What type of ride system is this utilizing?

That stupid waterfall in the bottom right just makes me think a boat ride...

This is the perfect D ticket/E ticket to add to Animal Kingdom, as there is not much to do inside at Animal Kingdom, and it'll add capacity since it'll likely double Primeval Whirl's throughput. It'll be a net positive for AK and a huge upgrade over Dinorama.

I somehow doubt this is a 2027 opening since they haven't broken ground yet. I think the Carousel will be 2027 with this coming later...

Sorry to double post but I'm very happy that this attraction won't be a boat ride.

I suddenly want a nighttime show to go with that facade. It doesn't need to be fancy just some lighting effects would be cool. The house itself is magical so I hope there's something more to it than a static front.

I enjoyed the movie so I'm kinda looking forward to see how this turns out.

Is an omnimover really ruled out? Looking at the concept art, kinda looks like one to me. I really hope it’s a trackless ride.

Hopefully casita is kinetic, it’s the whole deal of the house

Looks like the ride vehicle from DL's Pooh.

But the Encanto ride vehicle doesn't have a...

Maybe it's a traditional tracked dark ride as well.

Is there a reason that this can't be Mystic Manor 2.0? That is what I thought it would be when they first announced an Encanto attraction.

I don't think we've heard anything that would definitively preclude them from following that general approach.

That would definitely make me more interested in this attraction.

While that's always better to hear than "No, I have no idea what they're doing," I still remember how James Gunn promised that Cosmic Rewind was going to honor and follow Epcot's original mission. And it doesn't!

These filmmakers have an interest in making these attractions sound as good as possible.

(NOTE: Given the size of the showbuilding proposed for the Encanto ride, I have high hopes for it.)

Recently rode Tiana's for the first time a few days ago. I'll give more thoughts in that thread, but I left with a worried feeling none of the other recent additions have given me.

I really hope that ride was a result of pandemic cuts and Chapek restrictions, and we don't end up with Encanto Ever After where we're slowly meandering towards the final party scene without any story or stakes.
