Rumor Lion King Flume Ride being considered for Animal Kingdom

[PizzaPlanet]

If we get another Pandora attraction it should be an indoor coaster. Maybe they could tie it into the release of Avatar 7

Is there actually any room to create even a walkway back to a Lion King area north of that backstage access bridge? Harambe House has a significant footprint in that area

The ride would actually go north of HH, adjacent to FOTLK. Savannah Circle would be pushed west to accommodate the new show building.

This isn’t in additional to a rumored Moana flume ride of some kind right? We don’t need more water rides.

What we actually need is a lot more C and D type attractions rather than all E’s

 

[JustInTime]

I’d rather they go with the Pandora expansion, personally.

Thanks for making this a separate discussion! This is really exciting if it comes to fruition.

When you say “flume ride”, does that mean like Mexico/Small world boat ride that goes in a circle, Pirates with some drops and thrills, or Splash/Tiana where it ends in a huge drop and even larger thrills (and riders get wet)?

Also, do we have any concept art for either Paris or what was proposed for AK in the past?

Moana in AL is on a much faster timetable.

From all indications, Moana and Lion King are different ride systems.

"Flume" is a bit generic here... in both cases.

So this would the new e ticket ride for the expansion plot

E might be pushing it

 

[Horizons '83]

E might be pushing it

So D'ish

 

[GhostHost1000]

would this remove the Swiss Family Treehouse?

 

[PREMiERdrum]

E might be pushing it

C/D if they go the bespoke route, D/E if they dupe Paris.

From what I can tell.

A dark ride/ water ride with nice scenery, music and AAs. Not everything needs to be an E ticket. Every park should have a balance of attractions. A D ticket dark ride of Lion King would be killer!

 

[HauntedPirate]

Please tell me Olivia Rodrigo will be covering the music for this attraction…

 

[FigmentJedi]

would this remove the Swiss Family Treehouse?

Moana would likely be a "We're finally using the Fire Mountain expansion plot" thing.

would this remove the Swiss Family Treehouse?

Wrong thread? This is in AK

 

[MisterPenguin]

D/E if they dupe Paris

And what are they doing in Paris?...

 

[999th Happy Haunt]

This is a really great idea, hope it comes to be

 

[PREMiERdrum]

And what are they doing in Paris?...

If I knew much else, I'd tell you.

Oh yeah my mistake. I get confused where they want to put IP now since the park themes no longer matter lol

 

[Andrew25]

Interested in seeing how they change/expand that corner of Africa as it's currently a bit of a bottleneck during FOLK shows.

Being the film's 30th anniversary this year would be a great time to announce it, if it gets the green go.
