Closing for three months... but not fixing the Yeti.

Shaman animatronic in Pandora was missing when I was there last week. Replaced with a screen.

wow. Not much to that attraction when the Shaman is down for maintenance. It's mainly a one trick pony ride.

Agreed, it’s anticlimactic. The holograms were also looking poorly lit. I’m guessing the projectors need new bulbs.

It is neat that they have that as a backup B-Mode. The scene flips around revealing the screen side to guests, and positioning the Shaman AA backstage to be worked on.

It’s also pretty funny that they filmed the shaman animatronic in that spot and that’s the b-mode footage.

Reminds me of the scrims for facade work that are just photos of the facade in front of the facade.

I do have to give them credit for even implementing a B-mode at all; yes, it's nowhere near as good a ride without the AA, but at least you still get something functional at the end, unlike the case with a certain Himalayan monster on the other side of the park.

Just read a report that Nemo show is permanently closed. Very sad, I really enjoyed that one.

Yep, they shut it down. Cast got emails this morning. I've heard there are hopes to sell the show rights to schools, but as for the Dinoland theatre, I imagine it'll be awhile for it to be filled with something else.

It's a real shame. The show was fun and I hope the theatre isn't empty for too long.

Was it no longer getting the crowd it used to?

 

[BigHouseFootball]

Regarding the Yeti, I think we all need to accept that it’s never going to be fixed. At least I have.

I am completely shocked and saddened about Nemo! Yes, it had been there quite a while but it still drew in massive crowds! I’d much rather have the snooze fest Festival of the Lion King close then Nemo! (I’ll duck from the on coming tomatoes)

Disney: Performs its usual budget cuts

Theme park fans: Is this a Zootopia?

Nemo getting shut down without a final “farewell” show is a tragedy.

I know the cast was hit pretty hard by the news. It's really terrible. Disney showing how much it cares about its' entertainment once again.

It really is.

Nemo gone, walls up at PW, @Alicia posting a mini land tease (I think tongue in cheek) maybe AK will finally get some love on a human scale

Just gotta wait like 8 years! :thumbsup:

If it is Zootopia, I guess it opens in Shanghai in 23' or 24', leaving an exclusivity period of five years for an eventual opening in 2029? 13 years after the original movie came out? That's the only (logical) reason I can see for why they wouldn't just build something there now (well, besides the fact that Disney is cheap)

Please for the love of god Disney bring something else to Animal Kingdom in the intervening time.
