Rumor Lion King Flume Ride being considered for Animal Kingdom

[Big Thunderin’ mountain]

What’s the bet for the final drop

My money’s on hakunah matata or be prepared

With our luck it will be a joyful non-dangerous drop into Simba’s party lol

Probably an original song about finding the perfect grub for Simba’s birthday party. Scar and the Hyenas aren’t in the ride (they’re problematic these days)

DLP isn't afraid of tension or scary elements in their attractions. And I'm so glad!

I mean... in "Can You Feel the Love Tonight"... they literally go rolling down a hill, splash in the water, and get all wet (and I mean that it a complete non-sexual/double entendre way...)

Just walked from Expedition Everest, to the Safari, and then the back way into Pandora. Still trying to figure out where this ride would go.

On the path next to the FOTLK theater, I guess more or less across from the bathrooms there.

Asante Sana Squash Banana.

Asante Sana Squash Banana.

It should start out super faint so riders can psych themselves out thinking they imagined it. As they ascend it gets louder and louder until at the top it’s extremely loud and impossible to ignore.

If this even comes to pass, I'm curious as to whether it is a Splash level flume and drop. I think DAK will be better served by a more sedate boat ride and have any drops be more on the level of FAE or POTC (i.e. not really restrictive).

I similarly do not expect drops that would force a height requirement for either of DAK’s potentially forthcoming boat rides.

Am I the only one thinking that it would be strange having a ride and show next to each other with the same songs/story? At least in Paris the show and the ride will be in different parks.

Doesn’t seem that odd to me… lessens the commute for Simba, Timon, and Pumba at the very least!

I figured the attraction's big lift hill would be based on the climax of the movie. But after Tiana's Bayou Adventure, who knows?

 

[MJL92]

"No more unoriginal IP attractions!"

*Disney creates a new original story based on IP*

"I can't believe they didn't include everything from the movie!"

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.

Sea World Orlando’s Infinity Falls, King’s Islands Whitewater Canyon (older and no drop but in the woods, wild and loaded with geysers at the end,) and (even though I haven’t been able to ride it yet) Silver Dollar City’s New Raft ride would like a word.

Baffling that the same people who insist Encanto and Indiana Jones are thematically unworkable want a Lion King book report with all the musical greatest hits.

 

[Brer Panther]

Again, what reason do we have to expect Disney to build Encanto and Indiana Jones attractions that fit in Animal Kingdom? They know what guests want out of an Encanto ride, and it's not information about animals, it's Mirabel and "WE DON'T TALK ABOUT BRUNO NO NO NO".

TLK is about animals being animals for the most part. Except the time they dress in drag.
