Lil Red lives on...

[The Duck]

When it was first announced that Little Red was leaving, I posted that he could possibly move to Jungle Cruise. Lee said that he wasn't but I'm still hoping that he could be added there one day.

I was thinking the same thing, either Jungle Cruise or the Kilimanjaro Safaris queue.

Cool!
Judging from the gravel they laid down it looks like they don't intend on scrapping this prop any time soon.

Is this viewable from Conservation stn train?

Nope, the cast services building, Pride Rock, etc are far from the view of guests. It's back a distance from the Africa cast entrance/exit (Where Mickey's Jammin Jungle Parade starts).

I must have missed it somewhere. What replaced him on the Safari?

Dirt.

Gotcha - thought maybe OP was referring to the Lions location in KS.

Nope, this is in a cast-viewable area only. Far from the ride or guests view.

The management at DAK just tend to be more strict with cast. In the past few years there has been a huge crackdown on cast photography backstage, even on stage in some instances.

But overall backstage photography is a huge no no in all the parks and its not a secret to the cast.

Edit to add- I think the management should be a bit strict with cast and I think that DAK does it the right way. They are also the park that holds the most cast appreciation events.

Ok, that makes sense. I didn't realize it was more strict in one park compared to others.

Now I'm wondering what else has gone missing from the parks that is backstage for the cast members to see and not us.

While the response of "dirt" was technically correct, that's where the new zebra habitat was added. (Though the zebra have since moved out and are being replaced with another animal, though which one escapes me at the moment)

I'm still really sad that he's not in the ride anymore.
Little Red was my favorite part of the ride. It just isn't the same without him.

This is where Lil Red lives now.

That CM is gonna get fired unless their account is thoroughly anonymous. Backstage at DAK is one of the big no-no areas for photography.

I've seen an uptick in CMs posting backstage pics cavalierly on social media lately, I know this is the policy; however, no one seems to be enforcing it...

Yes, it may be backstage, but it's something that riders know well and not really showing anything that ruins any magic, at least not for me. I hope no one gets in trouble.

A link, yes? Or drop me a PM with one? I'd love to see more!

Poor little red! He wants to be visible!

 

[wdwfan22]

I can't believe they are paying to run an animatronic in a backstage area for employees. How stupid is management? They continue to cut and neglect things that the paying guests see but are spending money now on an animatronic that only an employee is going to see

 

[Can we go yet?]

Am I the only one who still wants to see the Big Red body that the trucks originally encountered in Kilimanjaro Safari? Anyways, I agree, Little Red should move to Jungle Cruise. :3
