Animal Kingdom Update: Africa Expansion Progress (Part 1)


Welcome to our newest photo-report, Orlando Theme Park News Readers!
Today we are going to take a look around Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park to check out on the progress being done in the various areas that are currently under construction. As always, we will focus primarily on the new Harambe Theater, but we will also take a general look around the rest of the park. So, without further ado, let us embark on this virtual tour of the park:

It really feels like we are in Africa, doesn't it?:





It looks like some of the young animals still didn't get used to the new environment. It takes time:

  1. It really feels like we are in Africa, doesn't it?

    Not really, in say Kruger park you'll see 5 to 15 jeeps with tourist around 1 of the big 5 (they all signal each other) and when you are unlucky you won't see an animal at all. On the other hand the roads are smooth and paved unlike the extremely uncomfortable bumpy road Disney created. If they would fix the road it would be better then Africa. ;-)

  2. I've been to Africa, and even though Disney is isn't nearly the same, it does a good job though

  3. Six fFlags Great Advdnture in NJ does a good job with their Safari too.
