served an eviction notice, to vacate the Poly property, to any park she wishes to relocate to (how about her new vacation home, in Epcot). Just as long as she moves, and takes all of her IP luggage with her!
Nah, not EPCOT. No way. Too much IP getting stuffed in there already. Send her to Typhoon Lagoon
They COULD possibly make Moana/Zootopia work, but I really don't think they would bother. Joe Rhode is gone, and he was pretty much the last bastion of keeping Animal Kingdom's original message alive. Disney seems more concerned with putting popular IPs into parks to get people to visit rather than make fitting additions- look at their plans for the Magic Kingdom. Other than the Villains Land being something people actually want (and also a broad theme that fits with the other lands being broad themes), they want to just put popular IPs into their own lands because they just want more people to come to the parks (which doesn't make sense with how crowded the parks already are tbh)
Moana and Zootopia really don't fit with Animal Kingdom beyond surface level ideas, and trying to make them work with Animal Kingdom is a tall order that I don't have faith they'll pull off. None of the Moana attractions look like they have anything to do with animals- a boat skin of Dumbo and Moana's Splash Mountain don't scream "animals" to me. Zootopia at least has more animals, but it's movie is all about human issues. I'd prefer they just keep Dinoland USA and, if they're getting rid of Dinorama, expand the original theme of the dinosaur dig site for the Institute.
We need Joe Rohde back!
We need expansions to Disney’s Animal Kingdom to expand outside the current lands and attractions! Moana could have her own marine animal section featuring marine animals in the seas of the Polynesian islands in the Discovery Island section! Dinoland should be fixed up and improved with plenty more dinosaur-themed rides and attractions to expand!
I really don’t get the Zootopia argument, The Lion King has very heavy representation in Animal Kingdom yet a lot of that movie could arguably be done with humans as the animals, I mean people constantly say Hamlet is basically The Lion King if it were about humans
Not everyone wants a Villains land. I certainly don't see the point of one.
@@IcyDiamond Yes but in the lion king, the animals at least take on animal roles in the movie. With zootopia, the characters act as humans and fulfill human jobs, as well as human roles in a human society.
Don’t you dare touch the Dinosaur pre show. That is one of the only remaining relics of that late 90s era of Disney attraction pre show and takes me back to my childhood every time. It was bad enough when they gutted Test Track and took away it’s equally great pre show video (old TT was SO much better than the thing we’ve got now), but let me at least keep that one last little touch of my early childhood in the Disney parks. I absolutely love that pre show.
My favorite WDW park is Animal Kingdom, and to be honest, I'm a bit scare for its future. The amount of care and detail that's gone into the park is staggering and the message really does shine through. The Dinoland USA part really shattered my vibe and it needs help, and I think adding new rides and majorly retheming the land to something that matches the rest of the park's quality would elevate the park to new heights. But Disney's relentless push for IP over cohesion doesn't inspire me with very much confidence. They don't seem to have any sort of vision for their parks and instead only seem capable of mining their own IPs for ideas.
My idea is to retheme it to like a fossil dig site in South America or something. That way you would tie into the world thing but keep the dinosaurs represented. Then add a banger new e-ticket, give the theater right there a new show, add a walking trail or exhibit with dinosaur fossils or something, and majorly refurbish Dinosaur to make it less 90s feeling. Or really anything, just so long as it fits the theme of the park and matches the quality.
I completely agree with you.
Once I understood the Dinoland roadside attraction concept I fully appreciated it even more so! I’ll miss the majority of it actually 😢
I think Moana’s a great movie and it definitely deserves representation in the parks, but why in Animal Kingdom, what does Moana specifically have to do with animals? Zootopia would fit way better imo
Disney will shove in marketable IP wherever they can regardless of keeping a cohesive theme. They don't care anymore.
Since Moana is also about respecting nature which is why avatar is included in Animal kingdom
@@liamlennon3316 Mmm no not buying it.
@@liamlennon3316 At least Avatar has the connection to the banshees that gives it an edge over Moana in terms of theming
I've always been a *little* uncomfortable with WDW's tendency to relegate non-Western, "African" and "Asian" culture to the animal park, though they do get some representation at Epcot too and I do understand why it happened. Still, a thing to not lean into too hard.
