besides Beastly Kingdom already exists, you just have to travel to the other side of Orlando to visit it.
I guess some incarnation is better than none. Albeit I think it would have been loads better at AK if Disney was more open on budgeting and didn't lay off some people. :shrug:
Whatever the case is, it's there. It may be down the interstate in Orlando, but it's there.

There are plenty of differences between what you are referring to and what was supposed to have been. You can't really call one out as the other...
Believe me, none of this would work unless `quiet` fireworks DLP or HKDL style were used.
Even then the noise would still get through.

You are incorrect about fireworks. I imagine any would be a bad idea in any part of the park. General crowd noise is OK even at night but booming fireworks is different.

I am not "incorrect". If they wanted to have a fireworks show, they could by using appropriate technology. Not all types of fireworks are inherently all that noisy - it depends on the type of launch method used, size of the shells, height of explosion, compounds used, etc. Air-launched shells, for instance, are much quieter than traditional ones.
The fact is that they don't want a regular fireworks display there, and probably for a very good reason that has more to do with ROI than concerns about animal welfare. In any case, I think we'll both agree that as the park matures and develops the need for daily large-scale post-dusk entertainment, there are probably more suitable means to do that than yet another fireworks display.

What are you talking about?

The Lost Continent in Island of Adventure, but Jedi is right, you can't judge what would have been and what is, they are two completely different concepts, albeit under the same theme.

well see what I think is funny is if the rumors are true then the lost cont. at universal will be no more soon and it will be harry potter island so then beastly kingdom could still happen and not be a theme copy.

What fireworks are there that doesn't come with the "boom"? Besides, the explosive nature/sound of fireworks is what attracts people to them. Quiet fireworks just isn't the same.

I know it isn't going to happen now, but think of the possibilities for night shows if they would've made a Beastly Kingdom. 'Battle of the Dragons on the Bay' with dragons 'flying' above a bay as they shoot fire at one another...
Okay, maybe the possibilities aren't endless, since they all involve fire breathing dragons, but I think a cool show would've been possible without making a lot of noise.

Any fireworks show would have to be diluted down to the point where it would simply stink. Come up with a better show, or even a new concept for a night show....WDI should innovate something that is silent with some background music that they can pipe through the speakers all around the common areas.

I don't think he meant they are completely noise free but there are ways to tone down the noise.
I agree about the bangs though, I love the ones that shake the ground, however I doubt the animals would.

Oh no, not again. Did I miss some kind of fine print when I joined WDWMagic that states that EVERY...SINGLE... THREAD must contain at least one WAND BASHING?
Oh..and for the record...I think the tree of life would look TOTALLY AWESOME with a WAND and a BIG SORCERER'S HAT on top!
i cmatt respect the wand :king:...
... just everynow and then i like to use the word WAND

What Beastly Kingdom was and what the Lost Continent became are still two very seperate lands. There theming isn't similar other than the concept of using mythical creatures in two of its attractions. If Beastly Kingdom were to ever resurface, it could exist without being directly related or compared to the Lost Continent. Remember, the only similarities are the use of a dragon coaster and the use of a unicorn for an attraction. Nothing more... Nothing less... Beastly Kingdom would have had so much more...

Exactly. My parents used to live near a fairground that had several large fireworks displays each year until some judge ordered them to stop because of noise concerns. The redesigned show that they did after sorting things out with the neighbors was much quieter (more "pops" and "thuds" instead of ground-shaking "booms"), but no less spectacular (or so I was told anyway).
Go see a regular show at DLP!
You`re right - the noise is part of the show.

I could actually do without the noise fireworks create. I'd much rather listen to the music.
