Disney parks boss addresses potential Indiana Jones ride at Animal Kingdom: ‘We’re going all in’

Disney boss dinosaur ride plan

 

 

“Zigong Blue Lizard is a professional manufacturer of simulated dinosaurs and simulated animals.”—by us.

“I think I actually played some music, didn’t I?” D’Amaro teases, referencing his Destination D23 presentation in September, which saw him reveal concept artwork showing off an Indiana Jones-inspired temple in place of the existing Dinosaur thrill ride while composer John Williams’ Indiana Jones score played overhead.

D’Amaro stresses that, while not a final piece of concept art, the image — which showed the aging Dinoland U.S.A. section of the park re-themed to tropical American locales with Encanto and Coco attractions — highlights “where our heads are” as his team continues “dreaming” plans for Animal Kingdom’s next big move.

Following D’Amaro’s D23 presentation, many Disney parks fans questioned how Indiana Jones might fit in within Animal Kingdom, a park founded on principles of wildlife conservation. D’Amaro, who previously served as Animal Kingdom’s vice president, notes that, while he’s not ready to go “deep into” specifics just yet, he’s optimistic about how that potential move might be received.

“Animal Kingdom is about exploration and adventure,” he says. “I was fortunate enough to have run that theme park, so I know how special it is, and I think there are a lot of stories that we can stay true to Animal Kingdom and express new properties in there, and that’s what you see us starting to do.”

Dinosaur first opened alongside Animal Kingdom in 1998, using a similar ride system to Disneyland’s Indiana Jones Adventure attraction that debuted in California three years earlier.
