I'm just putting it out there. But I feel thses 3 are just the beginning. I'll put my hat in the ring for carousel of progress and the race way falling by the wayside soon. I'm also concerned why the people move hasn't moved since reopening.

They are replacing all of the linear induction motors as they have been failing recently. They used to replace them one at a time but they were going down so regularly that it was time to switch them all out to make it more reliable.

I think you may be correct, this was the same opinion of a recent DIS podcast I watched. So glad we decided to experience carousel of progress on our last visit.

Great news! That’s one of our favourites!

I've also seen that mentioned on the web as well. It just seems an odd fit.

I do wonder whether it's purely based on the fact that Dinosaur is the same ride system as the Indiana Jones ride in California (so 'easy' to retheme) and many people don't like the DinoLand theming at AK. Or, to put it another way, it's not based on any actual information coming out of Disney but just people's desires.

I’ve thought that too. The Dinosaur ride is so similar it would be easily rethemed but maybe they have another plan for the area where Primeval Whirl is. I also remember reading somewhere that the Conservation Station may be rethemed to a Zootopia theme and that never happened.

Yeah, there are plenty of "rumours" that are just that.

I wonder whether Stitch's Great Escape is ever going to change to a Wreck It Ralph themed attraction, as some rumours state?

If it does I hope they totally change it. I still can’t cope with the memory of Extraterrorestrial Alien Encounter .

I found the while experience terrifying with no redeeming qualities. And yes I was an adult and yes I knew there was no real alien!
