Animal Kingdom Expansion Ideas

[DWImagineer]

Disney's Animal Kingdom has such a great potential to be one of the greatest theme parks if it would just take the initiative. So here are my ideas for some expansions.

North America- this would not require much land just tear down part of Camp Minnie-Mickey and add North American Wildlife.

Bother Bear Coaster- a kiddie coaster

Grizzly Bear
Black Bear
Polar Bear
Musk Ox
Cougar
Gray Wolf
Evergalde Animals
Desert Animals
Rainforest Animals
NA aviary, would contain Resplendent Quetzal, and Reptile House
NA aquarium

Australia- Welcome to the Outback
Legend of the Bunyip- A Motion Simuator of some sort telling the story of the outback's Bunyip

Koala
Womabt
Tasmanian Devil
Kangaroo
Wallaby
Dingo
Duck-billed platypus
Australia- aviary, reptile house, and aquarium

South America- mainly based on the Amazon Jungle
Anaconda- a very twisted corkscrew coaster

A log flume based on the destrucuction and preservation of the Amazon rain forest. At the end of this ride your log boat plummets down a huge drop after almost getting sawed in half by a gaint saw inside a log cutting factory.

Jaguar
Tapir
Capybara
SA avairy and reptile house
SA Aqauarium- contains the rare Amazonian Manatees and Amazon River Dolphins

Europe- mainly a place to dine and shop- has one attraction, and few animals.

Loch Ness Monster- A high intensity Mack water coaster based on the Loch Ness Monster. The story begins like this: First the line enters a collapsing old Scottish castle. As the line progresses you can view information and pictures of the beast's sightings. Finally a slected amount of people enter the boarding station thorugh a window you can see the tranquil loch with a huge black figure swimming about it. Suddenly the lights begin to flicker and then fail. Next you hear a gut-wrenching growl, you look at the window and there are two red eyes gleaming back. the lights come on and you board the ride. First the boat goes out into the loch where it is disturbed by rough bumping( extremely sharp turns) and distubances in the water. Next your boat goes into a dark cave with looming red eyes. your boat now goes onto steel track onto a hill lift towards the red eyes. As soon as you get to the top, the monster show its full form and tries to take a snap at you, but your boat has other plans. The boat now plummets through a huge drop into sheer darkness and into a series a sharp turns and sudden drops where the monster attacks at your boat now and then. Then you finally see a way out the cave but the monster blocks it. Your boat then takes a small drop downward and into a splash zone getting you soaked! Now you return from your journey to do what your please.

Ibex
Spanish Lynx
Fallow Deer
Europe aviary, reptile house, and aquarium

Oceans of the World- a marine themed area where many marine life is found. There are no rides only animal attractions and shows.

a killer whale show
a bottlenose-dolphin experience/show
Pinniped Exhibits( seals, otters, & such)
Arctic and Anarctic Waters- a group of exhibits displaying penguins, puffins, walruses, beluga whales and more
Coral Reef- also includes sharks( hopefully the Great White or Whale Sharks) and other predatory fishes
Mysteries of the Deep Aquarium- featuring Coelacanths

Beastly Kingdom
Dragon Flying coaster
Chronicles of narnia ride
can't think of anything else

Hope your liked my ideas. If you have any comments or anything else to add please feel free too.

You could probably just merge Loch Ness into Beastly Kingdom, which is basically a european fantasy creature area anyway...

 

[DWImagineer]

You could, but I think the Beastly Kingdom might for animals that never were. The Loch Ness Monster is torn between these two areas and would most likely work with either or. Also, Expedition Everest is based on the yeti, which is like the loch ness monster in that it is considered an animal but there is not enough evidence to prove it. But Beastly Kingdom seems to me that it would contain animals that were never sighted in recent times.

Beastlie Kingdomme is based largely on european lore, it renders both your Loch ness idea and your entire "europe" land obsolete. especially if the land has very little to do with animals.

The Yeti is an asian creature, that's why it's in asia.

 

[DWImagineer]

Well if Beastly Kingdom is based on just European myths then I guess that would be good.

 

[Epcot82Guy]

Concepts that I would install:

Camp MinnieMickey becomes the Legendary Forest. This takes over a large swipe of land back all the way to the bus stops. You enter through twisted tress. It evetually opens up to a clearing featuring several attractions.
1. The main theater will house Kurios' Menagerie (working title - in what was Festival of the Lion King - which will have run its course before this starts) will feature a mix 3D and live-action/AA presentation of some odd creatures from mythology in a fun show with strong special effects.
2. The Dragon's Tale: A dark ride where you board one of nine Chinese dragons and take a whirlwind tour of some of the world's mythology regarding dragons (with some rather HOT special effects along the way).
3. Bring in a smaller version of the unicorn maze from BK and incorporate some of Fantasia's characters in here as well.
4. The main attractions will be a modified version of JTTCOTE. It will feature much the same story line but will also include a run over a water-based area incorporating Verne's 20KL as an additional feature.
In this area, there will be meet and greets with the characters from narnia and Fantasia.


