I prefer universal. They are a bit cheaper, more thrilling rides and slightly less young children. Disney has it place but I’m in my 20’s so Universal is rising

I really hope Disney doesn’t destroy Dinoland with ip. It’s a great land with an interesting story, and I wish they could come up with something more interesting for the area than “Here’s Moana!”

WDI should be continuing the story of Dinoland, they could very easily play on the time travel theme and create a land with multiple themed areas based on different periods of time. Cambrian age, Ice Age, etc.

Interesting idea. My only gripe is that some of the ideas feel like a rehash of Dinosaur, with both rides involving time travel and both rides involving an escape from a Carnotaurus. Maybe instead of a portable time machine, the device is shot at the fossils, causing them to come alive and emerge from the rock wall. Maybe that'll make the two ideas feel more distinct to me.

Same thoughts here: great ideas, but it's CTX with a different ride system. I'd say build the suggested attraction a bit scaled-down as a high-capacity family coaster, then when that opens, immediately shut down Dinosaur to re-theme it similar to Indy, but a non-IP "educational mine and temple exploration in jeeps" as a historical tour and attraction for visitors. "We found no Dinos here, but isn't it cool? Oh that stone with ancient carvings? It's never been fully translated, some nonsense about "all trespassers beware this cursed _living ground_ ..." but _don't worry about that!_ ..." Of course the floor breaks and drops the vehicle into a new cavern with active curses and traps and Dino bones, and then the fossils themselves come to life (via a Mystic Manor style curse) with animatronic Dino _skeletons_ emerging from walls and chasing the vehicles as the threat. (Researcher voice-over "This is like every nightmare I've ever had since I started working here!") The finale is you escape right under a giant slab door that is descending to seal it back off. The researchers are excited you've discovered a new section with a new trench of fossils: "Okay, exit to your left, we've got a lot of work to do on all these new artifacts! (What about the curse? We don't need to credit these people for the discovery right? Nah, they're tourists...)"

It sounds like a really cool ride except Dinosaur already exists next to it. What if instead they ripped of Universal and did a water ride but in a prehistoric swamp with a spinosaurus hunting you down in a thick bog.

Modern Disney management is brain dead when it comes to managing and updating their theme parks, and I hope they are able to take some of your advise from your past videos regarding how to better manage their rides and shows. I also think that this is a great idea in helping Animal Kingdom, having a new and innovative ride that people are exited about, rather than just more meet and greets and IP tie in.

Make the main part of Dinoland a modern Dinosaur Zoo (that doesn’t go wrong), have a boat ride with life-sized animatronics that has a living with the land vibe where you learn about the various dinosaurs and other creatures from the past. Then just keep Dinosaur as is, though do a big refurbishment.

If Pixar's The Good Dinosaur hadn't flopped, a third of the new Dinoland would have practically built itself. The movie is even set in an alternate timeline where the extinction-causing asteroid never impacted Earth.

instead of a carnotaurus i'd use something else like an allosaurus; it's native to the american west (which the area is themed on; carnotaurus is argentinian), and is still recognizeable animal while also being distinct in both appearance and time period. other animals in the jungle section could be well-known and obscure jurassic dinosaurs: stegosaurus, brontosaurus, brachiosaurus, and maybe some smaller ankylosaurs and ornithopods from that time and place. personally i always wanted a slow ride or walking trail where one could encounter dinosaurs and other animals. maybe a "cretaceous field station" as part of the dino institute. orlando is already in the perfect hardiness spot for having the right mix of plants- too far north and there's no tropical palms and cycads, too far south and its too hot for the sycamores and magnolias that dominated the swamps of those times. using a good mix of prehistoric plants and low rock-work, plus some field equipment and notes and stuff like on the african trails, mixed with the established theming, could prove to be a really good immersive and educational exhibit- and allow for more interactivity and thrills that you can't get with real animals. animal kingdom's advantage over universal is that its dinosaurs aren't strictly tied to any one IP and location holding them back. to stand out, they could emphasize that their dinosaurs are "real" and accurate, as opposed to the "theme park monsters" stuck in the 1990s with jurassic park. but that'd be too good of an idea.

I like your dinosaur choices. The Carnotaurus was really just a place holder but your ideas make more sense.

This is an awesome idea, it feels very Eisner era with the story of dinoland. The only issue I have is that having 2 rides in the same land where you go back in time might be a bit redundant. I would instead have the coaster's story focus on accidently bringing a dinosaur to the present and having it wreak havoc in the digsite. I also think it would be interesting to theme the facade to Badlands National Park in South Dakota. It looks different enough from Monument Valley and Everest to still be unique, and it ties in with the digsite theme, as the Badlands are a famous digsite in the real world.

