Rumors
Rumors are not always true, but it seems many are based in fact. Have you heard anything about the park?
If you have heard something here, or can confirm or dispute one that you have heard or seen the please let us know. Post it here and share with the rest of us.

I think the new clearing may be for Beastly Kingdom. I'm only guessing this because of the success of The Festival of the Lion King found in Camp Minnie-Mickey. Plus, with the success of Expedition Everest, it would only make sense that the Imagineers would get the go-ahead to build more attractions themed towards fantasy and adventure.

     Negative. That was a staging area for the construction of Everest. It's been used as an area to park large equipment for quite a while now. The real interesting rumor our there right now is about "JungleTrek" or the former "Night Kingdom". That park's supposed foot print has been greatly scaled down to the point where it could be a park within a park... so maybe that's one thing that could go there. Also, the Australia concept has been batted around for a while now (but would they really do that that right after adding Nemo to Dinoland?).

If you go to Google maps and look at Animal Kingdom, there is land cleared between Everest and the Safari rides. What could this be????

     According to Jim Hill, the Jungle Trek park may now be dead due to the economy.

I heard somewhere that Imagineers are working on a 5th gate to Walt Disney World which is said to be Disney's America.

     They are always dreaming up new park ideas at WDI. That does not mean there is a 5th park coming to Walt Disney World. They are focusing, right now, on the new 500 acre shopping, dining, and entertainment expansion.

More of a question and rumor...Has anyone hear when Lucky will reappear?

     Reported by: getme2WDW on: 4/17/2007

     Right now Lucky is in Hong Kong. The Muppet Mobile Lab is at California Adventure. There are currently no plans on the boards to bring Lucky back to Orlando. However, stay tuned to see.

I heard that the riginal pla 4 the park was to have a beastly kingdom, but the park was so expensive(1 billion) so they had 2 get rid of it. But are they buildng it now, and if so when, and whats going to be in it.

     Disney is waiting for the green-light so they can go ahead & start working on the project. And what I saw from concept art was a Unicorn entounter & a Jungle Cruise featuring dragons.

Now this sounds wierd but I heard a while back that ak are getting another rollercoaster and the themeing is king kong, i don't belive it has anyone else heard of this, or are my sources just shit. lol

     Reported by: jayjayboy@hotmail.com on: 1/10/2007

     Sorry Jake, but King Kong is under the rights to Universal Studios. But Universal Studios is thinking of a new King Kong attraction, & as for Animal Kingdom well they could be thining of a Mighty Joe Young attraction but I really doubt it.
          Confirmed By: ChampDisney On: 1/13/2007

is it true ak will not be getting there next big attraction for the next eight years due to they want to planning of the fith park that may be built is this true.

     Reported by: jakehollier@hotmail.com on: 12/14/2006

     I believe not, many of us have heard of this fifth gate them park but I don't believe it will be coming that fast. You see Animal Kingdom & MGM Studios have alot on their table & alot they haven't aten yet. Just take Beastly Kingdom for example for Animal Kingdom that is still a rumor going around & I believe it someday it will take over Camp Minnie-Mickey & rumors did say that "2" E-tickets were to be put in Beastly Kingdom.
          Confirmed By: ChampDisney On: 12/28/2006

I heard that its either going to be MGM or AK getting an Indian Jones ride. And I think it goes well in the AK than MGM but its the Stunt Show that makes people want it in MGM. So is the rumor true?

     Reported by: ChampDisney on: 10/21/2006

     From what I understand, the land clearing back by Asia is not for the Jungle Trek park. This was supposed to go west of the Magic Kingdom as a separate "park". The DAK land clearing may be for a new version of Beastly Kingdom, but that would be several years away. I believe they may add something new at the Camp Mickey-Minnie site first.
