Dueling Dragons and Beastly Kingdom: A Connection? (Dreamfinder Campaign update too!)

Oh, ok. Thats good to hear.
P.S. Sorry about making a thread drift. :wave:

Actually thats not a thread drift, because this is also the campaign update that I put up for the first time in weeks.


Anyways, I never knew that about the cave. Personally, I find Animal Kingdom dull and lik-a-zoo! I was there on opening day of it (along with the grand opening of the first Mcdonald's on Disney Property at Disney Marketplace). It was not that great. I went again three years later and walked out of the park after 5 hours. Not that great, I prefer Epcot and Magic Kingdom over Studios and Kingdom. But I think that I might visit it more with the new coming of Everest. That is if I find it as intense as I like it to be, no less only more!

The dragon in the AK logo is not actually that mysterious. It's been covered in many discussions on the board here, but I'll give you the answer that was given previously. Back when AK first opened, they had the boats that went down the river from one side of the park to the other, much the way that the WDW Railroad goes from Main Street USA to Frontierland to Mickey's Toontown Fair and back to Main Street. Nobody seemed to be able to figure out that this was not a ride, but a more relaxing way to get across the park so they would spend hours in line waiting for a one way slow boat across the park and Disney got a ton of guest complaints because of it. Along the shore on one side, just under one of the bridges, was a cave. In that cave lives the dragon and you could see his fire breath come out of the cave as you passed by. Because of the way that the cave was situated, it cannot be seen from the existing paths in the park and so the dragon is effectively lost to guests at this time, but remains a part of the logo because Disney saw no need to alter it. It's still a nice logo. Hope that helps.

Actually, there was 2 references to BK, one was the above mentioned Dragon's Cave. The other one was a white unicorn statue in the river on the other side of the Oasis bridge before you got to the Dragon's Cave.

They also still have the dragon looking waterfall at the entrance to camp minnie-mickey.

There was also the head of a dragon on the main gate in the carvings.
