Tropical Americas General Discussion - Opening 2027

[UniversalRBLX]

Last I heard its not going to be trackless. It's been described by some insiders that it'll be like Figment, in the sense that there will be multiple cars per train, and they can pivot and turn different directions.

Should have been more specific, but I'm hoping it's more like Mystic Manor in how the story plays out through special effects and illusions. Encanto is perfect for that.

They didn't take a trip over to Central America to see the structures personally?

Nope. instead they went to Epcot and looked up "Human Sacrifices". They are still looking for "talking with animals" but Doolittle is pupping up so they declare him Maya..

yes, they did. my understanding is they traveled to the yucatán peninsula. i imagine they spent some time at tikal in northern guatemala — that’s what i would do if disney was footing the bill for my vacation. i mean, work trip.

Wild to see construction actively happening at a WDW park. Feels refreshing lol

So how long does Dinosaur have to live? I would think they would at least want 15-18 months to flip it to Indy (that is still a pretty tight turnaround).

I know there’s a lot of talk about it being the same layout as the other two Indy attractions, but I do think there is some variation, not to mention entirely different show building shapes (especially vertically).

Both existing Indy attractions use tight spaces to open into large ones to their advantage. I know this new one is to have its own identity, but I would think it would still need a central show room that can be seen from multiple areas (like the lava pit in DL and the tornado in TDS).

Didnt they announce we have until the end of the year to ride it??

Gonna be honest yall, the fact Disney did the same announcement of Boneyard closing as HRRR (closes 9/2, last day is the day before) and there’s no clamoring for clarity, demanding EOD in the title, or making fun of Disney sure is something!

Yes, Disney said it will be open "through" 2025.

So the assumption is it closes in January.
