Pride Rock is the "weenie" of the land and the flume interacts with it... not some random mountain that looks eerily similar to the old AK concept art for Moana. Also, lol there's way too many buildings in this concept art than the model.
Oh no, the Lion King ride at WDSP is definitely going to be a Splash Mountain style ride, it's just not going to look like what Jim poster on Twitter.
People get on Universal's case for overusing the "Guided Tour, but things have gone WrOnG!!
" plot in all of their attractions, but at least that overused plot concept supports tension, stakes, and a more engaging motion profile. I vastly prefer that to the "We're gonna go hang out with Elsa!! Follow me!!" plot concept that seems to have taken over WDI recently.
It is which is why I’m hoping it’s nonsense and the carousel is still slated to be Coco.
And this would dramatically improve the music played on the carousel (imo).
FWIW Coco was the latest rumor I heard for the carousel. I think if the Coco theme was no longer on we would have heard it in the rumor mill already. Coco is also slated for BBTM as well keeping with the Disney practice of having the same IP in two different parks.
I posted this on another forum but I'm pretty sure this idea is meant to be "unlicensed" Disney characters within whichever fictional country Tropical Americas is supposed to be. Similar to this in Africa
