The rumor about Disney's Beastly Kingdom (or Kingdomme) has been going around for quite a while, since as far back as 1998, and resurfaces from time to time.
Like now.
It goes something like this:
The Beastly Kingdom would be the 5th "land' at Disney's Animal Kingdom, joining Africa, Asia, Dinoland, and Camp Minnie-Mickey.
Or maybe Camp Minnie-Mickey would be absorbed since it was originally supposed to have been 'temporary'.
Dragons and unicorns would be a big feature.
Rumored rides/attractions were "The Dragon Tower", "Quest of the Unicorn" maze, "Fantasia Gardens" (boat ride). Another rumor has it that WDI is thinking up totally new things.
The entrance would be through the Camp Minnie-Mickey area. Since the Pocahontas and Her Forest Friends attraction closed in September, the rumor about new construction has picked up some steam.
And.
Disney-watchers like to point out that the AK logo does indeed have a dragon smack-dab in the middle.
And don't forget the Unicorn parking area.
The rock dragon fountain (looks more like a stegosaurus to me), a remnant from the early planning, is still there, although the dragon fire cave is not. Or at least not 'fired up'.So it must be gonna happen, someday.
Oh, and another rumor, perhaps the most interesting, has it that Disney laid off the Imagineers who were planning the Beastly Kingdom and these guys were then hired by the place down the road to create "Dueling Dragons" and the "Flying Unicorn".
If it's not true, it does make a great rumor.
