I say all signs point to yes. 1st they took the dragon off the AK logo...now we have everest comming to Asia...which sounds a lot like the old dragon coaster once planned for BK. In my humble opinion I think they should concentrate on the real animal world before dipping into the imagniary. Maybe work on other additions such as Australia, South America, and even North America. Perhaps the idea could become a new Mythology Pavillion at Epcot...given their new focus on discovery as opposed to the future.

Is The Beastly Kingdom concept dead?

I agree with your comment that it would be better to focus on actual animals rather than mythical ones. I would like to see an Australia section. If Brother Bear is a solid success perhaps a North America section devoted to bears. "Beastly Kingdon" never really excited me, it was the idea of AK expansion that was exciting not that particular theme.

I still agree with snapper that it would be best if Ak continue to exspand it's real animals before continuing with the imaginary...like snapper I also would like to see an Australia area come to life 1st

I also think that it has been the intention of imagineer's to eventually bring this land to AK...even if they have something similar at IOA. I have a feeling that the new Beastly Kingdom may be a bit different to the original concept...in fact it may even be in a different location all together in AK....but then again this is pure speculation. I hope the idea is not dead...Disney could do a lot with the concept.

The beastly Kindom your talking about is the Animal Kindom Expantion right? or the actual park? I was wondering becuase you guys said that might be the next thing after EE, But I was wondering how the Disney Inc. Worked...
Would they do 2 mayor construction sites at a time? Cuz I know they are building a park in honk Kong, while here in florida they are doing all this rehabs.
After EE, you guys think they would go on into another mayor construction??
I asked this becuase things are being shaken down here in the Island by Disney. Disney is adding San Juan Puerto Rico as a port of call on agust 2004 in their Disney Cruise, and apperantly they have their eyes on what is (but not for long) a Military Naval Base( is going to be closed down) Equiped with Ports and 2 airstrips. Rumor has it they would want it for a "home port" of the Disney Cruise, Together with a mini city type Resort- Disney Village thing. To make it short something like a "Disney Cancun" Now this all depends on the goverment of PR, if the US naval base decides to leave or not, But if it does go, and DIsney aquieres the land it would happend probably after 2006.
If Beastly Kindom is really the next thing after EE, Do you think this situation developing down here, would effect in anyway plans for mayor expantions in the Current parks in florida?
re there separated companies?

Actually I just read an interesting article on JimHillmedia.com regarding the Beastly Kingdom...

We'll just have to wait and see what happens.

Having construction going on in other places will not effect what is built in WDW.
Especially a situation like HK, where Disney is only kicking in about $350 million and the govt. is paying the rest. It's a similar deal to Tokyo.
It is probably best to just forget Beastly Kingdom for now. There is a ton of stuff more likely to happen in the next 5 years or so.
What many people forget, is that Beastly is part of the "20 year plan" for AK, and it may take that long to see it.

You can't mention Beastly Kingdom without saying something about this article- great article, huh?
I love Jim's stories... He always seems to know whats going on...
From what he's said, though, it seems that even if BK does come around, it won't be as Imagineers planned it. Why for?
)) Well, because Universal supposively "stole" the concepts, and Disney would look like it was copying them... Also, Michael probably won't be willing to dish out the cash needed...

I don't think a Cast member would know. Wait until a press release or Grizz says so.
