Review
Animal Kingdom is the best Disney park in North America, containing unique thrill rides, a drive-through safari and terrific landscaping. I love strolling around it: its dense jungle and perfect cocktail of rides make for the best possible theme park experience.
'Expedition Everest', opened in 2006, is a colossal, fast and surprising backwards-and-forwards roller coaster careering through a Himalayan landscape in search of the yeti. With stops, thrills and a stunningly life-like yeti animatronic at the end, it leaves nothing out apart from some lacking interior design within the mountain structure. 'Everest' is quite a rough roller coaster by Disney standards and, given its extensive use of G-forces, not for everyone.
'Dinosaur': due to its hidden location many visitors miss this attraction, but it’s a must! Using the same 'Enhanced Motion Vehicle' technology as the Indiana Jones rides in California and Japan, you get warped back in time, crashing through a dark dinosaur jungle. It is actually better, faster and more comfortable than the Indiana Jones versions. As meteors thunder down around you while speeding through the primeval forest, dinosaurs everywhere, the ride reaches a real high.
'It’s Tough to be a Bug!' is the best 3-D movie Disney ever created. The screen is set into the roots of the beautifully designed artificial 'Tree of Life', made up of dozens of animals carved into the tree’s trunk. After the most entertaining and inspiring theme park queue you will ever stand in, you will watch a greatly entertaining movie, complete with bugs attacking the audience... from everywhere!
'Kilimanjaro Safaris': your driver will take you on a narrative journey, cruising in your safari vehicle through an African-themed landscape with lions, elephants, rhinos, crocodiles and giraffes. The size of the area that awaits you behind this attraction’s small entrance is very surprising. This is the best safari experience outside Africa!
Whatever your plan is, don't skip Animal Kingdom when visiting Walt Disney World!
