Here's a thought...
We should keep track of all the rumors and where they came from, and then when the big announcement is made, see who came closest!

you know me as al, but now im going to be frank. lol: )
Truth is, no one knows if this project is going to go ahead. (except a few disney insiders). I think it is great talking about it, and discussing what it could be like, but i think before we start making assumptions, we should wait until the press conference in april is over.
Right...........im al again!!!!
How much do you think something like fire mountain would cost? ...not that im planning on buying one!! :lol:

Whatever, I knew not to get my hopes high. It's not like I won't go to Animal Kingdom any way. It's a good park with excellent theming. There's no reason not to go, except for a lack of rides. Hopefully Disney addresses that soon. I learned my lesson after getting hyped EXACTLY 1 year ago for Beastly Kingdom.
Well, to be fair there are a lot of "greenlights" in the process. Just to go the distance of building a model of the ride requires a hefty amount of funding and a "greenlight" to proceed with. That greenlight was given.
However, I concur 100% with Rob and Corrus about the final greenlight on this ride (and the only one that really matters to the guests anyway) for construction has not and probably won't be given.
>>>Let us all hope that this mistake is not repeated again by Disney management.<<<
Forbidden Mountain coming in 2007 to Universal Studios Port Aventura. That has a slight ring to it....

Well just when I thought another project was given the go-ahead by Disney, it wasn't. Then they complain about attendence. :lol: . Universal seems to have the right idea. They like spending money when it's needed. Go ahead guys, I'm ready for the bashing. I'm all for Disney AND Universal, I go to both. I just feel that Universal may win the battle in the next year or two if Disney doesn't put anything else out.

Quick question (in light of trying to keep the hope that this attraction may be built ). We have some people saying that they have sources close to imagineering that this project is a go and others who say nothing is greenlighted. I am curious about those who know/say nothing is greenlighted.
Is it that you have heard from sources close to imagineering/corporate Burbank offices also, and they are SAYING that this isn't happening?
Or is it that you haven't HEARD anything from anyone (besides from this site) that it has been greenlighted? (In other words, it may be greenlighted, but you are simply in the dark about it)
I guess I will just continue to hope until April. If nothing happens, at least I've been warned

I like your optimism! :sohappy: I too would like to know if the people saying that this isn't a "go" know for a fact that it isn't, or if they just haven't heard anything and therefore ASSUME it isn't going to happen. Again, Steve could be of some help right about now.

Time to chime in....
I can agree that no official "greenlight" has been given to begin construction on this attraction.
However, my sources, the same ones who sent me the art and model photos, continue to say that things are looking "fairly strong" that it is going to happen. The sources in question are connected, to varying degrees, with WDI, and with TDA, where this is being talked about as a done deal, even way out there.
As I have said before, nothing is set in stone. But, VERY few projects build up this much steam, and get this far along, without a pretty firm commitment. Even less get this far, then die. Beastly Kingdom never got half this far off the boards.
Anyhoo, lets just cool our jets for a few weeks and see what shakes out.

Steve has talked about Forbidden Mountain, but it was way back in September when Pressler left.
26 September 2002: The DAK Eticket
It seems that after jumping between Asia and Beastly Kingdom, management have now settled on Asia as the new ride's location. The project now has an initial title of Forbidden Mountain. Opening date of September 2005 is being talked about, but management are keen to open sooner rather than later. The ride is to be located behind Kali Rapids, on the large area of land that is currently visible from the Flame Tree river-side area. Plans call for a new bridge to link to Asia from the Dinoland USA area. The ride system appears to have remained very similar to that described below in the Reign of Fire scenario. It is certainly a high speed ride (55mph), with action taking place both indoors and outdoors, and with the level of budget that is being setup for this, it should be spectacular. An official announcement is expected around the time of the park's 5th birthday in April 2003.
Remember as always, until officially confirmed, this info is subject to change.

I think something is coming, since there have been changes in the construction equipment that is backstage, and I have seen the blueprints for the shop and the photo pick up area for the ride exit. So somewhere on the ride, they plan on taking a pic!
