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. Reported by: staples513 on: 5/25/2008 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?). Confirmed By: shanesny@nsatel.net On: 8/21/2008

I heard somewhere that Imagineers are working on a 5th gate to Walt Disney World which is said to be Disney's America. Reported by: on: 4/21/2007 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. Confirmed By: booeisner On: 4/23/2007

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. Confirmed By: booeisner On: 4/20/2007

What is this park doing for its tenth anniversary, next year. Reported by: D.I.S.N.E.Y...F.A.N on: 3/1/2007 No information has been giving out for the 10th birthday. Confirmed By: ChampDisney On: 3/3/2007

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. Reported by: jakehollier@hotmail.com on: 3/1/2007 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. Confirmed By: ChampDisney On: 3/3/2007

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. Confirmed By: Gentry On: 11/11/2008

Isn't there supposed to be a new ride coming to Camp Minnie-Mickey that has to do with time traveling and finding mythological creatures like the Wooly Mamoth? Reported by: Amros626 on: 10/9/2006 You mean Beastly Kingdom. Yes Beastly Kingdom was always probably on the list for Animal Kingdom to build & still is, but I never heard of a Mamoth being such part of Beastly Kingdom but what I did hear was that those magical creatures were Dragons & Unicorns. And what I also heard was that both of those creatures were supposed to get attractions like a Dragons rollercoaster type of ride. Confirmed By: ChampDisney On: 10/21/2006

is DAK geting a Monorail Reported by: Joshua on: 7/24/2006 No, not at this time. AK is too far from the current monorail to be extended. It would be extemely expensive. Confirmed By: booeisner On: 7/26/2006

I heard that the cast of high school musical was at the grand opening of expedition everest, and was so mad when I found out that they were the the day after they were there...I reallg wanted to see them! Do you know if they will be coming back soon at any disney park in disney world including animal kingdom? Reported by: callie on: 6/24/2006 I am afraid if they are it will be at a grand opening of an attraction or movie premiere. Usually those are closed to guests. They were just at Pirates in Disneyland, though. Confirmed By: Hale On: 7/16/2006

For those of you who are clueless to what Expedition Everest is let me clue you in. Expedition Everest is the answer to the many demands of bringing a copy of Disneyland's ride called the Matterhorn to Disney World. Expedition Everest will be a combination of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and The Matterhorn. The story of Ex. Everest will probobly be a tour of Mt. Everest gone horribly wrong. As the tour makes it's way to the peak of the mountain you will come face to face with the Abomidable Snowman.(a.k.a. the Yeti) In a desperate attempt to escape the wrath of the Yeti you accidentally lose control of the tour train. And that's when the ride starts. (again this is only my guess of the story) Reported by: Treeko626 on: 10/11/2005 You have the main idea. Having personally ridden it five times so far, I can say they go into much more detail than that. It is a true e-ticket, five star thriller. Confirmed By: booeisner On: 3/28/2006

Sorry, I just figured out what the person below said. Expedition Everest is the largest (and longest) rollar-coaster Disney has made so it's probobly a pretty long ride. Reported by: Treeko626 on: 10/11/2005 thank you for telling me that Confirmed By: Andrew Finn On: 10/13/2005

Do you know how long Expedition Everest? You kown in ride time. Reported by: on: 9/17/2005 I don't exactally know what you mean but Ex. Everest will probobly have a wait time of 1-2 hours. Or if you mean when It'll open (I just resontly visited Animal Kingdom and it looks like they are almost done building it) I'd say it'll open between December and March. Confirmed By: Treeko626 On: 10/11/2005

According to theme park insider it has been said that Journey to the center of the earth will be at animal kingdom by 08/09 .Also that they will replace the tarzan show with a nemo show . Its also been said that disney is gonna negotiate with china to bring pandas into the park is all this true? Reported by: TruePimp101@netzero.com on: 9/15/2005 I have no idea about the Pandas or anything of that matter but I am pretty sure that Tarzan is leaving for good Confirmed By: On: 11/13/2005

i herd that Expedition Everest will open in may 2006. is this true? Reported by: Andrew Finn on: 9/9/2005 I visited Animal Kingdom on Sept 20, 2005 and I was told by guest relations that Everest should be open by February. They could not give an exact date but February 2006 is what the Imagineers are pushing for. Confirmed By: ckurun2@hotmail.com On: 9/22/2005

Expedition Everest is going to be a roller coaster focused on the yeti - yes a yeti- and will be a backwards anf forwards roller coaster whe you will go whipping around the mountain, then encounter the yeit and go hurling backwards towards the beginning, should be opening next spring. Tarzan Rocks! will be going to HOng Kong in February fo 2006. Reported by: DAKGreet on: 9/5/2005 Actually I've heard that Ex. Everest will open just before Christmas.