I agree that a lot of this idea is similar to Dinosaur, although I kind of see the time traveling aspect as something that could distinguish Dinoland from Jurassic Park, only reinforced by this coaster. I can see why anyone might have reservations against that though.

I would absolutely love to see a South American region added ELSEWHERE in the park. Though I feel like it shouldn’t be modeled after the animated town of Encanto but make it akin to the rest of Animal Kingdom, which feels very authentic and lived in. Maybe host an Encanto meet and greet there but have the focus of the land be the region and native animals themselves, plus a new original non-IP ride.

I always loved Dinoland USA, and thought it was heavily misunderstood by the majority of guests. Animal Kingdom is one of the only remaining parks not truly taken over by IP, and Dinoland fits much better than Encanto or Indiana Jones (although I do think Indy could make appearances at a dig site for meet and greets). This was super well done, and your ideas here are simply genius. I also love the use of classic RCT2 lol.

@@LynCubed Thats how I am with it. At least Indy you can kinda stretch that into a theme that fits with the park. Encanto is just there because it is the only major hit for Disney in a while.

I like the ride concept and keeping Dinoland. I'm fascinated to know what has happened with Disney upper brass? Is it Bob Iger? Is it Josh D'Amaro? Is it the fight with DeSantis? That was the worst D23 I've ever seen and it seems like many of the "announcements" weren't even blue sky but hints of blue sky. They never actually said Indian Jones the band just played the theme song as a goof? Last year was bad, they had a full year to come out and say something has been green lit. Considering it takes Disney 5-6 years to get any construction project finished, its likely going to be at least a decade before anything exciting happens at WDW. It's depressing.

