:fork:Why can't we have this.
I know BK would have been tremendous or the dragon AA would be stuck in B mode :lookaroun

That's going to be one expensive pin. :lol:
Leave it to SellandShip to get it.
Awesome art, though...I'd love to see that.

Expedition Everest instead. Trade the dragon for a Yeti, and the castle for the mountain. I actually think Everest was a better version (assuming the Yeti actually works again).

Really? I've never seen it before.
And it was on eBay. You KNOW that thing was over sold. :lol:

It's sold through the WDI store, Mickey's of Glendale. Apparently it's part of a series of DAK concept art pins. None of them appear to be very popular. Image pins like those don't go over well with most collectors - a lot of people perceive them to look cheaply made.
And very true about being overpriced - especially with who is selling it.

Is it really true that some fired Imagineers created the Lost Continent for IOA after they designed BK for DAK? If you look at the castle in that concept art the architecture looks similar to elements in the Lost Continent...

This is the first thing I thought when I saw the concept art. They would try to overdo the dragon and it would never work correctly.

Me too!i want both...whhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
DAK needs it!
Oh, sheesh. :lol: What a rip off.
And yes, SellandShip is pricey, but he does get good stuff. I've gotten quite a few nice EC WDI Buttons from him.
Yea instead of having a lesser AA and having multiple encounters they would overdo it and it would be in Bmode.

The original plan was for the dragon to breathe fire on the tracks in between trains, they didn't say how they were going to accomplish that. I think that would just caused many more problems also, but that was their original intent. The Imagineers had some great ideas for BK and then again costly ideas also and thats another reason it got the ax.

Nothing like getting your accidentally lit on fire while visiting Dis.
God forbid they just use steam and lighting with some lightning effects and thunder claps along with dragon screaching. Hey, I just saved Dis about a million dollars on the dragon alone!

Thats what jim hill has said and i believe it to be true. Pick a side good and evil or pick a side fire and ice???? come on its right in your face! both have dragons but just change the concept enough to get away with it.
I dont understand why they can take concepts with them to other companies, shouldnt it all be the intelectual (sp?) rights of the disney corp?

True.
Some former Imagineers worked on IoA and Dueling Dragons.
However, other than both having a castle and dragon theme...there were no other similarities.
(Dragon's Tower was a single coaster, not dueling.)
