Overhead nets removed from around the Tree of Life at Disney's Animal Kingdom

Excellent. Got them down just in time so I'll never actually see them!

Nets down...Yeti next?

An actual Yeti will be found and work in the parks before the AA is fixed.

I thought that I was seeing angles of the Tree of Life this past weekend that I hadn't seen in quite a long time, but I don't remember taking the Discovery Island Trails in a long time (if ever), so I couldn't remember if this part was previously netted or not. Tough to be a Bug was down when I went to see it on Saturday, so I didn't get to check that queue. Still, the "back" of the tree was unobscured

Have the paths reopened around the tree?

Have the paths reopened around the tree?

On Saturday, the paths around the back were mostly open. The paths around the front I am fairly sure were still behind construction walls.

So the next question is... was anything actually done? Or did they finally just say 'overreaction - take them down'??

Oh yay!

*claps hands in rapturous applause*

Yay!! Love to hear when things are going in the right direction!

This is news that I never thought I would hear. Now yeti and BAH and all the major travesties will have been amended.

Excellent news! At long last...

Great news! There were still nets up in the ITTBAB queue on Sunday and they really did spoil the views of the Tree of Life. Glad to see they're completely gone.

Wonderful! I'm looking forward to seeing it as it should be.

 

[fractal]

So... branch falls in April of 2012... Disney finally fixes Sept of 2014. 29 months... impressive!

I am happy tho they finally got around to doing it.. and the fact they actually had to remove the nets suprises me they did this.. but maybe the park getting those larger expansions brings some hope they will finally address those lingering issues. Gotta believe there is at least HOPE for the yeti.. at least a redone yeti

 

[Sped2424]

Good for tdo. I can't help but feel the only reason it got fixed was for the upcoming supposed update to the tree for the rivers of light finale.

 

[Obi Walt Kenobi]

Fantastic News! The nets really took away from viewing the Tree of Life.

 

[sendmejunk77]

Yay!

I'm not sure this is wise on Disney's part. When the next branch breaks off and hurts someone, this is going to make the case for negligence easier to win.
