Rumor: Disney's Animal Kingdom Planning Indiana Jones Land

Indiana Jonesmay be receive his own theme parking lot land at Walt Disney World . The treasure - hunting franchise had migrated over to Disney when Lucasfilm was take ( along with theStar WarsIP ) in October 2012 . However , leveraging the franchise ’s pecuniary potential has been slow - going ever since . Although they have already bring about several film , secret plan , and television receiver shows ( not to mention the many novel and risible books ) within theStar Warssaga , Disney and Lucasfilm have remained mostly still with compliments to theIndiana Jonesseries - but not for much longer .

by from greatly expanding theStar Warsgalaxy on - screen , The Walt Disney Company has also pass the last few years buildingGalaxy ’s Edge(theirStar Wars - themed lands ) at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World , and now it look like Disney Parks & Resorts wants to continue mining Lucasfilm ’s program library for additional subject park commonwealth ideas . In summation to Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford come back to the long - run enfranchisement withIndiana Jones 5 , it seems that Indy may receive his own theme park land .

Orlando Informerreports that Disney Imagineering plans on incorporating the same engrossment glide path they took withPandora : The World of Avatarfor an Indiana Jones Land . The idea would be to supervene upon Disney ’s Animal Kingdom ’s DinoLand U.S.A. , with half the rides being demolish and replaced , and the other half being re - theme forIndiana Jones - themed ride . Interestingly , though this hearsay has n’t been confirm , it ’s sure as shooting plausible that Disney Imagineering has thought up fashion to restructure DinoLand into an Indiana Jones Land .

The opinion of replacing one-half of DinoLand with new attractions makes mother wit , but what may make the great unwashed to rethink the hearsay is the approximation of re - theming the other one-half . The fact is , Disney Parks & Resorts established a common law for this type of overhaul by re - theming The Twilight Zone ’s Tower of Terror ride at Disney ’s California Adventure earlier this summer into the Marvel - themedGuardians of the Galaxy – Mission : BREAKOUTride . accord to the rumor , DinoLand ’s flagship ride , Dinosaur , will be overlayed into Walt Disney World ’s own Indiana Jones Adventure ( based on Disneyland ’s Indy ride ) , since both ride share a similar track system . Plus , as attender and yearly offer holder can certify to , Disneyland ’s Indiana Jones Adventure has been one of the park ’s most popular rides ever since it open in 1995 ( despite its incessant crack-up ) , so it make sense that Disney would want to practice that as their flagship ride for their Orlando resort .

consider the reports that suggest Mungo Park attendance has barely increased for Disney ’s Animal Kingdom this summer , despite opening theirAvatar - theme nation , it ’s imaginable that Disney Parks & Resorts would need to build thought around their more consumer - drawn property , hence their preceding decisions to build Toy Story Land and Star Wars Land . Perhaps next up on that list is , indeed , Indiana Jones Land .
