I was recently surfing the net through some random disney pages and learned of treasure/discovery island. I cant remember for the life of me if I had been there as a kid or not. I asked my parents and they were not sure either. Anyway my gf and I really enjoy going to zoos. We travel a lot and make it a point to visit our destinations local zoo or aquarium if time allows. Anyway Ive been to about 30 zoos all over and I just enjoy them. And from further research I found that discovery island was actually accredited by the association of zoos and aquariums (AZA). I realize the park sort of lost its significance once animal kingdom opened. But I like a lot of folks really miss these rides/attractions that are no longer around. Mr toads wild ride, river country, 20k leagues, food rocks, world of motion, and of course horizons which practically has a cult following. Its sort of a humans nature to love what you cant have I suppose. But nevertheless I had never heard of this place, it seems kind of mysterious and I wanted to learn more about it. Im really curious if the island is in fact still there, and what do they plan to do with it, or is something new already in the works? I have found very limited pictures and a couple brief videos on youtube, I was wondering if anyone else had anything they wouldnt mind sharing.
