New Project for Dinoland?

[SkiBum]

I always thought nAvengers campus was a downgrade from Bug's Land.

After this, I'm never complaining about Avenger's Campus again.

Don't let this stop you. It's just another brick in the wall of shame.

Do they not have any bamboo they could plant around the fence line?

Bamboo is notoriously hard to remove.

Half of Animal Kingdom is covered in bamboo. Really good for sound diffusing between areas.

Agreed but that stuff spreads like wildfire along with its positive of growing really fast. They'll have a kudzu situation on their hand if they aren't careful.

I think Disney Horticulture is on top of it. They know what they’re doing.

It is true that bamboo can get out of hand fast. There’s this guy that lives a couple neighborhoods from me that surrounded his yard with it. When I drove by I remember saying how I felt bad for the neighbors, cause there’s no way this’ll end well.

There are 2 types of bamboo. One that multiplies like crazy and spreads and the other one doesn't.
The one that gets out of control can be contained by putting deep enough barriers in the ground so it stops the spreading.

Insiders on other sites are claiming there are 2 major projects in the pipeline for a mid to late 2025 date, Animal Kingdom is rumored for one of those projects...

It sure seems like they just announced that Dinoland is going away... someday... maybe. And it might involve Moana and Zootopia. Possibly.

It was all extremely nebulous and noncommittal.

I don't particularly think either of those properties fit the park, and certainly not at the expense of real extinct animals.

 

[Magic-Man]

I get Zootopia because it's animals, but why Moana?

Sounds like the beginnings of a Joe Rhode nightmare.

Is it really so hard to revitalize Dinoland?

 

[PerceptiveCoot]

If there's no shovels in the ground I don't care, something Universal seems to understand better than Disney.

They seemed to struggle to answer that very question during the panel.

It should not be, no, but I don't even think the Dino Institute (and Dinosaur) and the play area dig site need have anything done to them, really. And I'm fine -- in theory -- with annexing DinoRama for some other purpose, but:

1. I don't want Dinosaur to go away.
2. The park needs more rides, not replacements.
3. The proposed themes don't work for the park (in my view).

 

[Magic-Man]

It amazes me how they're considering Coco for Magic Kingdom instead of EPCOT and Moana for ANIMAL KINGDOM instead of Magic Kingdom. Moana is perfect for Magic Kingdom in every way what the heck are they thinking?

Here's the concept art that they took great care to say is not binding in any way:

And that is a very difficult puzzle to solve. What property could they possibly add that fits (ESPECIALLY for Dinoland = "Ancient")? I'd say Ice Age but not relevant enough.

And now my brain is going to be hurting trying to come up with one LOL.

THE JUNGLE BOOK. Expand the technical boundaries of Asia to reach into the former DinoRama area, put a big E-ticket Jungle Book ride there, and leave the Dino Institute alone as a mini-land with the dig site.

Where would that leave the Nemo show? I don't know, but I don't particularly care!

I guess Nemo could be moved to DHS?

 

[Magic-Man]

It's not like Disney has a shortage of animal-themed movies and content, they just don't want to use them. Lion King, Jungle Book, Gravity Falls (cryptids), Nemo, etc. Why they're trying to shove Moana in there is beyond me.

 

[PerceptiveCoot]

I'm guessing this is the rough area indicated by the concept art. I'm assuming that Moana takes over the Primeval Whirl area with Triceratops Spin moving to the Boneyard and Zootopia in the back replacing Dinosaur.

 

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

Oh I hate to say this but I love that concept art lol.

Jungle Book I heard pre Covid from many sources was in development, I wonder thats at.
