Zootopia: Better Zoogether (DAK)

[Freak]

Another day, another Disney attraction getting nerfed.

To be fair, wasn't Mermaid show redo well done? Test Track 3.0? Star Tours? GOTG at DCA? HM at Disneyland has never been better...and so on

Not saying this isn't meh but also Disney hasn't been making too many bad attractions or redos in recent memory

I assume Mando being added to the Falcon will be a good change, Soarin Over America I assume could be better then the World version, and even the Muppets taking over the coaster to me should be a win

It looks like they might have brought back the rats in the theater gag from HIStA or the bugs under your butt gag from ITTBaB, so that’s pretty cool. The 3-D used looks pretty good imo…too bad this show seems firmly geared towards the VERY young and mostly utilizes air blasts and water effects. Looks like this is going to be a one-and-done for most. ITTBaB was legitimately the scariest 3-D show ever made, and no matter how you slice it, this replacement is an elephant-sized downgrade. Disney continues to fail to win me back over. If only they actually cared.

“Let’s hear you sing Zootopia , for legal reasons I cannot." Is the joke that Disney was too cheap to pay Shakira to sing?

The fact that I saw the word "layover" used more than once in first reactions to this must mean they didn't change much since this is definitely supposed to be permanent.

I doubt that. But would else would they really in that the Tree of Life space? is there anyway it could be retrofitted for a dark ride?

This is one of those 'good enough' type replacement attractions. It hit the target audience, young kids/families, with an IP
that is popular with them, without having to spend big money budget wise. Disney really doesn't care what hardcore fans think
about the attraction. It fit the spot and budget.

The thing is, though, that Disney could have made the effort to make the show make more sense in Animal Kingdom. They chose not to. Just like they chose not to with Frozen in Norway. There are simple writing fixes -- things that don't cost any more money than what was spent -- that could have addressed that, and still been a show that little kids would have enjoyed.

It annoys me to see Disney not try, and it makes me more concerned about Tropical Americas (despite Disney having said the right things -- so far -- about keeping the thematic continuity of the park in mind as those attractions are developed).

To be fair, this is truly indeed the first major Animal Kingdom project since Joe Rohde's retirement back in early 2021. It's only fitting, really.