With the balance at the front between Dinoland and LF, the continents will flesh out the remainder of the park.

Starting after LF, you will come to the Americas. This will be one larger area divided by the river. South America will feature the peaks of the Chilean mountains and work down to Amazon areas with some of the fauna from these areas. North America will reflect more the plains and mountain foothill forests of the Great Plains areas, featuring many of the same animals listed in previous posts. This will start in the forest areas, climb upwards into some rocky cliff areas and end overlooking a large plains area.

Attractions:
1. Pochohontas will find a new home in the North American section with a similar set-up. The show will exit onto the walking trail.
2. Western River Expedition. Back where the rocky areas are will be home to a large Mesa-looking building. This boat adventure, taken from the original MK concept, will feature some of Tall Tale's and the real South West's famous creatures. A whimsical version (think WoM-style) of rattlers, Blue the Ox, Buffalo, etc. will be along the way with a catchy theme song.
3. Amazong River Trek. Imagine Jungle Cruise on steroids. This water coaster starts taking you through the jungles of the Amazon, encountering some not-so-happy animal residents (that snake won't just hang in the trees this time). Eventually, you divert off the river course in your boat and enter an Incan temple (the Temple of the Jaguar). After encountering some AA namesakes and some others, you reach a large Jaguar god that is not happy to have you there. You are raised into the air via elevator (SWSD's JTA) facing the large stone god while projections of the animals are angered at the intrusion. You eventually reach the top and descend through a spirit-projected coaster section that ends in a crest and then down the trough out of the temple into the water below.


AUSTRALIA

Sitting between Africa and Asia sits the entrance to Australia (next to where the current Flights of Wonder Theater sits). This will basically take over the area currently held by the Railroad. There will be many animal exhibits here. There will be indoor and outdoor areas of viewing so that the nocturnal animals can be seen.

Attractions:
1. Alchera: A large recreation of Ayres Rock houses a dark ride in line of TDL's Pooh. The premise is that you are going on an adventure to the base of the rock to visit the caves. You board mini Off-road vehicles outdoors on a "track." You pass some animal areas and eventually start into a small cave at the base of the rock. Once inside, odd lighting, noises, and music begins. Suddenly, the far rock wall opens, and you enter (each vehicle through a separate door into a separate room) a glowing chamber. You then take a trek through the Dreamtime of Australian Aborigine mythology that shows the creation of everything. Although this is not directly related to animals, it does involve many animal-based references throughout the stories. At night, Ayers rock will have lighting that makes it appear to glow green.
2. The Outback. This will be a kids area set up with attractions based on the animals of the Australian Outback.

NOTE: Because the train station would disappear, Pulse would appear in Africa. This show in the round would feature African stories of the animal-world-rhythm pulsing through everyone (Circle of Life-ish) as told through original instruments of African tribes. There will be projection images in the center of the stage on large tribal screens. There will be a walkway that leads from Pulse into Australia.


EUROPE
Reaching along the northern side of Asia, the bamboo and other areas give way to the trees of the classic northern European forests. Smaller mountains sit near Everest, creating a continuation of the mountain range (although the Himilayans don't actually reach the Eurpoean ranges, we'll pretend, ok). A small European village (northern European along the mountains area moving down more toward the classic French, German, and Italianate style moving toward Australia). The forest trek features the animals also listed in other posts. A walkway will extend past Kali (which will be extend a bit after the initial hill to include a smaller drop, second small lift, and more rapids). This will come out near the lodge through the forest near the moutain base.

Attractions:
1. Along the lower peaks sits the Alpine Run. This small, family coaster featuring open-sided cars that resemble sleds. You run through some small caves and past many AA animals. This is a mini-Everest of sorts so that anyone can ride. It is more fun and not "thrilling" per se.
2. Aesop's garden. This area closer to Australia features vignetes of Aesop's famous tales.
3. Gaston's Lodge. Ok. Perhaps DEAD animals aren't quite so appropriate, but this antler-laden lodge will feature a stage show similar to the drinking scene in the stage show. It also has other drinking songs (tailored, of course) in a panEuropean festhaus-pub-lodge style.
4.


ANTARCTICA
Along the northern bank by Dinoland (where the current Theater in the Wild is) will be taken over by a small land designated to the icy realm. The major attractions will be an indoor area themed like an ice cave (Ice Station Cool on steroids) with penguins and antarctic seals and a large tank of antarctic fish and algae.