First let me start off by saying, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!! It's very reassuring that I'm not the only one who believes that Disney doesn't need to consider replacing Dinoland USA with South America in order to "improve" Disney's Animal Kingdom. There's even a free area of land located in between Asia & Rafiki's Planet Watch that would be a more suitable area for construction a section of the park based on Central/South America?!?! I really enjoyed your video! I agree with you that the aesthetics of the Dino-Rama subsection of Dinoland USA don't really fit with the aesthetics of the other parts of the land & can be remedied with a new attraction(s). Your idea of resurrecting the scrapped "Excavator" Roller Coaster concept was interesting. I'd like to share with you a few of ideas of mine on how I'd possibly improve Dinoland USA: 1) Replacing the Dino-Rama Area with an Attraction(s) based on the Ice Age Franchise - I understand that this is going into IP territory. The Mesozoic Era/Age of Reptiles was only one part of Earth's Ancient Past & with the Paleozoic Era not having much notoriety, why not also focus of the Cenozoic Era/Age of Mammals. This can be achieved through Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox, Blue Sky Studios & the Ice Age Franchise. It even fits with DAK's theme of conservation; many of the creatures of the cenozoic became extinct due to climate change, habitat loss, human interaction, etc. (factors that are even affecting animals in the present). As for the attraction itself; I was thinking of a Water/Log Flume (think Splash Mountain) Ride based primarily on the first three films (maybe with some references to the last three?) & it would feature audio animatronics of the characters/creatures that were also featured in the film (ranging from Ice Age Creatures to Dinosaurs). Given that Disney's Animal Kingdom is also located in Orlando, Florida (which is extremely hot & humid during the summers); the park could really benefit from another water-based attraction (the only other one I could think of is Kali River Rapids in Asia). I was also thinking about re-theming the "Triceratops Spin" to the Ice Age Franchise as well. It would still be a Dumbo-esque type of ride but instead of just Triceratops Carts (which would be redesigned to resemble the ones in Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs); the ride would also feature Carts based on other creatures (i.e. Moeritherium, Doedicurus, etc.). Or maybe the attraction could be replaced with a Double-Decker (Prehistoric/Extinct-Themed) Carousel with "Horses" that are Prehistoric/Extinct Animals? If neither of these attractions are ideal, then that just leaves more construction space for the Water/Log-Flume Ride. 2) Interactive Dinosaur Encounters - Dinoland USA could really benefit if guests had an up-close/interactive experience with dinosaurs. One of Disney's earlier attempts was with Lucky the Dinosaur; a Segnosaurus that would walk around Dinoland & interact with guess. I'd like to bring back Lucky, maybe with an more up-to-date appearance with feathers, to interact with guest. However, Lucky wouldn't be the only dinosaur that guests would get to interact with. For Larger Dinosaurs, I looked at Walking with Dinosaurs: The Live Experience/Arena Spectacular & the Jurassic World: Live Tour. Both shows utilize a vehicle system to bring their larger creatures to life. I'd like to utilize the same system to make Aladar the Iguanodon (from Dinosaur) an interactive character. I also had the idea for a remote controlled, life-size Pterosaur Ornithopter (Pteranodon? Quetzalcoatlus?) based on the one made by Paul MacCready in the 1980's. The pterosaur would fly over Dinoland for guests to see. So far, these are the only creatures I had in mind for guest interactions but other creatures (from Fantasia, Dinosaur, Ice Age, The Good Dinosaur, etc.) might also be considered? 3) New Shows for the Theater in the Wild - While I do like "Finding Nemo: The Musical", the show doesn't really fit the with Prehistoric/Extinct-aesthetics of Dinoland USA. A few new shows/musicals (obviously in rotation) that I had in mind are based on the following films: -The Rite of Spring from Disney's Fantasia -Disney's Dinosaur -Ice Age -The Good Dinosaur Much like "Finding Nemo: The Musical," the dinosaurs & other extinct creatures would be brought to life through puppets/actors in costume (some would actually feature human actors). A Rite of Spring show could be executed just through the acting of the puppets & the orchestral music (much like the original segment). These shows/musical might also include material that got cut from the original films (i.e. The Ice Age segment from The Rite of Spring). Of these options, I feel like a Good Dinosaur Musical would be best options. This newer/musical version of The Good Dinosaur would obviously feature songs & possibly creatures that got cut from the film (i.e. Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Ankylosaurus, Dimetrodon, Archaeopteryx, Brachiosaurus, Deinosuchus, etc.). Side Note: Since the Theater in the Wild is located near the Dinoland entrance to Asia, if they went with The Good Dinosaur Musical, Expedition Everest (at least from Dinoland's perspective) could be seen as Clawtooth Mountain? 4) Changing the Cretaceous Trail - Currently, the Cretaceous Trail is an area of land located between Dino-Rama & Dinosaur. It features various plant life from the mesozoic (cycads, ferns, etc.) & dinosaur sculptures (Ornithomimus, Corythosaurus, Pachyrhinosaurus, Dromaeosaurus & Albertosaurus). My idea is to turn the area into a series of enclosures that feature animals that are considered "living fossils." Dinoland already has a few enclosures that feature the American Crocodile, Abdim's Stork & Asian Brown Tortoise. However, this new Cretaceous Trail would feature even more animals (depending on their availability) such as: -Invertabrates (Horseshoe Crab, Chambered Nautilus, South American Giant Cockroach, Millipedes, Giant Centipedes, etc.) -Fish (Lungfish, Gar, Sturgeon, Paddlefish, Hagfish, Lamprey, etc.) -Amphibians (Siren, Amphiuma, Caecilian, Axolotl, Mudpuppy, Hellbender, Giant Salamander, etc.) -Reptiles (Tuatara, Monitor Lizards, Turtles, Tortoises, Legless Lizards, Snakes, Tomistomas, Gharials, Alligators, Caiman, etc.) -Birds (Magpie Goose, Screamer, Tinamou, Seriema, Rhea, Emu, Cassowary etc.) -Mammals (Tree Shrew, Elephant Shrew, Oppossum, Lemur, etc.) This new Cretaceous Trail would still include the Mesozoic plant life & the Dinosaur sculptures (I'd love to bring back/relocate the original Styracosaurus statue that was located outside of Dinosaur to this new Cretaceous Trail)

I don't hate the idea of an indiana jones ride overlay replacing CTX but they could make it fit with a dinosaur theme and a time travel artifact in a south american temple, if that IS the direction they are heading with the area. As long as the area is kept region specific like the rest of the park, any IPs they use to tell more general stories I don't have a problem with. The theme of AK (animals of the past, present and imagined) is still hanging on while there's a lot of exotic and mysterious stories to tell in that region of the world.

Mixing Indy and dinosaurs would be a pretty interesting idea

The Excavator would’ve been a really cool idea, especially if had been delivered as as a wooden coaster with the cobbled together mechanical Dinos. Those mock-ups are really neat 😎 I do really like this idea you present though. Having worked in Dinoland myself, I’d be really sad to see the whole area razed as it does have some of the best land theming in the parks imho, albeit somewhat subtle and/or requiring a knowledgeable person to point out those smaller details to the average passing guest. That being said, working DinoRama was the bane of my experience, and I’m sure most cast that worked there are inclined to agree lol. I’d definitely love for TSpin to go the way of Prime Hurl, and the games area 😤😤😤 I’m a Carni kid but ughhhhhhh. It was the worst addition to a Disney park, ever, lol. Getting rid of that whole area (and the cast buildings behind the berm you pointed out) would be a great way to update and invigorate the area and the Dinosaur concept i general, because it IS very popular, especially with the little kids (boys AND girls, whereas I wonder if Encanto is that universally appealing)

