I like that with Tropical Americas they do seem like they're making an effort to still focus it on animals and nature.

Also the mention of Latin American food got me excited.

 

Yeah I remember hearing rumours about Monsters Inc Land a DHS for years, and the rumors always said it was going to be Animation Courtyard extending into the backstage area behind Animation Courtyard. That they'd demolish one of the larger castmember office buildings to make way for it.

 

The newest attraction for 2025 and 2026 is construction walls.

 

Assuming that Monsters coaster is a Vekoma family/kids suspended coaster…did anything in this list look like a thrill ride, or something aimed at adults?

Dinosaur is just getting the Disneyland reskin but anything else? These announcements did nothing for me, my 2025 trip will still be Epic Universe focused.

 

Sounded like Cars land was going to have 1 thrill ride and 1 family ride in it. Indiana Jones will be mostly "thrill" ride assuming the Dinosaur track stays as the base. No details on Villains land but possible something exciting goes there as far as rides.

Mostly good news on things coming in the next 3-4 years. I think they knew Universal was going to dominate '25 and '26 so having things ready to go after that will start to bring people away from there again

 

You can see.a.coaster in the background of the villains land art. So that will be probably be the one adult thrill ride and area to compete with universal monsters land

 

Still confused by the main ride in the Cars area. So it it basically like Radiator Springs Racers, but just called something else?

 

It’s off road Radiator Springs. I’d expect it to be called Thunder Canyon or something similar

 

My wife noticed they are doing a lot of same, but different across the American parks. Same Radiator Springs style ride, but different as it is more off-road focused. Same Indy ride, but totally new story. Avatar land, but based on the new movies. It’s taking the things that are working at the other parks and providing a new story for them so you feel like you have to go to both Florida and California to see how they’re different.

 

new smugglers run mission was needed years ago

 

I’m happy that Avengers Campus is getting two new rides. I really don’t like Webslingers tbh. It’ll be nice to have something new and fresh.

From what I’ve heard, one of them (I think Infinity Defense?) has been in the works for years. Cool it’s finally seeing the light of day

 

Overall I’m pretty content with what’s coming to Disneyland/DCA. Most of it are IPs I wouldn’t necessarily prefer, but with the rides they’ve opened in DL the past couple years, I don’t doubt that they’ll do something great with them.

…alas, no Tomorrowland update…

 

Yeah that’s what it looks like to me. It looks like RSR with slightly different theming

 

No Tomorrowland again is insane.

 

Cool announcements, now let’s see if any of them actually happen

 

Again Josh D'Amaro started the panel by saying "everything we are announcing today is in active development. That means shovels have already hit the dirt. Nothing is blue sky. Everything you'll see today will open with 5 years"

They seem very aware that fans come in expecting none of these to materialize.

 

I’m weirdly excited for that Kevin carousel

 

I’m too excited for that little Walt/Lincoln area of Disneyland

I always loved the great moments with Mr Lincoln proudly

 

we can be the pilots, @Sean Murphy is gonna be one of the shitty engineers lol

 

Not a fan of this attraction name. Sounds like it could be the name of a bad marvel mobile game.

 

The reports I read before this became official said Tom Sawyers Island and Rivers Of American were going to be replaced. Not surprising to me. People are mad about this though.

 

aka here’s a clone of Radiator Spring Racers. It’s just so incredibly lazy to use the same ride system that’s already in use at Test Track.
