Honestly. But, at the heart of it, it IS on nature, and would need a bit of adjustment. But the concept works.

The concept is the wrong kind of fantasy for DAK, IMO. It's filled with stories that revolve around fanciful machines, rather than the animals. It's more about the technology than the nature. Personally, I think MI would fit much, much better over on the Speedway as a transition from fatasy to technology.

And there is no way the Hulk is happening, either. Spidey, however...

But it could be more suited to nature, than machine, in the end. And I would love to see it in MK, with BK in DAK. That would be the BEST fit. However, as far as I know, MI was slated for DAK until late 2008. Now slated for DAK? They want another "real" land/country. If anything, that should go to EPCOT...while DAK gets the breed of natural fantasy it so desperately needs.

Originally Posted By HokieSkipper ^^^ I don't know. I've gotten pretty darn wet on JPRA before. And yes, I was exaggerating a bit about the water rides in IoA, but they are 3 of the major rides in the park, and knowing that EE doesn't do big coasters, it reduces his ride count by quite a lot.
