Tropical Americas General Discussion - Opening 2027

It’s definitely an improvement, but a big enough improvement to warrant the cost instead of just building new? Not sure.

Oh I'm sure WDI has figured out how to overspend on this project someway. Wouldn't surprise me to find out that a new build would have been cheaper to build than replacing Dinosaur later on lol

I also think they still should have found a way to truly add another new ride somewhere in the park as part of this overall project.

May Epic will kick AK down to the point where they have to add more. After nearly 30 years, AK should at least have as much to do as Epic Universe.

99.99% of the time this is the case tbh.

I've become an AK defender over the past year, as I do believe the nature trails, shows, and street entertainment do a lot to plus up the offerings of this park, but even I agree with you here. AK needs solid additions, not trade-ins. Indy and Encanto will clearly be much more popular than Dinosaur and PW, but it won't help the fact that the park has like 5 rides.

I worry AK will suffer the same "Oops! All E-Tickets" fate that DHS currently is dealing with. You can't ride anything besides Star Tours for less than a 35 minute wait at DHS, and I feel like that issue could probably move to DAK too with Dinosaur gone.

You're right, but it will help that Animal Kingdom has a really nice, lush vibe. Hollywood Studios' acres of concrete surrounded by tan boxes bums me the hell out.
