Question Animal Kingdom Dragon

Hey for those of you who have been to AK have you seen that sigh out in front that has like a whole bunch of animals on it??? There is a dragon in there but for no reason because there isn't a single dragon in AK!!! They even have one over one of the ticket booths!!! If someones thinking of that water fall that looks like that Dino Monster thing, Trust me that doesn't count.

Cool dragons...

The original plan was to include an area called Beastly Kingdom, which would feature fabled animals out of old legends. One of the planned attractions was called Quest of the Unicorn. The real showpiece would have been Dragon Tower, a crumbling old castle inhabited by a fierce dragon guarding his treasure hoard.

Beastly Kingdom was put on the back burner while Animal Kingdom worked on a movie-tie in for Dinosaur. Supposedly those plans were just postponed, not completely cancelled, and thats why all those dragons are everywhere

Hmm sounds interesting and a little too much like the Lost Contient at Islands. Thats probably why they didn't pull it all the way through.

Nope. Islands of Adventure opened a year after Animal Kingdom so I doubt that was the reason. Rumor has it that the Imagineers who were laid off from the project went to Universal to design Dueling Dragons and most of the Lost Continent.

Yes, they originaly planned an area called Beastly Kingdom to be built in AK, but they kind of canceled their plans when their development budgets reduced. Today, Camp Minnie-Mickey is now currently where Beastly Kingdom, would have been.
I don't think theirs been any further plans to bring their project to reality.

There was a Dragon on the Boat tours there but that attraction was only open for a year.

Belair, I have been a WDW fan since I was 13 months old and I still love it today, we have lost many beloved attractions but hopefully we can bring something back one at a time so we can once again Explore a world of imagination, ride wildly through toad Hall and London, reach depths of 20,000 leagues, and view the Visions of Tomorrow's Horizons through our eyes and the eyes of the world. I Believe it, do you? As they still say If We Can Dream It, We Really Can Do It! My life goal is to become a Disney Imagineer so I may help in Bringing back some of the magic that we have lost and also bring originality back to the parks.General Grizz, wherever you are I salute you.
