News Disney KiteTails coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom October 1

oh, I agree ... I mean, more from the positive side, like if you had to pick the best, most positive thing from the 50th what would it be?

I think it is the lights on SSE

Probably, but they weren't really 50th specific - just happened to time that way.

 

[StarshipDisney]

No loss here...

 

[raymusiccity]

Same, does anyone know if they plan to replace it with anything in the near future?

Sadly, the 'near future' to Disney is seversl years from now!

 

[Basil of Baker Street]

considering everything has failed here... is it possible to fill in this area and actually build an attraction?

That's exactly where I am as well. Fill it in and build something worthwhile in it's place.

At this point. Why not honestly? How feasible it is my guess is the question…

I wish Disney would shift their fiscal year to match the calendar. Having all these cuts take place just before the holidays each year makes no sense.

I mean I'd prefer them not cut stuff, but at least if they cut for January it would make more sense.

Many, many companies do not have fiscal years matching the end of the calendar year. With holidays arriving, people taking off, sales staff trying to make their numbers, it is a major pain to have a fiscal year close at the end of the actual year. Disney's fiscal year actually makes sense. There's no quarter close or year close during the holidays.

Yeah ours is July 1st.

If we're just spit balling and wish casting. My absolute #1 would be a Kali expansion, Then fill the rest in with high capacity attraction. I personally don't care if its a good C attraction like an omnimover.

@wdwmagic ,You can change the thread title. At least they got a full year out of it:

Disney KiteTails leaving Disney's Animal Kingdom September 30​

Kali should have been expanded years ago honestly i dk how it was ever greenlit in its current state i know $$$ but that rapid ride is not that good and way too short…

Yeah, and that's fine. It's that they always cut tons of stuff 9/30 and it's just not a good time to cut in the theme park business.

Or I guess they could just stop cutting things instead of shifting their calendar

Giving vredit where it's due, axing KT and Harmonious is a good decision imo. Assuming worse shows dont take their place

 

[DisneyfanMA]

This show looks cool, worth catching?

 

[JustMary]

I assume the closing date of September 30, 2023 was a typo.

 

[CampbellzSoup]

You guys don’t think the world of color nighttime spectacular could work here?

 

[danlb_2000]

This was not the greatest show, but I hate to see anything taken away at this point.

 

[jaxonp]

That’s what they half tried to do with rivers of light. I wish they would have gone all in on a WOC concept instead of what they did.

And maybe the 10/1/2022 opening is also a typo.

I imagine that’s far more expensive. Photos of the WOC area show a gazillion pipes and things under the water.
