I feel like they don't have any concept or plan when it comes to Dinoland
I'm sure there's plenty of "concepts" but no real vision right now
If I'm honest, I tend to think AK will go into a similar sleep pattern than HS and Epcot went into
New Project for Dinoland?

I've not seen Zootopia -- but it seems it is naughtazoo but it brings up Zoo in a park that is naughtazoo. Eh, guess that's why I try not to overthink any of it.
I guess a city near the Dino institute could be as real as a ride side attraction with a cute backstory -- on the way to the Nemo theatre -- I'm just not sure what doesn't work in that area (considering currently the big carnival ride is closed at the ride side attraction). Anyway, to me, currently I would rather see them replace Dinoland before building on a new plot.

I honestly have no idea why Disney doesn't copy and paste some of their concepts from DisneySea
That goes for all parks

I don’t know for sure, but I suspect there’s some sort of exclusivity deal with Oriental Land Company that prevents from happening.

Disney wanted to create this Dino-Institute concept for the land and the mashed it up with a road side attraction that you would find outside Disney World.
Just make it an ambiguous concept of Dinosaurs. That’s it. That’s all you need. Gives you so much freedom. Look at the lands of MK, broad concepts that allow plenty of different rides and IP to exist in one land. Not every land need to be Potter or Star Wars. Stop boxing yourself in with all these IP specific lands.
The DinoLand concept way pre-dated Potter + Star Wars.
I’ve always assumed the carnival games made bank and that’s why the land hasn’t been touched.

Almost all of which have expired by now. Multiple variants of TDS concepts have almost come to DAK specifically. Most famously/publicly Mysterious Island almost going in the CMM/Pandora plot.
A smallish woodie like Invadr at BGW would do. Would blend in decently with all of the nature.

Totally wishful thinking, but I think an RMC in Dinoland would be a great excuse for a “real” coaster (still probably not over 150’, if that).
Yes a nice GCI would hit the spot
I meant moving forward they don't have a vision for the space

Do we know the possible reason for that decision? Mysterious Island would fit really well somewhere in the park I feel I guess especially compared to Zootopia for aesthetic reasons.

I think recession killed that, but I’m sure someone that was paying attention to theme parks more at the time would know.

Went to Animal Kingdom for the first time today since 2018...sheesh. Dinoland STINKS! Needs a renovation ASAP but I know it won’t happen for a while. Honestly, I’d love for them to do Zootopia but then again i’d like to wait to see how the Shanghai version turns out. I’d think it would be a great land for kids though. As long as Dinosaur stays (or that ride system stays at the very least) idc what they do with the land but it needs a revamp this decade.

I mean, a rethemed Dinosaur ride as a ride along with Judy and Nick going through the different burrows of Zootopia doesn’t sound like a terrible idea.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Naga, anyone? I may be the last person still rooting for an Indian Jones land based on snakes.
