Has anyone else noticed the dragon in the Animal Kingdom Sign?

[Rabflmom]

Are there some changes/additions coming to AK?

I noticed a whole section of trees that are gone when I was at
Disney last week , so thinking they are clearing a large area right now next to the existing park to add a new section.

I also heard that they have added electricity that must involve getting more power to the western part of property since it has caused a few power outages at BB this spring.

Do you think they might actually be going to add the Beastly section and incorporate the dragons ? Not sure what I would think of adding the mythical to the real park. I love AK because it is real animals, but then I guess Dino land is already there so not all live animals<g>.

Yep!

There is also a cave along the river with a fire breathing dragon inside...used to periodically belch smoke and fire (with some burnt knights at the entrance) while on the thrilling Discovery River Boat ride .

Yeah, it`s been noticed since 1998. Try a thread search for details of the fire breathing dragin and other tid bits.

Also look closely at some of the park lampshades on the footpaths

That wasn't meant to be a ride, but transportation. But since everyone thought it was a ride and complained about it, they shut it down.

Does anyone know the story behind why "Wild" was dropped from the name of the park?



Edit: Found my own answer, copywrite issues.

Sure thing!

Come to think of it...you've been on Tower, Coaster, and Everest right? Mission Space? Countdown? Any of these rides ringing a bell?

(No pressure- I used to avoid rides like that too...:lookaroun )
