In an interview with @EW , Josh D'Amaro talked about the DinoLand U.S.A. concept art (2023 version) and stressed it's not a final piece of concept art - but rather highlights "where our heads are" as Disney continues "dreaming" plans for Animal Kingdom.

A 🧵on general thoughts from my 3 day Disneyland trip. Some background: I grew up going to WDW, have been to DL maybe 5 previous trips now, last Sept. we did 3 days at Tokyo, and I've been to Shanghai. I generally much prefer non-castle parks, like EPCOT or TDS.

How would you feel about the following? Blue: maintained as is, potentially with a walkway to the island from Frontierland. Pink: redevelopment as a new land. Does this maintain the feel? Is the issue the loss of the pink, or the blue?

Disney Sea is not only the best park in the world, it has to be the greatest use of architecture to shape atmosphere. I'm beyond words. Every corner causes another meltdown. It's everything I ever wanted Imagineering to be but gave up on through lowered expectations.

The D23 announcement is fascinating to see how the US is so dependent and obsessive about cars. First, replacing a natural, untouched area with a Cars cartoon ride Second, we're arguing whether the area in aqua (Muppets) should be bulldozed so cars can sit and do nothing (pink)

I know I keep harping on it but this ride is such a total disaster and I love it. It's a tour de force on how to design a ride as poorly as possible. The least competent people always end up as pilot, nothing is explained, the UX makes no sense, it's all just baffling.

Dumping Rivers of America is the perfect example of IP brainrot I've argued against. Disney could integrate the existing river and island into a new land that makes sense. But execs told them it has to be Cars Land, so it gets bulldozed. It's lazy, nonsensical, bad design.

Horrendous. Obviously I'm biased in my likes, but there was not a single moment of inspiration, creativity, or quality. Nothing but clones and IP. Six Flags comic book schlock and movie rides so every park feels the same. There is no hope for Disney Parks with these owners.

Overall, the WDI refurbishment of the Morocco pavilion has gone well however we have our first misstep and it’s a big one. The elaborate planters once handcrafted by the King of Morocco’s artisans has been dumbed down using tile which belongs on the restroom floor at DHS.

Aside from the News Boys (RIP), don’t forget that the Red Car was baked into the DCA 2.0 mythology with “in-universe” ads for shops & dining, plus the CAPTIVATING idea that in the 1920s, the Hollywood Tower Hotel hadn’t built its main, doomed tower yet.

Disney should put in an "actually I'd rather leave than be Engineer" door in Smuggler's Run. It's an embarrassingly poorly designed part of the ride, with nothing to do. Like, imagine if 33% of the time you just turned around before Mara and headed back to the station

Every land should have as much moving stuff as is feasible. Moving stuff is great. e.g. Use drones to simulate faraway moving spaceships at night in Galaxy's Edge. Hovering firefly things in Pandora. Peoplemovers.

This document is INCREDIBLE: the original training manual for EPCOT Center in 1982. Few things better outline the intentions behind the park. I feel @WEDreads could make this a book selection easily. Great work, Disney Docs.

Communicore Hall is the perfect example that WDI and Disney: 1. have no idea what they're doing in the US parks 2. have no plan on how to fix that 3. how little they care about 1 and 2 Future World 2024 is a total mess, and likely completely beyond fixing. And they don't care.
