Disney’s Animal Kingdom is getting a long-awaited upgrade. A new land inspired by the Tropical Americas is coming to Walt Disney World in Florida. It has long been rumored the company was looking to redo the dinosaur themed area. Very little attention had been put into it, and the land seemed to have run its course in terms of popularity. Fans at D23 finally got to see what the company has been planning. At the parks and experiences panel, the company gave a first look at the land, including two new attractions.
Tropical Americas Heading To Animal Kingdom
Tropical Americas will begin breaking ground this fall at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Josh D’Amaro said the process would be in phases, with the land fully opening up in 2027. This gives fans time to say goodbye to any attractions they love in the dinosaur-themed world. However, fans should get excited about the new rides that are coming. An Indiana Jones ride will be coming to Florida and will not be a carbon copy of the one in Disneyland. D’Amaro promised “a completely new story,” and the first look at the concept art certainly backs this up.
This is welcome news for a company that has been giving guests a lot of the same as of late. One of the newer roller coasters in Walt Disney World, TRON: Lightcycle Run, is an exact copy of the one in Shanghai Disney. Fans loved the idea of Indiana Jones in Florida but were fearful the company would simply copy and paste from their West Coast park. This is not the case, as an all-new storyline will be worked in. That wasn’t the only ride announced for the new land.
Encanto Enters The Parks
The success of Disney’s Encanto made fans wonder when the movie would get its own attraction. Tropical Americas will be where the Madrigal family makes their Disney parks ride debut. The ride puts guests in the middle of the movie when Antonio receives his gift to take to animals. The casita comes to life and moves guests around the house as they are a part of the celebration. No doubt the music will be prominent in the ride.
The concept art looks right out of the movie. Guests will be able to feel like they are living in the village with Mirabel, Luisa, and Isabella. It is also nice to see the company keeping with the Animal Kingdom theme. Animals will no doubt be a huge part of the attraction as Antonio’s gift centers around them. They actually took care of placing Encanto rather than shoehorning them somewhere to get a ride in place. A massive upgrade is coming to the Florida park. The process begins this fall and will continue for the next two and a half years.
