But AK could use a ride similar to this, I just don't see a Clone fitting in AK's theme in any way.

I'd like to see this kind of ride in Imagination, but with different characters and setting of course.

And I would LOVE for the "adventurer" theme found in Tower of Terror (DisneySea) and Mystic Manor to find it's way to Animal Kingdom. Maybe a wealthy European who is part of the club bought land in Africa, only to find out that it's cursed. Or a whole new land could be constructed based around the attraction, sort of like how Mystic Point is to Mystic Manor.
where do I sign for that

What year was this built? Just curious! It's so cool!
Love the "trackless" idea! WDW needs something like this!

Well for one the monkey is a pretty big involvement, and this has the mythical element AK could use, though I can see Adventureland being a better fit.

That ride truly impressed me. Congrats whoever created this ride, you made a completely original charming and elaborate attraction that wasn't based on pre-existing properties! Now if we could only get rides like this at WDW...
I wouldn't say no to this in Adventureland or Animal Kingdom at all if given the chance to have it.

Mystic Manor? It just now opened if i'm not mistaken. In fact I hadn't even realized it was supposed to open this soon, thought it was sometime in June or later.What year was this built? Just curious! It's so cool!

Mystic Manor's physical footprint is smaller than you might expect. Smaller than HM's (which in turn is smaller than Dinosaur's). Not much bigger than Mermaid's footprint...

I believe it got moved up a couple months back. Disney and More lists the grand opening as May 17.

I see this video and think to myself if this dark ride is so amazing why couldn't have mermaid been on the same scale? And I agree with many of the posters on here I think it could fit in great in AK or better yet in adventureland and that monkey is too adorable, I could see him being a merchandise must have. Besides with a ride scored by the wonderful Danny elfman its no shock at the level of quality here.

There's the million dollar question. Obviously Disney is capable of producing original, amazing dark rides in these past years (Mystic Manor, Radiator Springs Racers), but they chose to copy Disney California Adventure's D-Ticket dark ride. It makes more sense at DCA, where the park was dying. It helped to breathe life into the park and was a major player in re-shaping the image of Paradise Pier. I feel like they could have done so much more here in WDW.
Of course, Seven Dwarves Mine Train is on the horizon, and I do have faith that it will be a solid ride, but then again, I don't think it will be the next Mystic Manor or RSR.

the quality of the animatronics here are simply amazing the monkey is so full of emotion and character as are the suits of armor.

If you have WDI's "Making More Magic Real" book, you can find concept art for this type of "LPS", free-roaming version of a LM darkride... so something like it was considered for the MK at one point.

That would be so cool if Little Mermaid used LPS, advanced audio-animatronics and groundbreaking special effects like featured on Mystic Manor...

I see this fitting Adventureland better then Animal Kingdom, unless if you really emphasized mythological creatures in Henry Mystic's collection for an imported version.
The trick with Adventureland though is space and how to get guests to the expansion pad they had set aside for Fire Mountain as well as making it blend. Would probably have to re-route Jungle Cruise like what happened with Disneyland's when they put Indiana Jones in. If you could get Mystic Manor and a small Aladdin area into that expansion pad so that they could relocate the carpets there, that'd fix some of Adventureland's issues.

If Mystic Manor got cloned and Fire Mountain got brought back from the dead, Adventureland could easily become my favorite land.
