Animal Kingdom 20th

I have seen EE as being one of the rides expected to be enhanced for WDW50. My hunch is that this would include some sort of improvement to the current yeti AA situation (and hopefully something more substantial than a bulb replacement for the strobe light)

They need to fix the steam and mist on the trains and in the Mountain. Isn't Mount Everest cold? Add a intense cool-air conditioning with wind. It's an experience, not a roller coaster!

New lighter weight AA. That's all that's needed.

@marni1971 you know I don't like inquiring, but that I like the yeti more, lol. Could the same movement/look be achieved with what you're suggesting? Which I'm assuming is a proposal you've seen? You don't have to answer. Just thought I'd try ;o)

 

[UpAllNight]

I’d like to see improvements in the projection room too

Well, for starters, the Dark Side Half Marathon will be run through the park....

I have an instrumental version as the ringtone on my iPhone!

My favorite song!!! I have a cd in my car that plays this lol

Maybe we’re just unlucky, but we tend to come off this ride soaked, to the point we had to buy my daughter new clothes one day. My wife now puts ponchos on the kids to avoid this. I don’t mind getting wet, but I don’t want to be soaked all the way through for an attraction that is over so soon after it starts.

You either get soaked or barely wet on Kali. It all depends on whether you are positioned to get hit by the geysers at the top of the lift - if you are, you're drenched.

I was positioned towards the gyseres, and NOTHING

I hate this ride. I've gotten completely, miserably soaked every time I've ridden it. It's just not long enough or interesting/thrilling enough to make that sodden misery worth my while. I've learned my lesson and now leave it to those who enjoy that sort of thing. More power to them.

I'm with you on this one. The last time I rode this I got completely soaked to the bone. I ended up going back to the hotel to change.

D23 has announced that they will do something for the park's 20th anniversary in April, but no details yet.

It;s kind of odd. In 2011 when we went to WDW, Splash barely got us damp, and yet Kali drenched us. Summer 2016, the total opposite!

With your back to the geysers or facing the geysers? If the former, I have no idea how you dodged it.

The ride just needs to get more guests soaked. When I went on last time I barely got a few drops of water like a little splash.

water is the least of it's problems....theres nothing to look at....the story is gutted...the ride is way too short.

And it’s not as thrilling as IOA’s & DCA’s. Rapids rides have to have some thrill.

Has a similarity to the 15th anniversary logo..

I know this is a bit of a stretch, but I think Pandora was sort of an early 20th gift for the AK's 20th. Yes, it opened about 11 months early, but technically it is still new for the 20th. I know a lot of people won't consider that, and am not saying it was intentional or not, but it really was a good expansion to help usher in the park's 20th.
