Little surprised about RoL - I know not everyone likes bed it but I thought it fit the park very well and was enjoyable. I get that they won't have shows like that for a while but surprised about permanently done

Maybe just will retool it and do something similar but different eventually - like a version 3.0 of the show

And one-up Triceratop Spin? Bold.

Dueling Carpets. Retheme Triceratop Spin to CoA. Turn Dinosaur into a ride through of just video screens showing people riding Carpets of Aladdin

I’m over here thinking about how they could implement a Carpets of Aladdin in Dinoland USA.

Triceratop spin is the COA of AK!

Late to the convo per usual, damn.

Interesting. Wonder what they’re thinking of putting in the RoL area. I know most likely nothing for a while, but wonder what the grand plan could be.

Save money

More characters and bands on boats please.

In a dozen visits we were never able to ride Primeval Whirl. RIP.

I legitimately might cry because I've only ridden Primeval whirl once and I loved it. I've been so looking forward to riding it again....

My DS loved Primeval Whirl but in all honesty I am still wishing the entire Dinoland area would be converted to Indiana Jones. I believe Dinosaur is the same ride building as the DL Indy ride, the Dino dig site could be re-themed as an artifact dig site and the rest needs the Indy roller coaster!!

 

[Mit88]

They can’t hide Primevil Whirl the way they could with Stitch. I expect big changes finally coming to Dinoland. It’s withstood rumors of destruction for many years, but I think its finally looking like those changes are coming

For those thinking about AP refunds, I am seeing on the big AP FB group someone who spent $2400 on 2 APs, used them for 7 visits and is getting $383 refund back. I'm not sure what the calculation is for refunds, but it sounds like Disney is thinking she got most of the value out of her 7 visits.

So, 7 separate days? I guess if Disney considers each of those a $150 one-day ticket, that's where their calculation comes into play. If it was 7 consecutive days, then that's closer to $600 or $650, as the cost per day significantly drops after the first 4.

Unlikely we'll see anything there until at least September/October of next year.

I’m not sure I want Indiana Jones Adventure on this coast. That’s a big draw for me personally when I go to California and it would feel a little less special if its at WDW as well. But I’m not sure what other IP they could put there. Maybe an UP themed land? You could make a race to save Kevin attraction with Dinosaur.

Sure, but for now it's saving money. How long did wonders of life stayed closed? I mean it's still closed but with a plan

Or, I wonder of they are planning on putting up some new exciting construction walls and just close dinoland entirely for a while.

Kind like shutting down a large part of the park for cost saving considering attendance numbers for AK currently

 

[StephenM84]

That's horrible news. My daughter loves Primeval Whirl. I believe its the reason today why she loves AK so much. She would scan in for her fast pass (with my wife) and as soon as she would exit I would be her hero letting her know I already rebooked her another fast pass. I know a lot of people hated that ride but it will always hold a special place in my heart back when we started going to Disney in 2017

I think its different with indoor attractions/buildings as its not right in front of you. With Primeval Whirl, thats an eye sore if it stays there unused for years.

That’s what pruning weeds means.