Greatly miss it. The dino Institute might be very 90s but it has its charm. It’s also completely original! It’d be sad to lose yet another piece of park history to more IP. I think there’s potential for Moana in maybe a ray pool sort of deal but considering how they’re already making a huge walk through in Epcot it’s a raw deal for it to take away space here. I think an updates in order or…. Indiana jones themed area, exploration , conservation and generally cool jungle cruise esc vibes. It’d definitely fit more thematically.
It’s so interesting hearing about things in Florida, that I have no emotional attachment to because I grew up near Disneyland. I’m fascinated by a dino area. Honestly wish there was a prehistoric area in Frontierland. Would be so cool!
I would definitely have any Moana ride be in Adventureland at the Magic Kingdom. This section of DAK should definitely be either enhanced or rethemed.
Please god no! Leave Dinosaur how it is!!! Maybe give the area around it a little refresh but keep it dinosaur themed
Could they just keep Dinosaur and retheme the 1950s Carnival part? Technically, I feel like they're far enough apart from each other. Technically, I think that would mean that Dinosaur part of Animal Kingdom would only be like one ride, but I still think they could pull it off.
This is what I'd prefer, actually--the connection between them is tenuous and I personally love Dinosaur; it's back in its own separate area and could easily stand on its own without the rest of the land. But I think they regard Dinosaur as a bit long in the tooth these days.
I know a lot of people have just called for it to be rethemed into an East Coast clone of Indiana Jones, since it has the same ride system and almost has the same layout, but I'd be sad if they did that. Even if Indiana Jones is better, I'd prefer for the parks to have unique attractions.
*I think that the animated Disney show "Amphibia" would fantastically fit Animal Kingdom, just google the show and its backgrounds, IT SCREAMS ANIMAL KINGDOM! The characters are frogs, newt and toads, it has a big enviromental message on S3 and it has many places to explore like Frog Valley, the underground city of Proteus or freaking Newtopia! Even if there's not that much space, they can at least do an immersive aquarium with Amphibians, like in the final episode of the show.*
Dinoland definitely needs a refresh, walking through the gorgeous nature inspired animal kingdom and then all of a sudden you’re walking through a literal and intentional asphalt parking lot is just depressing. Whether it’s Moana or not, it needs something. Instead of theming it to an existing IP, maybe they just make dinosaur themed attractions and then make a Disney+ movie or show around that. Disney makes movies based on park rides all the time.
Here is my idea for Dinoland: Split it in two. The half that is near Asia and the Finding Nemo theater is themed around Australia. Move the crocodiles there, put in a koala or kangaroo. The imagineers could come up with a really cool Australia attraction.
The rest would remain Dinoland, keeping the dino institute and Restaurant-saurus. There is a tiny path in the back of Dinoland. I think that should be expanded and they should add more dinosaur statues - it could be like a walkthrough primeval forest.
If they wanted to add a new attraction with IP that is Dino related, they could make a Savage Land log flume. It could be even another tour from the Dino Institute.
As much as I dont care for a lot of dinoland, I love the character outfits for dino bash and, of course, Dinosaur. I welcome fresh attractions, but would definitely miss it if it goes, it was one of my favorite rides as a kid!
If they just want to close Dinosaur anyway, I would prefer the ride get rethemed into the Indiana Jones Adventure ride, or they could retheme all of dinoland into a new Arabia area where they put in an English incarnation of Sinbad’s Storybook Voyage from Tokyo Disneysea.
If they choose to keep the existing Dinosaur attraction and Restaurantosaurus they could retheme it to Dinoland Down Under. With the addition of Moana and then Finding Nemo the musical the whole area could be an Oceania area of Animal Kingdom, fitting really cohesively with the rest of the park!
"CALL ME WHEN PEOPLE START MOVIN!!!" sent me 🤣🤣🤣
This really just feels like Disney trying to jam IP into cracks where they don’t necessarily fit. Moana really has nothing to do w Animal Kingdom, and neither does Zootopia lowkey. I just feel like sometimes it’s okay go create NEW characters that are park specific and fit well into their parks/lands because they were MADE to. I mean It’s always worked in the past. Look at figment ! Idk
Disney is making their theme parts into quilt of IP patches.
You know what I'm not sick of ....
