Tropical Americas General Discussion - Opening 2027

[PerceptiveCoot]

The person on stage in charge of the design of the land seemed legitimately anxious when the 2027 date was brought up, I think Josh even pointed it out. That was a weird, awkward part of the show haha

I think that was just part of the lead-in to the No Pressure song.

That makes sense. Definitely was a strange, worried note to end that big announcement with though haha.

Very curious on the timeline of everything. Spring to Winter 2025 is gonna be rough for DAK until Zootopia opens up.

Again, unless "Winter 2025" to Disney means "The eleven days between December 20th, 2025 and the end of the year," I think Zootopia will be open before March of 2025.

So glad they didn't just go with Tropical Americas. Having a name for the land/village is right in line with Africa (Harambe) and Asia (Anandapur).

It would be really cool if they added some Tropical Americas animal encounters/exhibits to this space. Hope they do.

I think the whole makeover is a win. The cheap looking Dinoland vibe just didn't fit imho. It's a shame Dino's aren't a park of AK anymore. Hopefully they try to bring them back in the future.

I think they will? I mean, it'd certainly be a miss if they don't. It's also not a tall order at all to add a few enclosures or even something smaller like the American Crocodile and Asian Brown Tortoise that're currently near restaurantosaurous.

*The Chester and Hester Dino-Rama area didn't fit well, but the actual Digs County/Institute area did.

Any shot the Mythical creature in the new indiana jones ride is a Dinosaur? Kind of feel like it would be a great call back to what was there before.

I would tend to doubt it. I'd expect the creature will be based on actual mythology of the general area.

Not sure how to do polls on here but last call for what we think the Encanto attraction may be:

1. Trackless dark ride ( react with )
2. Omnimover dark ride ( react with )
3. Boat dark ride ( react with )
4. Other ( react with )

I will throw my hat in the ring with a

It's funny that we still don't know what it is. They said you're either getting a ride system or a location, but never both.

I'll be surprised if it isn't the Feathered Serpent aka Quetzalcōātl, but it would be a neat twist if it's revealed to have been a feathered dinosaur this whole time.

Why not both in one go?

 

[yankeetrex]

To me, a big Dinosaur Fan(the animals not the movie, although its ok), this would soften the blow a bit,lol.

For a land at this level though, I respect their attempt at agility with the 2027 completion deadline. We'll see how it holds.

I am not sure if Winter is Jan to March or December lol

But also a spinner and a low wait Dino ride won't be too big of a loss honestly, so it is just the theater which was also low wait. I don't think it will be too bad.
