IKR? With the exception of Harry Potter, of course. Hopefully EU will be that level!You are giving way too much credit to Universal.

Don't get me wrong, I hope they bring it to WDW too. I'm not convinced AK is the right place because it is cartoonish make believe animals story. I don't think animals being in the movie is enough to qualify for AK, or at least I hope AK stays more true to it's story.I think it looks like Mickey's Toontown at DLR, which is a very nice land. But less cartoony maybe. The movie's design/subject matter of course lends itself to that cartoony look. Unlikely for us to go to Shanghai, so I do hope this comes to the US, or at least Paris or Tokyo as we do go to those.
I don't think Zootopia is going in that area. I think even when they hinted long ago, it wasn't for that area. They need something sooner than later, not 7-8 years from now. And I hope we hear this weekend it's already on the design phase AND that we have a sooner than later plan for Dino Waste Land.What might happen is that they do half of AK's Dinoland as some kind of Moana ride featuring first to at least fill in some of that zone, and eventually the rest of the area gets the Zootopia expansion.
The street truly has the look of IOA cartoon lands in the design elements. Much of the newer Universal was designed by previous Disney Imagineers so there will be similarities. And given the HIGH quality of the Harry Potter Lands, some of it above and beyond Disney I have no problem giving them credit where due.You are giving way too much credit to Universal.
I think the theming is amazing and accurate for Zootopia.
Many of the older IoA lands were designed by former Disney imagineers too. Specifically Lost Continent. They were formerly imagineers for AK that left due to being upset about Beastly Kingdom never happening.The street truly has the look of IOA cartoon lands in the design elements.

Anyone else kinda tired of hearing about every other park besides WDW? Disneyland, Shanghai, Tokyo, the Treasure… even universal? Everything is flooded with those news stories and I just end up checking out because I will (most likely) never be a part of any of that. Losing hope that there will be any WDW news of substance anytime soon. Sorry a downer. Just love my happy place too much for it to just get nothing. (D23 is a coming. I get it. But not very hopeful)
I think it'll be a while, even if there are announcements. Enjoy what there is in the meantime, or maybe branch out if possible?Anyone else kinda tired of hearing about every other park besides WDW?

Agreed… honestly if it wasn’t for Tiana I’d let my AP lapse and sink my Disney Dollars into cruising that said 2024-2025 may be it for meAnyone else kinda tired of hearing about every other park besides WDW?

I don't think so. World hasn't been getting any love for years.Sadly I think some of the DeSantis drama is discouraging much investment in WDW, at least until it’s resolved.
Excellent illustration. How quickly people seem to forget.
I feel like if any park doesn't get love, it's Disneyland Paris. When was the last time they received an an actual ride? Not talking about the Studio park but the castle park.
Yes! And while Tron is a copy from Shanghai (though it's really good imo), Guardians is a WDW exclusive and so so good.Excellent illustration. How quickly people seem to forget.

I was asking about original rides and not rethemes so LOL wow 2006. WDW is eating good compared to Paris.Last completely new attraction was Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast on April 8, 2006.
DLP did get the HyperSpace Mountain retheme in April 29, 2017 and Mickey's PhilharMagic on October 1, 2018, but those were the last non-firework/street show additions to the park.
I agree 100% with all of this. But...I see nothing from the TWDC that would demonstrate refurbishing an entire land in less than 10 years.I don't think Zootopia is going in that area. I think even when they hinted long ago, it wasn't for that area. They need something sooner than later, not 7-8 years from now.
Wow! I went to DLP in 2007 and 2017 and didn't even realize nothing new had happened in those 10 years.Last completely new attraction was Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast on April 8, 2006.
