Preview of New Harambe Theater Opening Later Today

In just a few hours, a new theater will officially open to the public at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park. The Harambe Theater will be the new home for the Festival of the Lion King, a Broadway-style show that has been playing for over a decade at the park. In addition to that, new shops and other minor additions will be available in the expanded Harambe Village. Let's take the last peek over the walls, as the area will soon open with the rest of the park (the first show of the day will be at 10:00 a.m.):

New signs have been placed around the Harambe Village to advertise the new location of the theater:
