That's not saying much for Dinorama, is it? At least Mulholland Madness has that
wall to help hide the structure.
Animal Kingdom desperately needs more attractions (indoor, whole family rides), but I can't help but think if they took the combined money spent (wasted) on Dinorama and that
hat over at the Studios, it could have instead given us one decent "C" or "D" attraction in AK (perhaps a dark ride).
Also, there are some "off-the-shelf" rides that would fit the AK concept so much better than a spinner and an exposed coaster track, but that probably wouldn't cost significantly more. For instance, some form of new Skyway would be great, with fantastic views across Discovery Island or the savannah. Indeed, this would have worked much better than the rooftops view of the old MK Skyway (which I still miss). Some type of boat ride (tried previously) is a natural for AK; just need to get the correct theme (so far as I'm concerened, just move the retired Mike Fink Keel Boats over to AK). Either (and Disney Imangineering
must have more, better ideas!) would address the "more to do" issue, but through complementing the AK theme rather than clashing with most of the park (it fits with Chester & Hester's, but the "roadside carnival" theme is out of place in AK).
