The overhead nets that were covering large sections of the queue around the Tree of Life at Disney's Animal Kingdom have been removed.
Following an incident back in 2012 where a section of branch fell into the queue area out of operating hours, overhead canopies and nets were installed throughout much of the queue area.
The recent near 2 month-long refurbishment of the Tree of Life has now rectified the situation, and the nets and canopies have been removed from the queue over the past week.