If this were to be a thing, I could see it actually being the replacement for Dinosaur. The ride you've pitched has too many similar elements to the story of Dinosaur, but I do like it. What you've pitched sounds like what could be Dinsey's answer to Universal's Revenge of the Mummy and Island of Adventure's Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure. There's a story to it, some changes in track dynamics, there's stuff that happens in the dark, like, it would be Disney's version of both those rides. However, although Dinosaur is a fun ride, it's also been there for over 20 years, and with a bit too many overlapping similarities with the story, I can't see both rides existing at the same time. If you were to go back to back, even though the ride mechanics are different, it kind of feels redundant. Go back to get this thing in time all the while you're being chased by Carnotaurs. The theme of the area is dinosaurs, that kind of feels like the extent of where similarities should begin and end among the rides. Now perhaps you could have it be some sort of Journey to the Center of the Earth or Hollow Earth Theory type situation where part of the mineshaft collapses and you find yourself in an untamed world, maybe the scientists and interns don't believe what you've seen despite having time travel technology, I don't know, but something needs to change. What if it's just a general tour of the dig site to help drum up money to keep it going, and then you have a cave-in that redirects everyone and we discover something even better than just bones? You did mention that you wanted something more tame to Everest and Dinosaur despite your ride sounding more or less on par with them in terms of intensity. Perhaps you go more Jurassic Park River Adventure with it, but then hit everyone with some more intense roller coaster moments than just one drop. You can have it be designed a bit more like it's in a bowl to hide this secret world from the rest of the park. The tour starts off indoors, and if there's some way to do it, disguise the whole indoor section as the lift hill, and then when you actually get to the part where the cave in happens, riders are surprised to see that they drop on outside where there are dinosaurs in a hollow part of the Earth. A few ups and downs and banks, a few jumpscares from carnivores, everyone's trapped, but then your guide notices that the cave-in opened up a new hole to the original caverns you were in before and that's how you can get back home (narrowly escaping one last chomp from a big carnivore of course). It's almost kind of a reverse Everest where all the fun stuff actually takes place outside. With a few well covered animatronics among more static dinosaurs out in the open, and with proper landscaping and painting on some walls, you could make the area of this "underground world" look bigger than it actually is and survive the Florida weather.

This is really well thought out. It's a good use of what's already there too so it's fairly realistic if we had a Disney that wanted to innovate. I'm more of a fan of a more in-depth retheme. Going to the original idea of Beasts of Today, Yesterday, and of Imagination, I really wish Dinoland USA had animals other than dinosaurs. Terrorbirds, Trilobytes, etc. While kind of obscure to the general public, I think trying to use those is a good way for Disney to set its ancient animals land apart from Jurassic Park

15:20 I love how the interns are more relieved that you got their time machine than that you escaped a Carnotaurus

Loved this video format and would love to see more of this style come with other lands

So here for the amount of shade leveled at Disney in this video.

Dinosaur was and still is one of my favorite Disney movies. I’m kinda glad they forgot about it

I wish they would do something like this but it seems like management refuses to let imagineering do anything new without including IP these days. What's the last non-IP attraction/land we've gotten? There's plenty of room for it in the parks but it seems like they want to replace everything original with well known characters instead of coming up with new ideas.

The new Test Track is surprising, but I only think it's because of GM.

I love this pitch and I think a classic family wooden/steel coaster would be a smash success in a Florida theme park. There are a few in Orlando at the Fun Spot centers, but none in any major parks. However, I do have to admit I was very excited about a potential new continent with animals from that region if Disney decides to go forward with Central/Tropical America, at least much more excited than a Moana & Zootopia mashed together quisi-lands. Disney's main problem right now is that they're pumping IP into everything, and with time IP becomes irrelevant and out-dated. Think about all of the classic attractions that are the most revered: Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean, Space Mountain, it's a small world, Thunder Mountain... none of these include any recognizable IP and those are the attractions that bring people into the parks. I've heard no one ever say that they were going to the Magic Kingdom to ride the Little Mermaid dark ride - of course they do it - but that's not why they went. Sorry for the rant!

This Land was always meant to be apart of the park and I believe it would make a perfect fit to expand frontierland. With Thunder Mesa Going Beyond Big Thunder They Could Have It That The Original Frontierland Is Renamed To A New Orleans Area And Hear Me Out, Now Where Thunder Mesa And Big Thunder Are They Could Make A New Frontier Land And Make It Better Than What It Is Now!!

