Animal Kingdom’s Bright Future with Tropical Americas Expansion 

This land could be great, but they need animals! Imagine the missed opportunity if they don’t include capibaras!

It looks great! i prefer like you say... that Disney creates a more general lands, like the first ones,adventure land, frontierland, fantasyland... Thank you

Coco isn't in based in the "Tropical Americas". Santa Cecilia is in the desert near Mexico City. They've done tons of research on the area, so they wouldn't have called it "Tropical Americas" if they were including Coco, when they could have easily just named it "Latin America". They also have concept art with a large Coco attraction, so why would they dump that and just do a Coco spinner instead? Meanwhile, Up WAS set in the Tropical Americas. They could just as easily theme the spinner to Kevin, or even the dogs. What they're really want, though, is an Up meet n greet. Russell and Dug are super popular and Disney is far more interested in building character interaction spaces than in real attractions. As for Encanto, they aren't going to have the most popular Disney album of all time ignored for some animal-based story. They are going to have "We Don't Talk About Bruno" and "Dos Origuitas" and "Surface Pressure" in this attraction. They can easily just put Antonio's animals out in the garden or even in the rooms of the Casita, though I'd imagine they'd rather feature the Casita's magic in the queue.

Hope you caught my reply and the McDonald's toys for the park's grand opening in 1998.

I so hope that Disney Parks has enough money to finish this well. I'm very skeptical at this point.

Such an exciting video! Animal Kingdom is already top-tier, with its beautifully-themed lands, and unforgettable attractions, and this will just strengthen its line-up and offerings. Can't wait 😄

I’d love for Disney to add animals to the area, imagine a Capybara themed enclosure on the outskirts of the Casita. But I have this itch in the back of my head telling me their gonna back off and take the safe route.

I definitely like that Disney animal carousel for Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Maybe some Disney animal carousels could pop up at other Disney Resorts around the world!

My question is how they get the animals to the overnight pend on the other side of the park.

I don't know if abandoning the dinosaur theme is the right call. Dinosaurs will always be somewhat popular with young boys. Universal has jurassic park and Disney removes its own dinosaur theme. Well its seems that pixar really messed up with the good dinosaur. For the replacement we get Encanto and Indiana Jones and maybe Coco. Encanto needs to be a good ride that can stand on its own. The movie did underperform on the theaters. It may be popular on streaming, but the ip may be old news when the ride opens. Indiana Jones? I am skeptical. Indiana Jones is a triology from the 80s. The fourth and fifth movie were not recieved well. Also the younger generation seems to be disinterested in this Ip. Under this circumstances investing in Indiana Jones seems to be a bold strategy. Coco gets only a small ride. Coco was actually successful at the box office and was mostly well recieved. Giving it only a small attraction is a disservice. I think replacing the weakest part of animal kingdom is in general a good idea. I am not sure if Encanto and Indiana Jones are the right replacements.

Great Video ‘The Main Street News’. I want to ride the Encanto ride now. It will be amazing I’m sure, it’s such a great movie. I would definitely want it to be similar to the Mystic Manor ride system in HKDL. Let’s hope 🤞

I would say, that they reuse 2 rides and just build 1 new. Indiana Jones will be a retrofit from Dinosours. The spinner ride I would say they retrofit the TriceraTop Spin to an alebrije ride with Dante. This would fit perfectly and gives the sub-land of Coco a colourful kintetic energy. And Encanto will be a new one. Maybe trackless like Mysthic Manor oder Pirates in Shanghai. For the animatroics I think it will be a similar production as in Tiana. A1000s and with a mix of lower animatronics for the animals.

I am excited for the Encanto and Indiana Jones rides!

I don't know about that, I feel like they're disrespecting Mr. Rohde's wishes with the concept of the park which is our love of animals real, ancient and imagined. And now that he's retired, they're taking advantage. Not to mention those McDonald's toys for the park's grand opening that inludes a triceratops and an iguanodon and collectible cups that feature both the ride with it's original name Countdown to Extinction and the iguanodon in the short lived Discovery River Boats alongside the dragon, who could say no to that?

Rio would be great for this land since it takes place in Brazil.

Encanto/Indianas jones/Coco/Emperor new grooves/ Up/ Saludos amigos and Elena of Avalor characters together in the same place will be magic🌴🏠⛰️🛕⛰️🐆🌴

I find it hard to believe that they would not have a state of the art exhibit for Jaguars, a keystone species much like their Tigers and knowing Disney they would go all out.

I don't think they put enclosures with animals, animal kingdom is not a zoo, at least that's not what they call it, they call it an animal shelter.

Say what you want about universal but they made plans for epic universe and just got on with it I don't dislike Disney but they move like molasses when it comes to new rides and 99.9 percent of the time the blue sky nonsense never happens or is cut back anyway it's all just pretty words until something is actually built and i am over it

Is this marketing for Central and South America migrants?

Love the Indy ride in Cali, the new version in AK fits in nicely, I just hope they go with the original, original concept from years ago and include snake and insect exhibits near the ride. "Snakes, why'd it have to be snakes!"

Encanto, Coco, and Indiana Jones does not fit in with Animal Kingdom.

I’m not happy with this because even if Disney want to bring in dinosaurs then later they would want the dinosaur to stay died. If you are hearing this and being a dino land USA fan then here are the following: make sure too protest on Disney saying bring back Dino land USA, also if they do it then tell Disney to build a replica of the land so we can be happy finally I give the South American area a 0/10. That is all

New Disney Corporation does things cheap. Remember, they broke rockin roller coaster tracks by using cheap breaks. Let that sink in.

Gurllll….. this isn’t happening lmfao. It makes zero sense with the park. They are probably gonna say something like “oh it takes place in the 19-somethings so therefore it’s on theme with the animals of the past. 😂 they don’t know what to do anymore lmfao.

The whole concept of "Tropical Americas" is laughable.

Thanks for the breakdown. You have good ideas. I'm even more excited.
