100% this. Not an hour of Blue Sky “projects”.As long as they are real plans and not " well here's an idea we are thinking of "

Another place to sell booze wouldn’t be surprising.Kinda given up for now since anything will be 2028 at the soonest, but Epic is filling that void very nicely.
However would like to see this back on track., probably be a quicker addition like 2027 if they start now.
RUMOR! TOWER OF TERROR BAR AND LOUNGE COMING TO STUDIOS
14 April, 2016
Rumors have been swirling around the attraction with the haunted elevator. According to wdwnt.com, Twilight Zone Tower of Terror will soon have a bar and lounge.

I heard on the WDWMagic forums that this is for putting in offices, not construction staging. I wouldn’t get too excited.Things are happening!
It’s likely offices for WDI for some major projects. Staging area still to come soon. I’ve heard the Dino land expansion will not be the last project they working on in AK. More should be announced at D23 I suspect.I heard on the WDWMagic forums that this is for putting in offices, not construction staging. I wouldn’t get too excited.
From what I heard, it could be for a different project. Otherwise, the offices would’ve been right next to DinoLand.It’s likely offices for WDI for some major projects.

I’m afraid to tell you I think the ship has sailed on Dinoland.I really think these should be what Disney announces for Animal Kingdom at D23:
• A west side expansion of the park, featuring a Lion King flume ride (per rumors), a different version of Tropical Americas (that features animal exhibits, a boat ride with live animals, a Brazilian steakhouse, the Encanto and Indiana Jones rides, the carousel, and a Yzma's Lab attraction), a "Way of Water" expansion of Pandora, and maybe, just maybe, a different version of Beastly Kingdom.
• Chester & Hester’s Dino-Rama is replaced with something different (but centered on prehistoric animals). The rest of DinoLand stays the same.
• Kali River Rapids and Maharajah Jungle Trek are replaced with Tiger Rapids Run, the same ride that was originally conceived during DAK's development. It would feature live animals and new animal exhibits/encounters for those who aren’t interested in riding TRR.
• Instead of replacing It’s Tough to Be A Bug!, the Zootopia show is either placed in a second theater underneath the Tree of Life, or is placed in a newly-built theater at Rafiki's Planet Watch.
They might’ve changed plans since Joe Rhode came back to lecture new Imagineers.I’m afraid to tell you I think the ship has sailed on Dinoland.
Anything is possible but there's no evidence. Meanwhile, they released videos of research trips to Latin America and of maquettes of the Tropical Americas concept art, which is evidence of moving forward with that project.They might’ve changed plans since Joe Rhode came back to lecture new Imagineers.
It's just that, from the concept art, Tropical Americas doesn't look satisfying and/or won't be great without animal exhibits and an animal trail. They COULD expand the land southeast to include an animal trail as part of the revamp, but the area east of the park is labeled as "unsuitable" and "conservation" on every CFTOD Comprehensive Plan!Anything is possible but there's no evidence.

Oh. I hope they will find a way to include an animal trail to make this new land parallel with Asia and Africa. I think the concept art looks good but I had assumed there would be an animal trail as part of this expansion.

I was also hoping that if they did change their plans and built Tropical Americas as a west side expansion of the park, then there would be lots of space for a boat ride with live animals.Oh.