I think Disney might be planting new trees but I'm not sure. Confirmed By: Treeko626 On: 8/14/2005

Its been confirmed that a 5th park is not in the works at the present time, but instead a new section of animal kingdom will be constructed starting late in 2006. It will not be completed until summer of 2008. The main entrance to this new region will be where camp minnie mickey is now. Finally the myth is true and Disney will be building Beastly Kingdom. One main feature of this new area is rollercoaster that stimulates your mind and senses. Be on the lookout for a ride that combines smell, sight, sound, as well as feel as you race through different parts of the planet. With a hot, cold, wet, dry, loud, and fast experience around every corner. On a side note, the dragon in the center of the Animal Kingdom logo was first designed after the reign of fire movie, but due to load noises and the use of gas and fire, they decided not to use this theme (Due to the close proxomity of the anaimals). Instead it was constructed as part of the backstage tour at Walt Disney Studios (Disneyland Paris). Now to make up for the logo one of the indoor rollercoasters designed for Beastly Kingdom will feature a dragon as well as other mythical and prehistoric creatures. One being the wully mammoth. Reported by: wdwfan@wv.com on: 4/11/2005 I am unsure how this information got out, but it has been confirmed. Expect an official statement sometime after July 4th. Confirmed By: Gina.Easterly@wdw.com On: 4/12/2005

i have seen many, many pictures of Expedition Everest, but i cant find out what it will be like. is it like space mountain, a big thrill, or Big thunder mountain railroad, a mild but still wild thrill? Anyone know? Reported by: on: 4/10/2005 i would be guessing a big thrill by the looks of the drops and the train track Confirmed By: On: 4/10/2005

Will there ever be a night time show in animal kingdom? Just like fantastic in MGM and SpectroMagic Parade in Magic Kingdom and Illuminations in EPCOT. Reported by: on: 4/9/2005 i don't think so, scinse the park is only open until 5 or 6 every night except for extra magic hours. unless they change the park hours there most likely wont be Confirmed By: On: 4/11/2005

I was looking at the logo for the animal kindom and I noticed a dragon in the middle of the logo and since Disney hasn't made an attraction in the animal kingdom with a dragon (yet) I think they'll make some sort of a ride like Dinasaur only with a dragon.(Maybe even with the Malifecent dragon) But I dunno this is a complete guess so don't blurt out at me if I'm wrong. Reported by: Treeko626 on: 4/5/2005 There are no plans currently for any new ride except Expedition:Everest Confirmed By: booeisner On: 6/28/2005

Some of the roads or for animal "maintinance". Most roads allow the CM's and CMZ's access to the feeding and health care areas of the park. Confirmed By: On: 10/5/2004

Why did Disney remove "The Discovery Riverboats"? Reported by: Treeko626 on: 7/27/2004 They removed "The Discovery Riverboats because it was long, boring and there was really nothing to see.

The expedition everest so I heard will be opeing in late 2006. Said to be the largest mountain and longest roller coaster in disney history. It is said to be a train type roller coaster that has to do with taking you up into the mountain where the legendary Yetty lives and scares off visitors of the mountain. Hmm sounds like a revamped and modernized version of the Matterhorn. Reported by: trisdancer@hotmail.com on: 6/8/2004 From an inside source, Expedition Everst will actually be open in time for the holiday season of 2005! It will be the largest mountain in the state of Florida (even though man-made)! And as far as the ride sounding like a revamped Matterhorn, trisdancer@hotmail.com nailed it on the head. Park partrons complained about not having the Matterhorn ride in WDW, so here is the answer!! Confirmed By: Jeremy On: 6/9/2004

a new mountain called expedition everest will be coming in 2006 Reported by: andy on: 4/23/2004 Confirmed By: On: 10/1/2004
