Ambitious but that lift has me hella worried especially if those ride vehicles. Other than that, looks *insert expletive of your choice* amazing
Not sure I can say... but it was similar to the one in San Antonio, probably to create synergy, or was just a lazy temporary working title they gave it in the design phase. The name Infinity Falls really helps sell the tallest drop concept, so I love the name.What was the name before?
As far as I know the buildings stay, the flamingos stay, the parrots clearly are staying, since they're in the video... The building front will be refreshed, I do not know if it will be changed.So they're really not tearing down the restaurant, too? That just doesn't seem like the best use of the space. I hope they at least overhaul the restaurant to integrate with the new attraction theme and implement a whole new menu.
DO tell lol:sneak:It will be interesting to see if the info they release about this today lines up with what I already know or not.
I have been, lol. See my last few posts.DO tell lol:sneak:

Here's some of what we'll see in the Harmony Village, which from what I can tell will be located in front of the main entrance to Hospitality house after crossing the bridge from main path... and maybe some more out in the main path.
Right around here:
And out here on the path, (but behind where I was standing to take this picture, on the other side of the walkway)
As ironic as it may be, I would guess the water in front of the restaurant will actually be filled in with earth, (and then a path for the rapids carved out and filled with water.) Once filled in, there might be more room for these interactive kiosks in front of the restaurant.
Concept art showing the incredible lift as seen from the bridge to the restaurant:
Sorry yes, that's the drop, on the other side of the lift, right after going up.That's not the drop? Wasn't the lift like an elevator thing?
It will probably be kind of short, but there will be at least one time where it will pass over itself, as seen in the concept art.And the theme is/seems Amazonian, just as I hoped for. My only concern is that with the little space, perhaps the ride might be too short, unless they have an ingenious way of working around the buildings. For instance, I imagine they can use the whole area in front and go underneath the bridge?
Plus, with that vertical lift and drop, it has an intensity most rides of this type don't have.It will probably be kind of short, but there will be at least one time where it will pass over itself, as seen in the concept art.
With all the turns and moves they'll cram into this ride, it may be half as long in distance as something like Kali River Rapids, but feel 4 times as long since there's going to be so much more going on.
Kali River Rapids is mega short, I hope this is something more on the scale of length and immersion as Grizzly River Run.It will probably be kind of short, but there will be at least one time where it will pass over itself, as seen in the concept art.

I love Animal Kingdom but that ride was so lackluster I actually do not remember anything about it and I'm pretty good with that since I love theme parksMy problem with KRR is not that it's short (it admittedly is), but that it is incredibly dull. Apart from the drop and the pay for play water cannons, there is very little in the way of interesting water features. I have been on plenty of raft rides that, trackwise, are half the length of KRR and they have had so much going on that they FEEL longer. If Seaworld can pull this trick off, I think they have a hit on their hands.
Given the alleged intensity of the drop, I am curious as to the height restriction on this one as I think that will be a major factor in how it is received.
The problem with KRR is it's essentially just a loop. It takes up a lot of space, but is void of any interesting moves. The only thing to remember is the deforestation scene with the fake smell of burning trees and sound of buzzsaws... that you just float slowly by. Compare that to Popeye's, which takes up less land, but has lots of show scenes, animatronics, fun splashes, dozens of turns and moves and iconic moments that leave a lasting impression.I love Animal Kingdom but that ride was so lackluster I actually do not remember anything about it and I'm pretty good with that since I love theme parks
