.. why bother being worked up over getting the info just a few days early, which could still change at the last minute?)

Welcome to the forums. You must be new round here.

I heard that Woody's Land was so successful, but they've run out of room in MGM, that they're going to put another Toy Story Land in the zoo park. Speaking of zoos, has anyone mentioned Zootopia yet?

Zootopia: isn't that a movie about animals. If so, it definitely fits the Animal Kingdom theme.

FTFY

Seriously, I just want to rip out my thinning hair every time someone mentioned ******** in the forums.

Reported for trying to circumvent the "prohibited words" list...

Only if any of this was leaked by a WDW bus driver will I then know it's true

jt03 was banned for talking about changes to krr. It is a sensitive subject apparently.

 

[jt04]

Is that true? I swear that there are several more missing/abandoned effects than just the fire. The entire deforestation scene is nearly void of any effects at this point, and you can barely even hear the chainsaws in the queue anymore.

This is a feature and not a bug.

That's exactly what I thought, but since it had been several years between rides I thought maybe I just made it up.

Disney needs to focus on scrapping Chester and Hester’s area when it comes to AK. They could literally transform that whole section into a prehistoric world of dinosaurs- think a civilization where people live alongside dinos. Something similar to Pandora. They could even keep Dinosaur but scrap the references to the movie and restore it to CTX.

I think Martin was a great resource last time this subject came up. Any input on what effects have been lost over time on Kali, @marni1971 ?

what kind of changes? Couldn't hurt.

Penguin...Shernernum...HauntedPirate...you guys are cracking me up! Classic banter. Well played!

BTW, the strategic silence on this matter by a certain contributor of knowledge is deafening.

Indeed it is.

Top of my head mainly the fire and fireball effects and associated sounds. I’ll have to dig to see what else. The lift misting was MIA for a while too.

It’s not something I tend to ride every trip.

 

[EPCOTCenterLover]

Me neither.

What's the guest satisfaction over/under on this thing? I'm not a big fan of rapid rides but this one is by far one of the worst, IMO. Not that my opinion has any bearing on overall guest satisfaction but I'm certainly one of those guests that don't find it all that satisfying; especially compared to a superior version at DCA and far superior version at Uni.

If memory serves I think I remember reading a quote where Disney even admitted that Kali is fairly tame. (Although I can't find the exact quote) Who wants a tame rapids ride? Should be called "Kali River Tepids"

Would thy be able to simulate a desert in a place that gets daily thunderstorms?

They could certainly simulate the outback. It would take a lot of rockwork and sand, and there would of course be some vegetation.

Now I prefer an American land almost antithetical to Tomorrowland with instead of western towns, Native villages (that way maybe we can have some prehistoric megafauna) but if we did have Australia; they'd have to incorporate sea life. The problem with that being they already have the seas, and I don't honestly see them movinv it or creating something similar from scratch. But I would love to be proven wrong

After doing the Jungle Cruise in Tokyo, I wanted Kali Rapids to include a temple segment just like JC there. With the projection effects. That would really elevate the ride to new heights!

Kali is an underwhelming ride for sure. We need something more compelling on the ride - scenes, and a longer duration, with possibly more thrills.

More opportunities to get wet, too.

It really is disappointing since it's one of the most beautiful rides on property. The ride would be greatly improved if they brought back the effects and added a few more features in the logging scene. Right now the whole area feels empty and lifeless.