Only channel I have notifications turned on for. Great vid as always.

Who do we send this to! This needs to be seen by disney imagineering like...now. At first I was skeptical but the further into the video the more i was on board. Bravo

I need to turn on notification. This channel got me hooked during pandemic and I never turned back

I love the this idea a lot. The only question I think I have is the logic of the mine track being placed in the prehistoric parts of the ride, as I’m unsure how the track would end up there. I’m sure there’s some way to logic it out. Regardless it has more heart than almost anything Disney has done in the past several years.

I thought about it, but I realized that people are often willing to overlook details like that if the ride is interesting or fun enough. I considered putting a purple light under the tracks as if they were glowing, being placed in front of the train. It still doesn't make sense, but in the general thrill of the moment, I think people would be willing to forgive or not even notice a detail like that.

This sounds like Dinosaur... I am in the small majority of people who actually love Dinoland USA in all its glory, that includes Chester and Hester's DinoRama. I really wanted them to replace Primeval Whirl with a family "wooden" coaster themed to excavating much like an original concept you mentioned. Also I could see a dinosaur themed carousel working in this area too.

The Dino Institute concept is fantastic, i always thought that another two attractions could be made here. A roller coaster like this video explains and a walkthrough ride with top animatronics. Zoo's keep having dinosaur animatronics and people loves to visit those attractions. Why not making it here? Its a shame none of the Disney executives saw this as an opportunity to make money and entertain park visitors.

I don't think an animatronic dinosaur zoo can really work as anything other than a ride. Conceptually, I think people like the idea of a walk-through, but if Island's Triceratops Encounter is any indication, it's not something that people really do more than once. I do think that reviving the river idea would work well though. I don't think that Universe of Energy was torn down because people lost interest, so much as Disney just never bothered to update it. A new, slow moving dinosaur ride would be popular I think.

Love your videos. Appreciate all the work you put into them. Super awesome stuff! Keep em coming bro!!! Also, have you been to all the Disney parks? I’m amazed how you know so much about them all.

If Joe Rhodie was still involved i feel Indiana Jones could 100% work as a full land. I long thought it could work after I saw how he managed to implement Pandora, and kept hoping they would do this until more recent times when its now clear Disney could never out this kinda thought into it anymore. Focus on mythology, ancient cultures and how animals were huge parts and inspirations to the cultures. You could have a trail that goes through some ancient ruins looking structures similar to the Asian trail, but it focuses on animals that have notable palcements of many cultures and you can go into a basic synopsis of each cultures story the animal was part of. And the overall aesthetic of the land could be easily designed to blend and match seamlessly with the rest of the park. So many of the ruins Indy delves into are basically overgrown and 'taken back' by nature, and one could also have some oppurtunity for a bit of educational moments with teaching how the process of ecological secession works. There is plenty of room for Indy to work in Animal Kingdom, but they just dont have the talent to execute it well i feel

@@PoseidonEntertainment I do agree I would prefer expanding and giving a proper and long needed refresh and retheme of the dinosaur land as opposed to replacing. I am mostly giving a devils advocate for Indy at the least since it's pretty clear they don't want to do anything with dinosaurs anymore and want to just replace it all. They have long been spitballing for things to replace the land wholesale and Indy was usually a front runner in the rumors of the internal discussions. Zootopia I heard was shot down HARD everytime it came up while Rhodie was still there, but the Indy rumors were more persistent suggesting maybe he saw potential there to not shoot it down as hard as Zootopia. But of course those are rumors and speculations of intent behind rumored actions. So who knows, what does matter is these announcements suck and I only hope it goes the way of the previous batch of announcements for replacing the land. And it's possible, I get a strong feeling they are struggling for cash and don't want to commit to anything that will be too pricey

Love the idea. and how much care and respect it holds to the area's past. Its pretty sad that one guy can come up with ideas for what could be an incredible themed coasters, and a company like disney could not even dream of having a ride with such actually detail, consistent ideas, or care anymore

Thank god for your timely response to another god awful concept for this area from Disney. I can only hope someone over there will get ahold of this mess, on the parks side, before disney does more irreparable/shoddy/nonsensical rethemes. AK and Dinosaur are my last major pulls to WDW and if they really half-ass some replacement with some irrelevant theme im not sure why id be returning any time soon. Love the concept and videos as always.

