Booo!There are multiple sources saying Dinosaur closing for Indy is now imminent.
We already lost the possibility of dragons, now we lose extinct animals too?
Much rather see a new land added than one replaced.

My only qualm is that dinosaurs *should* be represented at DAK in some capacity. Other than that, I am all for it.I hate this idea with a passion I can't adequately convey.
I'm seeing the same thing. It would be an easy change, but if this happens, what happens to Dinoland? Indiana Jones land?There are multiple sources saying Dinosaur closing for Indy is now imminent.
I just don't know in what universe Disney thinks Indiana Jones belongs in Animal Kingdom when he's practically tailor made for Adventureland or Hollywood Studios. He has nothing to do with animals - extinct, mythological, or otherwise - in any meaningful way.
There are no more rules about what does and does not fit. Indy fits because IP, jungles, and CTX was an Indy clone (so it won't cost as much as a new build.) It's that simple.I just don't know in what universe Disney thinks Indiana Jones belongs in Animal Kingdom when he's practically tailor made for Adventureland or Hollywood Studios.

Also, i'm sick of layovers and using existing buildings for "new" attractions at WDW. This news is coming the day after both GMR and UoE closed to be replaced and Maelstrom got changed to Frozen just a few years ago. They should be EXPANDING not replacing.
Easy: existing ride system. No new construction

Remember, Chapek was a Merchandising head or something like that, right? From everything i've heard about him, he wants to be really agressive in pushing IP in the parks, as a salesman does, but he has no care for theme as you allude.There are no more rules about what does and does not fit.

Dino-Rama is done for within the next few years from everything i've heard so there's a chance Dinoland goes away in it's entirety... hopefully at least with a new dark ride in that spot or something if Dinosaur has to change to Indy.As the idiot who argued why Pandora fits in Animal Kingdom, and a logical case could be made for it. I'm dumbfounded on how it fits.
Beyond dumb.
Kids F'ing love dinosaurs. Just fix Dinorama. You'll have to fix it anyway- or do we just Overlay it with "Short Rounds Carnival Fun"

Theme is irrelevant now. WDI is basically given an IP to put into the parks and told to find a place to put it.
They are also basing off of GSAT scores... GMR, UoE and Stitch are the three worst on property. Of course, Disney can control those to an extent depending on the questions they ask so they can manipulate it.The problem is that there are logical places for these various IP-based attractions to go. Want Guardians in the parks? Great, here's Tomorrowland or Hollywood Studios. Want to bring in Indy? Welcome to Adventureland. It's not rocket science, but it almost feels like Disney goes out of its way to create thematic incongruity when there's literally no need for it.
How this can be a win-win:
Indiana Jones replaces Dinosaur, a new South American animals trail replaces Dino Rama
Theme means nothing anymore. It's all about inserting IPs into the park and getting rid of old, expensive rides with waning popularity.
