by The Jim Hill Media Podcast Network

subscriber exclusive

about

In the fifth installment of their new seven-part series, Len Testa & Jim Hill check out some of the newer aspects of Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

lyrics

Over the course of this episode, listeners will learn about:

How is DAK’s Oasis section supposed to teach WDW visitors -- as they enter this Resort’s fourth gate -- that they are going to need to slow down and open their eyes if they’re really going to appreciate this theme park

What was done to the area in Discovery Island directly in front of the Tree of Life to better facilitate the “Winged Encounters -- The Kingdom Takes Flight” show

How many mature trees were moved to the Animal Kingdom construction site in the mid-1990s as WDW’s horticultural department labored to create this theme park’s authentic-looking jungle-like surroundings

What was kind of ironic about the sign that only became visible at Chester & Hester’s Dino-Rama after the demolition of Primeval Whirl got underway

Why the depreciation schedule for those 5000-seat stands which were built for DAK’s “Rivers of Light” nighttime show factored heavily into WDW’s decision to develop “Disney KiteTails”