Watching Offhand Disney Videos
"...Call me when people start moving! cough cough cough " That was GREAT! 😀
It’s easy to criticize DinoLand USA as tacky and outdated, but I think that’s where it has a wealth of charm and personality. It feels like a unique relic of the Eisner era that never went away. I would be more in favor of Disney’s modernization efforts if it wasn’t as much about streamlining things with generic aesthetics, less inspired theming, and more prominent intellectual property.
as a man who spent hours upon hours in the digsite as a kid, and eventually became a palaeontologist, I sincerely hope they invest in Dinoland instead of paving over it
I always envisioned dinoland getting a National Geographic retheme. Call it like ‘National Geographic: World of exploration.’ It would be a smart way to keep the dinosaur aspects while also bringing in newer aspects.
I call it Countdown to hearing loss because its too darn loud
I dislike the new layout of these lands, essentially every new land can be broken down into:
- 1 E Ticket Attraction
- 1 Casual Ride
- 1 Food Location (most likely quick service)
I wish Disney would change it up, especially when they are getting rid of areas that had more rides originally...
12:57 It actually looks like Moana is standing in there ready to greet guests
There’s so much potential for Dinoland. They can retheme Splash Mountain, but it’ll be a cold day in hell if they replace the area with Moana, of all things
Disney: DuH...wHaT iF wE rEpLaCeD dInOlAnD oR dInOrAmA wItH mOaNa AnD zOoToPiA...dUh?
Ice Age: Am I a Joke to you?
If they took away dinosaur, what would represent the "past"?
Polar bears
Honestly, I’m still not recovered from “Good ol’ Mikey Eisney” lol
For my two cents, if they want to add IP to Dinoland, Scrooge McDuck financing an excavation , the nephews & Donald build the kid attractions to earn their own fortune, & Gyro has guests test the time rover. Boom, refreshed area with minimal work put in.
Another option is a land based on the modern fantasy world of Onward. Sort of bringing back those Beastly Kingdom ideas
I’m always excited when you post a video. Every single one is perfection. Keep up the good work.
I think ice age would be a much better fit since it focues on prehistoric and ancient aniamls they can also keep dinosaur largely the same because one of the movies has dinosaurs
Imagine if there was a little Rescuers area, maybe themed around Down Under. Imagine the Joanna the Goana popcorn buckets...
I will be sad when dinosaur ends but I get that progress is progress
My thoughts exactly. I love Dinosaur.
I’d like them to retheme it to South America. They can keep Dinosaur (and just say the institute is in South America somewhere) or change it to Indy and make it a temple in South America vs Asia. Then they can have South American animals on a walking trail and could even bring in UP and Encanto IP.
Disney did recently patent new ride technology, and it did feature Moana and Maui in the patent, as well as an ride vehicle similar to the log-flume in the concept art!
THANK YOU! AK needs dinosaurs. Sure it’s not an IP but it’s dinosaurs! Turn Dinosaur back to Countdown to Extinction and referb it. Make triceratop spin to more realistic dinos. Get a slow moving boat ride about the history of the dinosaurs using UOE old dinosaurs. Throw in a roller coaster and you have a damn fine land!
gonna miss Dinosaur if they do go through with these plans. better get my Dr. Seeker and Dr. Marsh merch before they become an obscure thing of the past
I didn’t go to Disney as a kid but I did grow up going to county fairs and other pop-up carnivals so I really love Dinorama and would be sad to see it go
Dallin: you know what I'm not sick of?
Me: Magic Candle Company?
Dallin: theorizing!
Me: oh... Yeah that too
Uhh, isn't Dinosaur already an ip and from a movie, that didn't get a lot of impact Sure it's probably underrated for a lot of people, myself included. But if Disney announced tomorrow they will be making an entire ride for a movie that hasn't come out yet. People would be getting their pitchforks. At least Moana has had a few years to be looked upon very well and became a commercial success. Something Dinosaur didn't have.
I personally think Dinoland USA is good and should just be improved however I think the most important thing is to add attractions. At the end of this the number of attractions should increase! Its crazy that they may simply retheme a ride and think they have done something. Its just a way to do "something" to excite people while spending the least amount of money possible. Meanwhile universal is building whole new rides and lands in a fraction of the time.
I remember how Mr. Chapek would watch all of your postings to get ideas for the future, of the Disney Parks. Rumor has it he was just ready to announce the PeopleMover startup, based on your proddings, then he got fired! So, is Mr. Iger now watching all of your postings?
i adore the idea of moana in DAK but the issue I see is the moana “expansion” in epcot. it’s already being construction. i don’t know about anyone else, but i’d feel almost ripped off or feel like the IP is being shoved down my throat. it’s hard to explain. it just doesn’t seem smart to have one movie with two dedicated lands
Dinosaur cannot be replaced. It’s such a good ride. Dino Land USA would 100% be the favorite if they would just get RID of the stupid carnival area.
