Rumor Lion King Flume Ride being considered for Animal Kingdom

[Starship824]

Plus, it'd be weird to have a Lion King ride in the Asia section instead of the Africa section.

Exactly. Also, I noticed that when you quoted my post that it a major grammatical error, so the wording did not make any sense. I have fixed it.

Does the back of house permits that was filed in AK for the suspected Dinoland/Tropical America transition allow them to get back stage behind FotLK?

Doesn't really matter, the offices there could serve projects anywhere in the park.

Kali is great...

Great is a stretch. More like good

I personally find most raft rides to be rather weak with the exception of Disney’s and Universal’s. I just happen to prefer Grizzly River Run to Kali.

I enjoy Bilge-Rat Barges, but it is so drenching that I’ve only ridden it 2 or 3 times in my life.

I wouldn’t say great….
It’s too dang short!

left it open ended. Great at what?

Same. Most of them are just "it is what it is" for me. That said I think Kali is just too abrupt and short in comparison to the other ones.

Also it feels nowhere near even with wetness. Most of them everyone gets off at about the same level. While Kali will absolutely drench two people, six people will be a bit wet, and the rest will be basically dry

Making popeye and bluto look superior

Every time I’ve ridden in recent years, some water features have been broken or shut off (on purpose?). And I swear the wave on the drop used to be bigger but that could be my mind playing tricks on me.

I got a similar feeling last time I rode splash mountain. I swear you used to get soaked in that ride and I bealry got wet at all during my last ride.

It has been at least 5 years sense I rode it so that's entirely possible

Maybe we are just getting old. “Back in my day…”

“Back in my day Mickey hats and gloves used to be shoved into park icons, and bears used to sing about beating children”

Man imagine telling our future children about the Disney parks fandom, and how crazy we will all sound? I can picture it now…..
“…and then everyone pretends they always liked maelstrom! But that’s nothing compared to the time where we all got genuinely angry at eatchother over a rabbit themed log flume!”

Kali has beautiful theming/views, gets you soaked, and has a well-themed queue. It may be too short, but it's longer, more soaking, and more themed than most others with that ride system

I'm of the mindset that a river rapids ride should always get you 100% soaked... it should lure you into a false sense of security by starting with several features that only get a limited number of people wet, but ultimately end in a gauntlet of water features that get EVERYONE wet... if I get off a river rapids ride and I can find a dry spot on my clothes, I am disappointed. Kali has disappointed me many times... Popeye's has never disappointed...

I just don’t like having wet underwear, but I know that’s a me issue.

In any event, I don’t believe The Lion King will be a soaker.

I love the audio for the queue for some reason. The river raft expedition lines.. it’s one of those things that immediately recreates the place for you

What is everyone's percentage chance this is announced or teased at D23?

I'm putting this at 60% myself.
