Disney's Animal Kingdom (General Discussion)

[UniversalRBLX]

I don’t know the layout of this park as well as others (backstage as well as onstage) but I’m shocked they haven’t, for lack of a better phrase, Epcot’d this park and focus on food and festivals a bit more. It’s a great park to hang in and can easily celebrate the cuisine that all the countries and cultures represented here.

I 100% agree with you, this park deserves better use. There are a lot of areas that are unfortunately underutilized such as Flame Tree's beautiful outdoor seating (only busy at lunch) and Pizzafari only open for lunch. Harambe Market is ideal for a rotating selection of menu items (prior to being overtaken by burgers & chicken tenders). Tiffin's is not driving much interest either.

The park has very little to convince folks to stay for an entire day, let alone for multiple visits. Once Tropical Americas opens, it should help a bit (though the park would still need a nighttime show to keep guests at night).


I'd like for them to try a different festival, not just food, but entertainment and other experiences.

Idk what kind of space they have, but closing Dinosaur is so obviously a mistake. They should’ve given it a 2.0, leveled Dinoland and built a high budget land focusing on the animal kingdom of the ancient past, and just built Encanto somewhere else. A lengthy transformation of one of the parks only rides into a clone of a 30 year old ride from across the country is a lateral move at best.

There’s a world where this is my favorite park on Earth, but it’s been so poorly managed for years… sucks.

It's already a clone of a 30-year-old ride from across the country. Now, hopefully, it'll actually be a good clone of that excellent ride from across the country.

The way I was hitting up those booths on my last visit, you couldn't tell me there wasn't a festival.

The Stuffed Pancake Sandwich. The Colombian-Style Hot Dog. The Pulled Pork Cheese Arepa. The POG Juice-based drinks. I wanna go back just to eat and drink.