They better not replace or remove the DINOSAUR ride (hopefully only the land around the attraction gets replaced), as I never got a chance to experience the attraction. ;-;
Disney World might be banking on Canadians coming to ride a log flume in winter. Went on it five times in January as a kid. (Now I’m more of a Mexico or California person than Florida for a winter trip, but there are a lot of snowbirds in Florida and they have lots of grandkids.) We think it’s hot out. I went neck-deep into the Pacific on the winter solstice because it was summer weather to me. Totally would go for the log flume ride!
I completely agree with you Dallin! Keep Dinosaur with some upgrades and redo the pre-show! But I don’t know how I feel about Moana or Zootopia in AK… We already have Moana in EPCOT! We need something more original than Zootopia, since Shanghai is already getting that. I love your videos and perspective! 🙌🏻
See I wish they where putting Moana thrill water ride where the seas in Epcot is at...could even put the cocamora spinner inbetween the water ride an journey of water. then rebuilding a new aquarium in animal kingdom where the finding nemo show is at with a crushes coaster. Then save dinosaur keep chester an heasters theme with the bone yard...just add a few dino themed flat rides maybe even a dino themed fun house in the back... Go all in on the dino carnaval theme... then put zootpia behind coco in mk instead of encanto an villains..i feel like encanto would be better as a new pavilion in Epcot...i also think villians would be better as a 5th gate.
Honestly I think Zootopia should go in Animal Kingdom instead, Moana already has an attraction coming to Epcot, she doesn't need to be in two parks
If a Moana land does come to Animal Kingdom than don't worry about the Dinosaur ride cause the plan is for it to replace the Dino-Rama area
I totally get dinoland USA needs help but keeping that idea of celebration of animals living, extinct, and fantasy I find to be important! We have avatar for fantasy and so much real. I think the dinoland USA could be improved highly! But should not be removed especially to two IP’s that have no connection to animal kingdom!
Moana definitely fits in nearer The Seas and Living With the Land thematically I think too
Also in the Moana concept art I think if you zoom in on the dock you see Hei Hei on the end and what appears to be Moana under the canopy above the boat so maybe a meet and greet? 12:54
It looks like the dock in the water will be a meet & greet. I can see a Moana-looking figure in there.
I would really love for an Encanto land to happen at the Magic Kingdom park
I think if Disney were to replace Dinosaur then they would keep the same ride system and re theme it to Zootopia. People are forgetting that Shanghai Disneyland are opening a Zootopia themed land and ride with a very similar ride system to Dinosaur and Indiana Jones in California. So it would make sense if that was what they chose as the re theme.
However if they were to keep Dinosaur and possibly refurbish the pre show and some of the ride then I think building a whole new Zootopia ride type would be better. There is a big lake at the back of where Primeval Whirl was that could be removed and that area could be used for the show building and just in front of that there could be some small space kept for shops/restaurant to have it as a full on Zootopia land rather than just the ride itself.
It baffles me they didn't go further into the dragons and imaginary animals. They still have imagery in the sign that depicts a Beastly Kingdom. Put that in Dinoland. Moana is already in EPCOT so it doesn't need to be in two parks.
Why the heck do people find Dinoland boring? Its totally beyond me.
It’s a generic carnival area with barely anything to do with dinosaurs, the main ride where you go back in time is okay but that’s about it
@@IcyDiamond It’s themed to the southwest with various archeological dog sites and a restaurant run by interns. I’m truly baffled why people don’t get it. It has everything to do with dinosaurs.
I would love to see them change the Dinorama area to a paleontological dig with Indiana Jones. And just keep Dinosaur/ Countdown to Extinction
i really hope this retheme doesn't come too soon. most of my feelings on updates revolve around whether they're replacing duck related content and whether or not i've gotten to see it yet lol... i really love that little ducktales area they have for the meet and greets and i'd love to be able to look at all the little details and references in person
As @SonicSnail95 said, Disney Imagineering should go all in on DinoLand's concept. I think we should also add some things to DinoLand. Here's what I'd like to see:
1. Make the Triceratops in TriceratopSpin different colors. There's sixteen Triceratops vehicles, right? So how about making four of them blue, four of them orange, four of them a random color (maybe pink?), and the last four the original color.
