Tropical Americas General Discussion - Opening 2027

[Jake S]

So far, nearly everyone has predicted it will be a trackless ride outside of @belloq87. The show floor will likely open to press in the next few hours, so hopefully we get details imminently.

Even in this small arena, @belloq87 stands alone.

Should have been a secret ballot!

We shall see if the rumors are correct. I think the trackless Mystic Manor like concept is the best fit for Encanto.

Two big attractions for a small-ish park is perfect.

You're missing the carousel.

I have only ever heard Encanto as a boat ride

I would prefer a boat ride as the trackless rides are just a little too unreliable. Of course, I say that and Tiana's flume ride is having all sorts of issues.

That's what happens when you make no changes to the ride system other than disassembling and reassembling all of the old pieces.

Tiana's salty hill bares the difference...or maybe it's a maintenance thing.

The Indy storyline is confirmed to be about a "mythical creature."

So... thematically appropriate. Ish.

There’s at least some gesturing towards thematic integrity. I’m hopeful they’ll make this fit, but we’ll see.

At least they heavily emphasized the animals for the Encanto ride.

 

[WAJAS]

Is the whole area Pueblo Esperanza? or is Pueblo Esperanza a subland of South America or Tropical Americas, like Harambe is a subland of Africa?

Hmm... let me look back into that.

EDIT:
It seems to be called Pueblo Esperanza as a whole land:

 

[belloq87]

I like "Tropical Americas" as the overall name of the land much more, with Pueblo Esperanza as a subsection, but I guess we'll see.

 

[WAJAS]

yeah I don't see how that holds with the Indiana Jones section

I do as well and could've sworn I heard them use the term Tropical Americas in the presentation.

Based on this tweet, it sounds like Pueblo Esperanza is the spanish sub-section that includes the carousel and Encanto, but the land as a whole is Tropical Americas? Sort of like how Chester & Hester is within Dinoland currently? We need clarification, but i'm going to change the title to include Tropical Americas again.
