Hyacinths got moved to another zoo. New otters should be on show at TOL in a few weeks. The tapir unfortunately did pass. 2 bar headed geese currently reside in the tapir's rather spacious habitat. I am unsure of the ring tails, but I saw several brown collared lemurs in the habitat a few...

As an interesting side note, for Easter week, the price for WAT was approximately $250 for the peak season. I'm not sure if this seasonal pricing will continue, but you may want to plan your trips accordingly if you want to go on WAT during the busy times. Backstage Safari ($72) and Wild...

I cannot speak for the plants, but when you mention the front of the park (I assume you mean the Oasis), the only area currently vacant is a macaws habitat. The Hyacinths (think big blue parrots) have been relocated to another institution, so the Scarlets and Militarys cycle through the 3 Oasis...

Whether its a one man or a two man operation isn't the interesting thing to me. For Crush (and correct me if I'm wrong), they simply use sound alike performers to emulate Crush's speech from the movie. I'm no voice actor, but the classic "surfer dude" voice seems fairly easy to recreate from a...

As far as the China-panda connection, AZA certainly does look good should DAK pursue that, but it's more of a political situation more than anything, as all pandas (even those born on US soil) still belong to China. It's a very expensive endeavor to pursue. Being AZA accredited, does allow DAK...

Just so you guys know, getting accredited by the AZA isn't something new for DAK. They have to go through this inspection process every 5 years or so (The Seas went through it last year). They were accredited from day 1 starting back in 1998 i believe. A team comprised of zoo keepers...

Night Kingdom as a separate facility is more than likely dead. However, elements from that concept can certainly be integrated into DAK. Think of it this way, with this Nightastic promotion coming up, the other parks are getting some new addition, yet all DAK gets is extended hours...

I don't know if NK will happen or not. Frankly, I'm not sure anyone knows for sure or not. What I do know is that planning, research and logistics for it are going on. JR along with other members of DAP have visited BGT with NK in mind. The WTC also has a hand in researching what challenges...

Last I heard, this nocturnal-park-thing had progressed beyond just the blue sky phase. It'd be a nightmare to run for animal programs however...

March

I doubt the 10th will be Beastly in nature. In the animal kingdom, someone is always awake. It's always a bummer when Festival of the Lion King goes dark, but we may see that going dark isn't always a bad thing. Am I talking about an addition to DAK? I plead the "5th."

This is slightly off topic, but Re-Dis, is there any way you can confirm or deny that Dragon Tower (or a similar coaster/flume ride) was still on the drawing board for DAK around...oh let's say Febuary 2005? I would be very interested in your answer either way.-

Miss Jobson got her pink slip and is looking to be a waitress at the new Yak and Yeti. Wilson decided to trade in his plane and is looking to buy a liquid propane powered jeep to tool around in. In the 9 years that Big Red has lived at the Harambe Wildlife Reserve, she probably has had more...

As far as fireworks go, there was a recent bulletin put out to DAK CMs to NOT honk their horns as the drive past the giraffe barns backstage. With the birth of the new baby, it apparently has moved some CMs to do this, but what is intended to be a warm gesture is harmful because 1. It...

I'll be brief: Because it would interfere with animal welfare, there will NEVER be fireworks at DAK. thank you, come again.

Well said.

As of yet, no changes have been made at all, however, the loading dock that is closest to the actual entrance of the ride path is currently down to expand for the extra row. Script changes and what not should come in the next few months.

Many of you who don't like the story, please hear me out. The majority of the people on this board are repeat park goers....even cast members. We go on safari and all the rides at WDW fairly often. As a result, it's not as magical. Think of the families that save for years and years just to...

Ok, so there's got to be some clarification, because things seem to be getting out of hand on here. 1. Yes, they are adding another row of seats to the trucks 2. Yes, one of the docks is now closed off so they can add an extra gate for the new row. 3. Mrs. Jobson being cut out of the script is...
