They could retheme Dino land without getting rid of Dinosaurs…

There are plenty of dinosaurs in Tropical Americas!!! :sauropod: :t_rex:

Only picked from the things that are actual, and not blue sky. Also only picked things from WDW. So…less than 5 things.

I could have picked 2 more if the Encanto and Indy picks were just rolled into the land re-theme :wink:

I know not all of it is for sure but it’s still fun to hear new ideas. Maybe I’m just too much an optimist :grin:

Did you not pick TT and if not, why?

Hmm. Was the TT announcement actually an announcement, or just a possible thing? If it was actual, then I would vote for that as well.

I’m glad that Dinoland retheming is seperate from Indy replacing Dino. While I am sooo excited that they are going with a South American"-esque theme and revamping the whole area, I am devastated that they are getting ride of my Dinos!
But I also understand Dinosaur wasn’t one of Disney’s top IPs. Most people think of Jurassic Park series- which we all know is Disney’s major competitor. So maybe there is more strategy to cut the dino theme than just adding some popular IP to the area.

Yeah. The TT thing is maybe likely, but still effectively Blue Sky.

So no more building your car? That’s the only reason I would ever waut for this ride. The ride itself kills my back.

I don’t wait for this ride. Last time I rode it, it was literally a walk on. But otherwise not worth it.

If the reimagining actually happens, I am sure it will be better. Current version is pathetic. Previous version was way better. So hopefully the next version fixes what they ruined.

I can’t recall. What was the previous version and when was it changed?

Previous version was like you were actually in an actual test lab. 2012.

I took it as the refurb of TT is a done deal but they are still finalizing timing and design elements. But nothing is ever for sure until it opens. Just ask Mary Poppins.

Me too. My kids love the triceratops spin! And dinosaur is a fun ride, but it’s really a sad area of the park right now. It needs new life.

But I have always loved the theming and the backstory.

Hopefully so. Fact that GM is footing the bill makes it more likely.

Picks the things that coincide with planned trips…and Indy.

There wasn’t much that I got very excited over. The Pirate Tavern is probably tops for me, and then Zootopia in the Tree

Encanto quickly became one of my new favorites, so I’m excited for that addition - I just hate losing Dinoland in the process.