I really feel your appreciation for Dinoland! I also think that Dinosaur can be an excellent ride if it is maintained well! Indiana Jones has an amazing queue, loading station, set design and final scene, but theres no great animatronics and at some point it seems like you're going through a parking garage. And Dinosaur has arguiably one of the most iconic pre-shows! I think the existing roadside-theme is excellent and a nice contrast to the tropical themes throughout the park. However, I did not like your proposed attraction. It seems to me as a mix of Everest and Dinosaur and not something that the park really needs. I like the idea of another rollercoaster tho, I just wish they would go for something entirely different. Disney has a long history of working with vekoma. And they have a really exiting new model that they opened at a themepark called Phantasialand in Germany. Their highly themed ride which consists of a small darkride section, seperate load and unload stations and a long ride with two launches would fit almost twice on the available land. Their ride has inversions, this one would'nt have to. It's a flying coaster with relatively mild launches (def less forceful than Rock n Rollercoaster) and could be a themed to a Pteranodon. I could see this as being relatively family friendly, but maybe a bit more thrilling as Everest because of the seating position. Vekoma's new loading mechanism for flying coasters is far superior of the one that is being used on Manta at Sea World, so the Capacity would match Disneys needs as well.

Honestly if it were up to me, I would have made the Chester and Hester area more like the Dino Institute side of Dinoland. I think the Latin America part should be an expansion to the park in a new plot of land for the park. I also think they could use the ride system used in Shanghai Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean to make a Prehistoric Sea themed attraction where Primeval Whirl used to be. I've never been a big fan of the DinoRama Area, but I don't think the rethemes there coming up with fit any better. Lastly if they clear out the trees by the Nemo side, they could copy and paste the Indiana Jones coaster layout in Paris and make it themed to an excavation sight.

I think that your best bet for the dinosaur villain is to make it a flying Dinasaur, (pterodactyl was my first thought, but it might be too small to be threatening) separating it from other rides and genuinely giving a vibe that you are being hunted down from above (Than again, I just thought of this, might not be logistical)

@PoseidonEntertainment

Yeah, the Carnotaurus is just a place holder, although I think that a flying reptile would be a bit too difficult to portray effectively. Someone else suggested a confused but dangerous herbivore and I think that's a good idea too.

To be fair, Disney might've ripped off a dinosaur land to compete with JP at Islands (in good ol' Eisner fashion), but Universal got the last laugh since Lost Continent was built using the Beastly Kingdom Imagineers that were laid off from DAK budgets cuts during construction.

I think it would be a mistake to abandon the dinosaur theme. Dinosaurs are a timeless ip and will be relevant even in hundred years. It will never be outdated. Disney want to replace this with an ip. Indiana jones is a bad idea. I mean the last movie didn't do well. Encanto and Moana may probably boost the merchandise short term but won't have the timeless character of dinosaurs.

for an old club project back in uni, I had proposed using space northwest of everest to make a jeep-based thrill attraction based around youkai legends and how humans perceived those stories and the animals they relate to.

I really love your ideas and I hope I will go and ride Disney Dinosaur Ride one last time 😢.

How to make a droll Monday exciting?! Poseidon Entertainment posts a video!!!

I just love all your videos and commentary! You nail every single time, and I agree with everything you always say! I am am a successful artist, and I have to say, I am impressed you did a fabulous job with the coaster and how you would put it all together in Dinoland. I think you are better than Disney 's imagineers. I have some great ideas as well to make Disney bring back the magic!

