Disney News, Discussion & an Element of Fun - 2022 Edition

What new rides or lands are defo coming all I herd was what if

Coco, Encanto, and Villainsland are all in very early stage development. So that's why the info limited to them right now is limtied to concept art.

Same with the Dinoland replacement.

Its all very early Blue Sky meaning there still in the concept stages

So WDW is getting a recycled fireworks show and a Figment meet and greet? Moana isn't opening until LATE 2023? and Tron not until spring? That's some major garbage right there! At this rate we'll be lucky if Epcot is even done before Epic Universe opens in 2025!

Can u name one new ride on that list for WDW that we never knew about

 

[Aprilshack]

Yeah, I'm fine with them showing us their ideas. People would have complained that nothing is being done to Dinoland but it's at least nice to know that something is absolutely in the works. I'm not going to get upset if not all of these specific ideas end up coming to be but it's exciting to know that new things are in the pipeline. I absolutely can't wait to share the excitement of new things with my son as he grows up. He's turning one next month and we are going on our first trip in November with him. There's so much to look forward to.

Well...if my opinion counts for anything (lol), I'd be super excited for a Coco ride/land in the MK expansion. It would be visually stunning with so much of that world to work with.

I would of thought the Coco/Encanto & villans lands would be top of the list, they got a good reaction from the crowd. I am still baffled why there isn't a Lion King land in AK. A better fit for there than Zootopia imo. I can see the Moana perhaps not happening. A bit of a lacklustre reception there.

Everything new announced today is highlighted in orange on the first post of the Major Disney Refurb and Construction thread. I find that page really helpful.

Thanks, was trying to keep up with the stream, thank goodness for the random performances in between and the 10 minutes of blue sky discussion

If Zootopia and Moana take over Dinoland would that mean the dinosaur ride would be gone?

Any mention of when splash will go down for the tiana refurb?

The ride will probably remain with a new overlay. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I

'm just glad that they're at least talking about doing something to Dinoland USA, but I don't expect any of it anytime soon.

No, there were no rides. The only new rides coming are Tiana's Bayou Adventure and Tron. Moana is an attraction, but not a ride. That's it

Wooo. Very very disappointing

do u actually think these new lands will happen and if so when

No one knows if they'll happen but I wouldn't expect them to happen within the next 5-7 years.

In fairness, they have Africa with Festival of the Lion King and the Safari with actual animals (like Lions). They also have Rafinki's Planet Watch, so it's not like the Lion Kind isn't represented at Animal Kingdom.

Dinoland is the kids section, which is in great need. Replacing it with anything else would be an improvement at this point, in my opinion. Personally, I would have went with Ducktails, but I'm cool with Zootopia and Moana.

 

[StarGirl11]

I think probably a good time to remember not everyone has the time or energy to hog the news. And listen to rumors for coming things to the park. The only one I knew about going in personally was the Avengers campus ride they announced Friday.

The experience of the board in this case isn't always going to equate to the gen experience.

So if they do happen. Then over 7 years away u think

I disagree. I fully expect to see dinoland redone within in the next 2-3 years tops. The projects for MK may be further off, the next 6-12 months will determine that alot.

Moana is still a full year away. Don't get your hopes up.

 

[Aprilshack]

I would imagine IF they happen we may see somethiing in about 10 years if we are lucky. It depends on how tech heavy these lands are i guess.

 

[Garyjames220]

I have been looking forward to D23 for ages and to hear today there is not one new ride confirmed is very disappointing. Universal opening a new park and Disney can’t even confirm a new ride is very disappointing

 

[StarGirl11]

Agreed about the Dinoland. Its not like the Epcot situation where there just working on it but isn't a full need. Dinoland needs an update. Priorities.

As much as I love Moana. Zootopia would be the better fit.

Agreed, I can see Dinoland being redone within 3 years.

MK expansion on the other hand, yeah i'd say 5-7 years.

How long did New fantasyland take?
