I don't think Fire Mountain is going to make it

[ToTBellHop]

Beastly Kingdom would create the opportunity for a great sit-down restaurant and perhaps even a dinner show (like Medieval Times, only better). I don't know the feasability of an indoor nighttime show--even a tented in area with walls behind the guests's seats could prevent some of the sound from spreading, and it would make it so they could do the show if it were rainy. Depends on how much they are willing to spend on this land. I could see a nighttime show, two sit-down restaurants (with one being the dinner show), a counter-service restaurant, a gift shop for the land and for Reign of Fire, Reign of Fire itself, a family-based Omnimover Tour of the castle (involving dragons, of course--it'd be like Superstar Limo, only good), a carousel with all different animals, and a daytime-show, "Modern Dragons", which would involve reptiles. My imaginary nighttime show would involve Merlin and, of course, dragons. Perhaps that's a little too much like Fantasmic!...Maybe it'd have Merlin as an opening narrator, and the show would involve a brand-new story involving animals--not a prior disney movie, but just as good as the Lion King. It'd, of course, have pyro during the big fight scene between the protagonist and a new disney villain.

I wouldn't mind a Naboomboo Boat Ride...

AK Lodge helped the park a lot, since people are closer to AK and they are able to stay longer in the park because they can always go "home" quick.
But the problem with AK is that many people aren't interested in many of the attractions, or they overlook them just to see the main ones. It's true, it's easier to love a lovely park as MK , but a complex one as AK takes time and patience and also you need to feel attracted to the rides, if not it's boring for many people just to "watch" animals.
Disney needs to mix their usual magic with the actual park to complete a perfect mixture of a park that includes attractions for the "animal" lovers and the ones that just wants to have fun with thematic related rides as KAHLI RIVER RAPIDS.

PLEASE PEOPLE TELL ME HOW TO INSERT AN IMAGE TO MY INFO.

I found Kali short and not living up to its hype all though it is themed very well there is nothing before the drop and there is nothing after it.

There is so much stuff they can do in Camp Minnie Mickey but instead there is the famous Character greetings and the fantastic Lion King show. I don't think Pochantas should count as an attraction.

The Reign of Fire movie comes out this summer so we will see if Beastly Kingdom is built.

Beastly Kingdom WILL be built in some way, shape, or form. They have left that dragon head on the entrance sign far too long to turn back now. The theme will probably change sometime in the future, but it will be built. It's the reason people were originally psyched about animal kingdom..."oh! There'll be dragons?! KEWL!" All we have is a wooden carving...only a matter of time. I actually hope they don't connect it with the movie. This is not a movie park. Thats a few miles down the road.

Kali River Rapids is too predictable, to quick and empty. It needs some animatronics and maybe a stronger theme, like Popeye's ride in IoA, it seems there is more thamatic in the line than in the ride itself. And Kilimanjaro is somehow too redundant and long for a "must-ride", people who doesn't enjoy sightseeing and animals will not come back, I assure you. Besides, you need to be lucky to see all the animals. The many times I went, I saw only once Lions...
Anyway, I like these rides, they have their PROS and CONS, I would change some things as I said...but it's ok...I'll come back.

Just remember that Kali originally had tigers in the ride....

 

[ToTBellHop]

which would have been amazing...as for Kilimanjaro Safaris, you can't MAKE animals stay on exhibit. That'd be extremely inhumane. You just have to follow the animals' schedules. If you ride at park opening, you will see a LOT of animals. I don't honestly see the predictability in it, either. I mean, it just as predictable as any other disney ride where you do the same thing every time, except for the fact that 3/4 of the ride involves animals which are anything but predictable. Everyone expects the poachers, like everyone expects the drops on the Tower of Terror, the 5-story plunge on Splash Mountain, the 65 mph run on Test Track, etc. I see long lines for this attraction...and I certainly don't buy anyone saying attendance is low in the park. Considering it has like 10 attractions as opposed to 50 or so at Magic Kingdom, I think its attendance being half that of Magic Kingdom is QUITE reasonable. You have Cedar Point with "over 100 attractions" and MUCH fewer park guests...I've seen FAR TOO MANY complaints about this park. That's why Discovery River Boats closed...sheesh. When you're in the park, complaining, stop for a second, look all around you. It's an amazing park. (except for that Tarzan/Dinorama area which frightens me...). I think it's the most scenic of any disney park...who doesn't feel like they are in Africa on Kilimanjaro Safaris? I know I do..

Yeah, it is a great ride, but that would have made it really cool.
