New Festival of the Lion King Theater: Work Start Soon

Thursday, March 07, 2013 , , ,

Many Walt Disney World fan sites have been hinting at some rumors involving the construction of a brand-new theater for the extremely popular "Festival of the lion King" show at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park. Just recently, WDWMagic even confirmed that work should start very soon. And that is absolutely correct. In fact, one of our official Walt Disney World sources provided an exact date of the start of the work on this new theater.

Work is scheduled to take place in the Africa section of Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park beginning from Monday, March 11, 2013. The plot of land that was chosen for this project is located behind the Tusker House Restaurant and the DAWA Bar (CLICK HERE for a map of the area). You can rest assured that both the restaurant and the bar will continue to operate during this construction project, as no public areas should be affected. By the way, the check-in location for the Wild Africa Trek was also recently moved for this same reason.

Disney is finally taking the first concrete steps toward the start of the work for the new AVATAR Land project.

    While i'm glad their doing this for the Lion King, I still believe along with many others that a Journey to the Center of the Earth ride or Indiana Jones ride would be a much better fit than Avatar.

    Even the long rumored Beastly Kingdom would've been so much better than Avatar. But Avatarland/Pandora does offer the most potential if done right by Rodhe and his WDI crew.

    I don't get you "Journey" people. The movie was 5 years ago. There is no sequel. The movie was awful. At least Avatar has 2 more movies coming and the original is the highest grossing moving of all time. What am I missing?

    is there any scheduled temporary closure of FOTLK expected or is the new theater due to be completed before Camp Minnie Mickey bites the dust?

    Actually Jason, the "Journey to the Center of the Earth" attraction is not based on any existing film (especially the 2008 non-Disney movie, that in fact did have a sequel in 2012; Journey 2: The Mysterious Island).

    The "Journey to the Center of the Earth" attraction is an original work based on Jules Verne's novel and nothing else.
