I posted this information in the BK thread but I believe it warrents its own thread.
I have received good information about the next expansion to Animal Kingdom. The expansion is going to be Australia! It will have an animal exhibit similar to the other countries. It will also have an E-Ticket attraction. The attraction will use technology from the Soarin' over California attraction in DCA.
For those not familiar with that atttraction, here is the scoop. It will be a simulator type attraction. It will use a curved IMAX screen for the movie. You are suspended in chairs that move in sync with the movie. The result is a very convincing sensation of flight.
From what I understand, this expansion just got the green light! Expect an announcement soon. The bad news is that the BK expansion project is dead again. Oh well.. at least AK is getting something new.