Interesting idea, but it banks on a faulty supposition, that "these plans are not going to happen". Oh, one of them is going to happen, and it's going to happen soon. Why? 1) Animal Kingdom is next. It's now not only the worst-performing park at WDW, but it's #6 in Orlando and it's going to be #7 after Epic Universe opens if they don't do something. 2) This is now the THIRD plan for Dinoland, though the first plan also involved an Indy retheme. In the past decade we have not heard of something being built between Asia and Africa, or anything along that boring train route. It's been all about Dinoland. Every. Single. Time. Why? 3) Because that's how Bob Iger operates. He's not interested in building new lands unless the park is hemorrhaging guests. Cars Land and Pandora were aberrations that had money thrown at them only because Disney couldn't afford to annoy the people connected to them: John Lasseter and James Cameron, and these two parks were desperate. Otherwise, "new" lands just replace old lands. See Pixar Pier, Galaxy's Edge (Florida edition), Toy Story Land, San Fransokyo, Cosmic Rewind, Avengers Campus, other Avengers Campus. If they have nothing to retheme, then they just go cheap, like Galaxy's Edge in Disneyland or one-ride Arendelle in Paris. (Need further proof? Hong Kong Disneyland is 52% owned by the government; it's getting two rides and one is not a clone!) Dinoland is in play because all three ideas involve retheming rides. The last two both include TriceraTop Spin rethemes. 4) IPs. Iger is simply not going to build anything that isn't an IP. They couldn't even build a water play area without playing Moana all over it. That's why Dinosaur has gone back and forth between Indy and Zootopia. Yes, Indy is old and performed poorly this year, but the Indians Jones Adventure rides are evergreen at this point. And Indy will sell merch, at least moreso than Dinosaur. Encanto, on the other hand, THAT will get people into the park. THAT can go on billboards and commercials. It'll be "We Don't Talk About Bruno" for two years straight! 5) Speaking of Bruno-no-no-no, they need to make Lin-Manuel Miranda happy. He has threatened - publicly - to take his talents elsewhere if he doesn't see some Encanto happening in the parks. That's why it's popped up in TWO different concept art pieces. Miranda has done more for the studio than any other creative lately and they can't afford to lose him. (Another reason Moana got made while Mary Poppins did not.) 6) But, also they need characters of color in the parks. Almost every rumor we've been hearing lately involves a brown character: more Moana, Encanto, Coco, Black Panther. Disney is getting trashed over the coals for how lily white the parks are. Tiana is not enough to make this go away. They need diversity in EVERY park. 7) I think we've gone back to the original Indy idea because the original plan was to create a South America plan. So that "tropical Americas" line is important. There are no tall pyramids in South America, but there are in Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Honduras and Southern Mexico - aka "tropical North America". This tells me they did their research since the last rumor. They did A LOT of research as they painted the Indy temple red, which is what the Mayans did. This has moved beyond Blue Sky stage. 8) I think there are going to be animals. That was the biggest complaint about Moana. No animals. South America was originally chosen because people want to continue the continental theme. The concept art for the Encanto version has all kinds of pathways hidden amongst a large number of trees. I think we're getting animals! 9) They've been trying to find a way to clone Mystic Manor since that thing opened. Casa Madrigal is a MAGICAL MANOR. Not only will that theme allow them the easiest transformation, but they're also looking at being able to clone it, if it's done right. Could it be done cheaply? Of course it could. But I still think it's going to get did.

The minute the news came out, I knew the #1 Dinoland Defender would rise to the challenge

I went to Animal Kingdom in 2018 for the first time, we walked by Dino-rama and thought it was stupid. So we completely skipped Dino Land. I feel like I missed out now.

would be so cool if the first cavern moment featured a drop track section too because disney hasn't implemented that in any of their rides yet! thrills, but also accessible for families. btw love your use of og roller coaster tycoon to map to evoke the vibe of like 90s college dorm intern vibes. your detail is awesome!!!! loved this.

While it makes sense for the story, I think a drop track is more intense than what I had in mind for this coaster (somewhere around a Space Mountain level). I think Hagrid's falls into a gray area straddling between a family coaster and a true thrill coaster because of that drop track which I think works for them, but not necessarily for Animal Kingdom. Part of what I wanted with this coaster was more accessibility for older people and young children.

I can definitely see this coaster idea coming to fruition, but I’m obviously skeptical that Disney will choose such an elaborate option. They could easily recycle ideas from the former Universe of Energy, the dinosaur scenes from the Disneyland Railroad, etc, but I don’t think that they are looking for non-IP options for the area (or at least not old IP).

As long as the entire Disney company stays intact and they don’t break up the parks and media branches, IP’s seem to be a prerequisite for any parks expansion/overhaul budgets. They don’t trust WDI to do anything original on a large scale and find it to be too risky. What executives constantly underestimate is the amount of Disney parks fans that don’t care for modern IPs and want to see original concepts. This part of the reason why they use events that used to promote new parks expansions as focus groups to bounce ideas off of. Taking the customers for granted will backfire in the next decade as Universal surpasses them

Love the idea! I’d be so disappointed if they got rid of Dinosaur. Personally I think it’s a better experience than Indiana Jones.

I'll never forget riding Dinosaur (back when it was iconically titled Countdown to Extinction) as a kid with my dad. So thrilling, so immersive and SO fun! The land has TONS of potential. The kitsch/novelty (not cheesy cartoony kids stuff) and storytelling elements are the strongest parts of the park for me.

I love the layout of your roller coaster you should send this video to Disney imagineers and have them look at it because I would love to ride it.

As someone who hopes to one day design for theme parks and also lacks artistic talent haha I think it's honestly amazing and inspiring how clearly and completely you were able to lay out your idea for this ride. From the simple drawings, to the sound effects, to your use of rollercoaster tycoon I admire the ingenuity you applied in designing this attraction!!

