I first need to them add more animals in Africa like camels, tropical birds, leopards. Asia can have the pandas,(move the elephants to Asia ), maybe build a second safari.
Asian and African Elephants are actually different species. You can't simply move those in Kilimanjaro Safaris to Asia, as they'd be the wrong elephants. Actually there is debate now in the scientific field about whether there are two separate species of African Elephants, the African Forest Elephant, and the African Bush Elephant.
That being said I'd love to see more animals in Animal Kingdom, everything from Pandas, Koalas, Aye-Ayes, Water Buffalo, etc. Also there is not a single zoo in the United States that has either a platypus or a Tasmanian Devil. Those would be cool. The Tasmanian devil is actually very much in danger of extinction due to a facial cancer it gets, the tumor becoming so large on it's face it can't survive. Disney's Conservation Funds could be used to help this iconic and unfortunate animal continue to live in the world.
Also, an odd little factoid about Animal Kingdom, there are zero bears in Animal Kingdom. None, unless you count Baloo or the Brother Bear characters. Not a single exhibit for Grizzly, Polar, Sun, Sloth, Andean, North American Black, Kodiak, or Panda.
Sky trams...yes please!There are enough animals in Asia to create an attraction in Asia in the area North of Kali River Rapids that would house animals in the same way as Kilimanjaro Safaris. However, I don't think Asian animals really lend themselves to a truck tour like the African animals. I would think a walk through or sky tram would be a better approach.
The fascination with Pandas is that they are just beautiful animals. I'd compare it to Tigers. They don't do much besides lay around all day but they are just very attractive animals to look at. I mean, all animals are pretty boring. Your just always hoping that your around at that moment when the gorilla finally jumps the fence!:ROFLOL:
For me, the basic problem with AK is that I don't understand why I'm supposed to get so excited about it. All it is to me is a lavishly appointed zoo. Period. And the thing is, there are MANY beautiful zoos in America. If what I wanted to see on vacation were captive wild animals, I could go to the Bronx or St. Louis or San Diego zoos, among others. But when I go to WDW, I want to see things I can't see anywhere else. So AK leaves me cold. It's kind of pretty and atmospheric, but that's it. When I visit the World in December, I have no plans to visit AK. And I probably will never visit it again, unless of course the yeti gets fixed (like that'll ever happen).

Pandas would excite me more than Avatar, and would probably get me in the park before I consider going for Avatar.
I think certain animals have always been on the wish list since day one. Panda's are definitely in that list.
you're right, because you can see Festival of the Lion King, Dinosaur, Everest, Finding Nemo, Tough to be a bug, and more ... Everywhere else..