Attractions:
1. (can't think of a name yet). Similar to the old Arctic attraction at Sea WOrld, this simulator will be a bit different. Unlike a traditional attraction, this will be a small theater attraction. The general premise is that you will be swept away on an ice sheet as a glacer releases and ice breaks the windows above (which releases in cold air). The entire floor will rock (along with the side walls, making it look like the room is shifting entirely). Eventually, you get latched back to the base.

 

[DWImagineer]

Great Ideas!!! Though it would have been nice if they would have just added a few more lands before the park open like the originaly planned Beastly Kingdom and Australia. So we wouldn't be fantacizing what we think should go in there.

 

[hunterfalcon]

The AK needs less animals and more rides. You can see animals in a zoo, you come to WDW for something more.

 

[stitchcastle]

here are my additions :

Beastlie Kingdomme (original spelling included)
-occupying the land formerly called Camp Minnie-Mickey

- Basically BK will be the BK the way it was meant to be, a giant land divided between fantasy creatures of light (Search For The Unicorn, Fantasia Gardens) and dark (Dragon Tower). I'm assuming you all already know all about these attractions so I won't elaborate on them as much

-Draco The Wise - an AA show featuring the giant Dragon voiced by Sean Connery in Dragonheart. This combines the enchanted Tiki Room and Turtle Talk letting the audience interact with the great noble dragon and learning life lessons and virtues from him.

-The Dancing Tree - an updated variation of the Dumbo ride where guests would board a tall tree that would spin them round and round , forwards, backwards, upwards and downwards dancing to classical music. Its night version involves a "Dancing with Fairies" segment where "fairies" play along with the guests in the ride.

The Amazon
-A land dedicated to the world's largest rain forest and the animals that call her home. We find ourselves in the fictional tribal nation of Jaburu where the tribespeople have learned to perch their homes high atop the forest canopy keeping a watchful eye over the great many creatures that dwell amongst the jungle's shade.
-almost the entire land is elevated atop tall trees overlooking various exhibits of Amazonian wildlife

-The Aviatory
- The Jaburu tribespeople worship and admire birds, which is why they have a special tribal center where they feed all the hundreds of species of birds that are in the rainforest, here in the Aviatory, they let us share their time honored tradition.
-basically a giant aviary where guests can feed, watch and play with birds...doo doo wipes are given away for free.

-Amazon River Cruise
- Guests will be able to experience the Amazon river the way it was meant to be seen, by boat. Boarding extended canoes, guests are guided by a tour guide and an amazon native through the lush secretive forests and piranha infested waters of the world's largest river.
-Small World (mini boats) meets the Jungle Cruise (witty tour guide) and Kilimanjaro Safaris (live animals) with a hint of Splash Mountain (big drop)
-You are basically taken on a tour through the Amazon River past exhibits of native jaguars, sloths, crocodiles, various birds. All is going well until a band of illegal smugglers ambush the boat and unwittingly takes us to an ancient temple dedicated to Piranhas...which coincidentally, is full of them. The Temple then traps us inside and begins filling the tiny chamber with piranha-filled water causing it to rise and having our lives at the mercy of these hungry creatures. But worry not! for the native that has been guiding us remembers a song that his grandmother taught him and finds a secret switch that opens a secret escape hatch...that sends us plummeting back to safety.

-The Temple of The Anaconda
-a thrilling roller coaster ride within a temple that is inhabited by a legendary giant snake...who just happens to be hungry.
(more info in my "If I could improve WDW" thread)

that's it for now but I have a whole bunch of other additions to AK including:

Park-wide "pluses" - From the brand new Botanica's Garden, to a thrilling new roller coaster and 2 new e-ticket attractions in Dinoland to the new and improved "Festival of the Lion King", there will be more to see than has ever been seen in Disney's Wildest Theme Park

A Bug's World - brand new area celebrating the world of insects

Antarctica - Polar Bears! Penguins! Derigibles! Oh my!

Disney's Oceanic Animal Kingdom (new complementary park right outside AK...now renamed Disney's Wild Animal Kingdom, both parks forming Disney's Animal Kingdom)

Bears are not plausible in Florida because they go bald there. But if Disney where to buy enough land in the part of California where the farmers are running out of water there are something like 500,000 acres of land that can't be farmed because of the lack of water. Why not buy 32,000 acres of it and build a new world aka 50 sq. Miles and build a new Disney world there is going to be a high speed railway to connect to Anaheim aventualy. All you would have to do is invent desalmanation process that's cheap buy up some land by the sea desalmanate and pump the water to the new Disney world and the land parched farmers. On the property you can build a park for modern animals a second for pre-historical animals and a third park with a mythical creature theme you can put a natural history museum next to the pre-historic park and an aquarium next to the water park and then if you want you can make a marvel park and a star wars park. Modern animal park in south America should have an emperor's new groove flume ride that has a huge dip and gets everyone soaked. Grizzly Gulch would have a clone of the Hong Kong Disney coaster the country bear jamboree and mega splash mountain (splash mountain with a 100 ft. Drop.) And grizzly bears, brown bears, black bears, polar bears and Kodiak bears. Australia will have typical Australian animals and a rescuers down under ride similar to soarin where you're riding the great golden eagle. In north America it would have a second safari through Yellowstone park with all the animals that live in Yellowstone. The park would also have ever thing florida's park has except dinoland usa. And expedition Everest, and Pandora. Because dinoland USA would be in the pre-historic park and the others would be in the mythical creatures park.