2. Add a television to one of the rooms at Restaurantosaurus and play different non-Universal dinosaur shows, specifically "Dinosaurs," "Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger," "Bakuryu Sentai Abaranger," "Dino Ranch," and "Gigantosaurus."
3. Maybe make Dino-Rama an indoor attraction instead of outdoors. Make it a place for guests to cool off.
4. Replace all the Disney crap with actual dinosaur merch at Chester & Hester's Dinosaur Treasures!
When I went to WDW, dinosaur was one of the rides that really surprised me. I had an blast on it
Here's the thing: remember that big creature you were gonna be able to get rides on in Galaxy's Edge? That big, dinosaur-like creature? It doesn't actually make sense in Galaxy's Edge - not enough throughput unless you fill a whole street with beasts, which doesn't make sense, and the hordes of people who want to ride would just be standing around... but you don't have those problems if you take it to AK and make a _dinosaur petting zoo._ Have a whole grip of free-standing, rideable dinos and a few free-standing-or-not pettable ones.
This would be anything but cheap, but no one else would have anything like it. And I think Disney could, at least possibly, nail this one.
8:28 I want to keep it dinosaur themed but just change it from road side attraction to maybe to more of a dino institute theme
Keep the dino stuff, tear down the theatre past it and make a greater "Pacific" area to match the "Asia" and "Africa" areas of the park. Could also have a Finding Nemo attraction or show
The title makes it sound like a cool action-packed sequel to Moana
Change Dinosaur to a realm of the monsters and have tomatoa chasing you. I could see that being a good ride that fits in with Animal Kingdom theme
1) I don’t want them to get rid of dinosaurs simply because the dinosaur ride is one of the few really fun ones at AK (love AK for other reasons but high “fun ride” count isn’t one of them)
2) don’t want THAT Moana from the concept art because it looks like it’s just a spinner ride? And whatever the boat does
At this point I don’t care about which one fits ThE tHeMe better, they just need more to do so there isn’t 3 hour lines for each ride
"Indiana Jones and the Heart of Tafiti" the crossover we never knew we needed.
AK needs a South America section - Encanto, Emperor, cuy, llamas, Galapagos, the Amazon
Epcot and Animal Kingdom had a strong scientific influence that we are losing, that influenced many many kids to pursuing careers in science.
Bruh the preshow of dinosaur is great, keep it!
I’m challenging this viewpoint with another movie that’ll fit: elementals. We can explore conservation through our connection to the elements in nature
I really thought the Zootopia thing was taking over Dinosaur, like the Jeeps would be themed to police cars and you'd be going on a chase through the city. But looking at your map comparisons, geographically that doesn't work. I also didn't notice the retaining of restaurantosaurus, so them cramming 3 different themes into that land seems very likely.
I PERSONALLY would like to see zootopia put over where the train goes since at the moment there's basically nothing there. Making it its own little secluded urban area you have to take a train to get to seems good. I dunno how planet watch could fit in there but it's disney, they could figure something out.
In a more off topic, tangential note, I really wish strange world would of done better so we could get some rep for it in animal kingdom. It's tough to be a bug is aging pretty bad and takes place underground beneath a giant plant, so re-themeing that to a strange world show would of been a really good fit. The queue would snake through bone marrow and then the theater would be done up like the windy valley. The show itself could of been about basic biology or body systems or whatever with the immune system attacking at some point instead of Hopper.
Dallin just never misses. There he goes again…
Just gonna spitball what the best idea would be, personally I think they should replace The Seas with a Moana Attraction, that way World Nature matches, and take the C&H Dinorama and transform that area into an "Australia" land to go along with Africa and Asia! You then have the two attractions be the spinner, and the big new attraction be crushes coaster! Just saying.... Then you get to keep Dinosaur, you get to have cohesion, and we get a great attraction and refurbs to both Epcot and AK. Two birds one stone :))
I also don’t get in terms of popularity how they’d put more Moana in than Frozen? What’s up with their obsession with Moana? Even at frozens peak they didn’t think to put it in a resort and two parks.
For the “beyond Thunder Mountain”, it would be cool if they made an Encanto ride that’s like Mystic Manor
They should do a mystical animal land to make those dragons on the signage make sense.. I think that was a mistake when decided at the last minute against it. Dragons are popular such a bummer.
