7:57 So let's see, Japan gets to keep Jessica, Japan gets to keep the Briar Patch, &... *JAPAN GET TO KEEP THE REDHEAD!* It's sad when you realize a nation that's thousands of years older than ours is more soft hearted than the sleeping dragon they woke up only 85 years ago.
And while this isn't the same as being in Hutchinson the two weeks after Labor Day for the Kansas State Fair, it sure looks corny to me. Maybe they should have dipped the whole thing in hot caramel and served it on a stick.
Can we say Disney at least dodged a bullet by not using Bill Cosby during the pre-show? He sure turned out to be a dinosaur. Frankly, I would have enjoyed a full presentation by that sock puppet dinosaur thing who fleetingly appears during the introduction. He could have been the Figment of this attraction -- though figments had a way of disappearing into obscurity too...
Disney’s Animal Kingdom can’t sacrifice Dino Land USA like this! The Movie Dinosaur (2000) deserves better than being replaced by the tropical Americas
This is absolutely ridiculous! I was so MAD at Disney since the company was going to replace DinoLand U.S.A. by turning it into the new South American land with Encanto and my number one favorite ride DINOSAUR was going to transform into an Indiana Jones ride and I was NOT happy about it. I have so obsessed with dinosaurs since I watched one of the Disney movies that had dinosaurs and I certainly did NOT ask Disney to replace DinoLand USA because I've tried to tell everyone that the dinosaurs are always part of the animal kingdom, but unfortunately, they did not listen. I really hate getting ignored and people should've known that the dinosaurs are NOT monsters, they're animals. Every dinosaur is an animal.
It was REALLY hard staying on the ride while it was going uphill to view the animatronics. The uphill is SO HIGH that it pushes you back against the seat and without a seatbelt I felt like I was literally going to fall out due to how steep it was
A very necessary update, but one I wish had a bit more drama and intrigue in the narrative. I love the new scenes and animatronic figures, they’re technically very well done, but the buildup to the iconic drop needed a bit more tension, imo. A lot of people suggest it should’ve been a retelling of PATF’s plot or involved Dr Facillier in some way, but I don’t think that’s fully necessary-Even just adding more urgency to finding a band to play at the party, maybe somebody important like the King and Queen of Maldovia are going to be there and the original band cancelled last minute, so Tiana and Louis race to the bayou to find a replacement and run into trouble getting home along the way. I’d love some more original songs, too!
