Honestly, that would be soooooo cool. Won't happen but would be fun

So it’s going to go where The Spaghetti place is? I hope not because the food is actually good there.

i’m happy to sacrifice anything on that side of the park for this attraction.

To the right of this photo is the current gardens and dining, you can see they’ve hung flags where the current entry arch is. Likely maintained but rethemed.

Gateway to the new ride is basically built out from the parade gate.

Okay NOW this is making more sense. So basically the ride entrance will be where that parade gate is, we’ll enter by the IncrediCoaster helix, and then the show building will be right behind the midway games. Now that makes sense.

It also seems the entrance for Coco will also eventually double as the DLForward bridge to the Simba lot when the time comes.

Image from Misted Compass on WDWMagic, that shows an idea of what they are thinking, which is what I envisioned also. In red I marked where I think the concept archway is, with arrow pointed to the Current dining:

It will be interesting to see how they work the bridge over to the Simba lot into the themed queue.

Concept art makes it look like the path to Coco won't be the main pathway over to Simba. I'd imagine the Boardwalk Pizza & Pasta is gone, with Paradise Garden Grill reskinned for Coco?

The general consensus seems to be that the entrance to Coco will be where the parade floats enter and exit, which is where people thought the entry point into Simba would be

After thinking about it myself, if they decide to use the Simba lot for DCA expansion, the only logical place to put the bridge would be in the paradise gardens area taking out th boardwalk pizza and pasta. You can build a new Italian eatery in whatever land gets built in Simba.

Oh heck no they better not touch my spaghetti meatballs and garlic bread! I need my carbs and beer to muster up enough energy to wait in line for Goofy’s Sky School!

One thing I'm not sure about with in this image is that this concept retains two parallel roadways around the perimeter, backstage. It seems only one service road is necessary. The other, outside road under the power lines is a legacy of routing guest traffic around the back of DCA to the Simba lot, right? Seems it can be replaced with show buildings, etc., they're already storing stuff long there, etc. and new parking garage coming.

Maybe these changes apply (not including a bridge to Simba, just not enough info)?


Storing stuff on outer roadway:


What the overall area looks like now:


EDIT: For reference, SWGE shows how close a show buildings can be to the property line and public roads, and how narrow of a service road is necessary.

Pretty much what I'm expecting.

I am a little concerned with how tall the show building will look from Paradise Bay, but I think they'll adjust appropriately.

If the ride is great then this is a HUGE win for the park

The ride should be a people eater, takes up almost no space from the current theme park and we get a brand new ride so in the end this to me is the biggest win coming to DCA

100% agreed. I’m really excited about how much more capacity these attractions will be adding. Coco and especially Avatar will be big people eaters.