Once Universal’s theme park rights to Marvel expires they could add Wakanda.

Did I click on the parody troll thread bump??

Bears in Florida go bald??? Come to my electric co-op annual meeting and see the bears living in Florida. Black, brown and polar all are housed or roam here and can be seen upclose and personal if you wish.
I wonder about the sanity of people/trolls creating accounts just to spew fantasy not even trying to make a plausible post.

I wasn't spewing nonsense I read about bears going bald in Florida a few years back if you fixed the problem cool I love bears.

Yeah, I fixed it last week....

 

[J4546]

add beastly kingdoms on west side of park where lake/park resource buildings are now, relocate buildings and use that area for massive expansion possibly using some of it of more pandora as well. make the west side of park fantasy based and the east side reality/ancient based.

Also, fix that terrible kali river rapids and make it 3+ times longer and actually good.

 

[Donald Duck 25]

Yeah, I fixed it last week....

Excellent the article I was talking about was written in the los Angeles times 0n Jan 5, 2003 and it stated that black bears were going bald in Florida so maybe it wasn't all bears like I said my mistake it has been a long time since I read that article. If you want to read it just Google do bears go bald in florida and it will pop right up.

 

[Arctic-Xodus]

What my brain had in mind for new lands are already done by other people.

ANTARCTICA
Along the northern bank by Dinoland (where the current Theater in the Wild is) will be taken over by a small land designated to the icy realm. The major attractions will be an indoor area themed like an ice cave (Ice Station Cool on steroids) with penguins and antarctic seals and a large tank of antarctic fish and algae.

Australia- Welcome to the Outback
Legend of the Bunyip- A motion simulator of some sort telling the story of the outback's Bunyip

Koala
Wombat
Tasmanian Devil
Kangaroo
Wallaby
Dingo
Duck-billed platypus
Australian aviary, reptile house, and aquarium

The only changes I would make are as follows:

NORTH AMERICA

• Add some dark ride elements based on the original 2 films to the Brother Bear coaster & call it Brother Bear: Nature Calls (after the movie poster)

ANTARCTICA

• Add a boat ride/dark ride similar to the Gruffalo River Ride Adventure ride at Chessington World of Adventures, and have it be themed around DisneyNature's Penguins film (I think DisneyNature would fit well here)
• Oceana from the original plans for DisneySea, but it's all Antarctic wildlife (Oceana deserves more love)

AUSTRALIA

• Rename the area to "the Outback"

Black bears are native to Florida, so they survive fine down in that weather. However, I'd hesitate to do grizzlies or (especially) polar bears in any sort of neotropical climate. I know SeaWorld had polar bears not too long ago, but you'd need a massive indoor complex and I honestly didn't think their setup was very good for polar bears. They can't be outside because they overheat insanely easily and can and will die from it. Grizzlies are in a similar boat, so I'd hesitate to add them.

There are brown bear subspecies that could survive, like the Syrian Brown Bear, but most north American bear species (besides black bears) wouldn't thrive in Florida. That being said, I've never heard of this balding thing in bears in Florida. Could have been a disease spreading, but I'll have to do more research into it.

Also, I know this post is 14 years old and all, but someone revived it, so I'm going to comment. Muskox would NEVER survive in Florida. They are so incredibly heat-intolerant and would need an indoor building the size of the Pandora to not be stressed to death with constant air conditioning. I don't mean to be rude or look down on anyone, but I did laugh out loud at that one haha

Just going to post this video this may be san Diego but i think they would probably would do the same thing as what this video says there is usually a way for animals to adapt to the climate there are in so the bears could in theory survive its just going to be expensive

Can it be done? Yes, but it’s really not the best for the animals’ welfare. A lot of zoos are phasing out polar bears in recent years, especially south of Canada. Places like Bronx Zoo, SeaWorld, Central Park Zoo, and Roger Williams Park Zoo have all removed polar bears from their collection just due to the animals not thriving in warmer climate.

Of course this project is blue Sky, so it’s whatever, but realistically, most zoos would frown on a polar bear in Florida, especially where it’s both hot and humid, two things they don’t thrive in. Polar bears, muskox, and reindeer are all super heat sensitive and shouldn’t be kept in places that they can’t tolerate same as animals like giraffes that can’t handle the cold well shouldn’t be in cold-weather facilities.