I get that Dinoland can feel kinda cheap in comparison to other lands, but I have always really loved that section of the park. Some of my very earliest Disney memories are of eating at the Donald Duck sit-down breakfast in Dino land during our first few trips to the parks with my parents and siblings (along with my aunt, uncle, and cousins who are all similarly aged to my siblings and I). Those early memories of Dinoland and experiencing that magic as a kid remain some of my most fond memories ever at WDW. I find the little shops there to be some of the most well-themed at all of WDW in terms of details and making it feel like a real-life place with all of props and visual gags they have incorporated. Tons of fun little details to discover, so I always make sure to stop and take a look around at all the small things that they have incorporated into that land that so many people won't even consider because they believe Dinoland to be inherently lesser than other lands. Idk, I am almost certainly in the minority with this take, bit I have truly always loved the vibe of Dinoland. There is obvious room for improvement, but surely I'm not the only one who actually enjoyed Chester and Hester's Dino-rama and Primeval Whirl, right? It does feel a bit out of place, but that isn't because of poor theming. Like I said, there are plenty of details in the theming that get overlooked there, but when you stop to take it in and consider all of the little details, it actually is just as heavily themed as the rest of the park. It actually does feel like a real roadside carnival at times, which is exactly what the theming aims to do there. The argument really just comes down to whether or not that sort of "roadside attraction" type of land belongs in AK, which is a point that I can understand both sides of the argument. It will definitely be interesting to see where they actually end up taking the land, but I would be a liar if I said I won't miss Dinoland, warts and all.

Kids are fascinated with dinosaurs. There is so much potential to do this right without losing it all.

Dinosaur is my favorite ride at Animal Kingdom because it's dinosaur themed and neat, so I fully support your idea of getting rid of other things to make way for a coaster. I also like how well you illustrated the ride and queue. On a personal level I would like to have it be a little more open air, or at minimum not have as much of the flashing/strobing as you're depicting in here - the simple selfish reason being that my absence seizures have gotten far worse over time but I still want to go on this. I get needing some kind of lighting effect for time travel but I'd rather see like light rising around you and a single bright flash to reflect the time travel then the pulsating patterns.

They should update dinoland but more scientific accurate with feathered dinosaurs

I’d love more videos like these of rides that you think could & should be renovated with a new & themed concept!

I love this idea!!!! Well thought out and seems doable

Back when universe of energy closed, I was desperately hoping that the animatronics would be recycled in Dinoland to create a more family friendly dinosaur attraction for those who don’t want to be in dark places with scary dinosaurs over on dinosaur. I had no idea something like that was in the original plan for the land! And I like your concept, a time traveling rollercoaster sounds really cool and you could definitely accomplish some cool portal effects using tech similar to escape from gringotts like when the dragon seems to take you through the screen. But I do think the idea of being perused by a carnotaurus and some of the story beats too similar to dinosaur next door. I think you could tweak this to maybe show case the dangers of herbivores since they can be a threat too. Maybe getting caught up in a stampede of triceratopses or stegosauruses could be fun. But of course this doesn’t need tweaks anyway because Disney would probably never do something this interesting or not IP driven :(

Dinosaur themed Jungle Cruise sounded pretty cool and would work thematically with the "college intern" vibe of the land.

Chester and Hester's wasn't original though. That space used to be occupied by a small attraction that was essentially a tent with dinosaur bones.

This is way more creative than ANYTHING coming out of Disney right now.

Disney definitely seems to be a bit stuck on the idea that (almost) everything they do - and everything that they put into the parks - has to be tied to preexisting IP. Not that Comcast/Universal is much better about that. I definitely think that this idea has some legs, and a solid (or another solid) E-Ticket might actually make me venture into Dino-land next time I am willing to venture into Florida. I will admit that in all 4 of my visits to Animal Kingdom, it is the one land I've never managed to visit. Even with my strong dislike for James Cameron's overrated 3D effects demo reel, I have been to the World of Pandora and rode Flight of Passage *once*. Personally, as a fan of classic high fantasy, a player of fantasy tabletop roleplaying games (Pathfinder, D&D), and an unpublished writer of one fantasy novel, I would love to see the Beastly Kingdom make a return. I would also like to see the lake area beyond Dinoland, or another similar area, used for an expansion where aquatic and semi-aquatic birds, reptiles, and mammals (maybe mostly from the Americas) could be featured. Animal Kingdom can always use more living animals. And with the amount of open water available on Walt Disney World property, there is no reason not to take advantage of it for Animal Kingdom and habitats - especially since Disney's Animal Kingdom is also a responsible member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and participates in their species conservation programs.
