Discovery River Boats (Disney's Animal Kingdom) Pt. 1 of 2

Disney's Animal Kingdom, remember it's not a zoo!

Does Pandora count as Disney's answer to "Beastly Kingdom?" Personally, I would have loved to see a land based on animals found in Star Wars.

Disney should bring this ride back!

where is the iguanodon animatronic? why is it not in this video?

The inclusion of these boats really added a lot of kinetic energy to the parks waterways. Its unfortunate that they couldn't figure out a solution to the problem instead of just closing the attraction. :/

The concept of this ride looks good, but you dont actually see anything that you wouldnt see just walking around the park. There are no hidden waterways or places you cant see on foot. Thats why they got rid of it. I would like to see a world of colour display on the River like Disneys California adventure

@8383mon Yah but the imaginers who were laid off brought it to universal, but if disney would of did, it would have been so much better.

@masterofpistols In my opinion they should. They get plenty of money from their super expensive merchandise and overpriced resort rooms.

@masterofpistols wasnt dueling dragons supposed to got to disney?

BOO. Using a spider to distract everyone from the Beastly Kingdom remains!

Why Did They Close This Ride?

Darn it, this looked neat.

@masterofpistols With luck they may just put the Beastly Kingdom in. Now that Eisner is gone.

I loved that ride, its a shame its not there anymore..

I forgot how BAD this was.

how come the dragon wasn't in the cave?

it would have been cool if they made the boat even louder...

that dragon statue is a dragon fountain and there is a cave with a fire breathing dragon cool huh

They stopped running the boats because of complaints. It was never meant to be a ride, just a form of transportation. People would wait in line hours and then were disappointed. It is a beautiful view from the lagoon and a shame that people aren't able to get that anymore.

Most of the boats are not used anymore but they do use one of them to take the characters around the lagoon at different times during the day.
