Mysterious Island at Disney's Animal Kingdom


When I heard that Avatar was going to be at Animal Kingdom was shocked and disappointed. First of all Disney shouldn't own the rights to any franchise. Second they should have built the section for mythical creatures.

The storyline takes place in an alternate reality that occurred between the late 19th century and early 20th century. Set in an archeological dig site, a team of archeologists invite guests to explore their newest finds and their encounters with creatures only though to exist in legend. Thus, they have invited guests to partake in their "work" and embark on great adventures.

                                                                   Mythic Manor
Very much similar to one in Hong Kong Disneyland, the story begins an indoor/outdoor que. In the pre show, Lord Henry Mystic and his pet monkey Albert have recently found an enchanted music box that brings the artifacts to life. Once on the ride, curiosity seems to gets the best of Albert, as he unleashes the magic within the music box. The ridw will include new rooms, such as a library, portrait gallery, trophy room, European room, and Hindu room 

Journey to the Center of the Earth 

Similar to the one in Tokyo Disney Seas, guests will board a vehicle that will transport them into a underground realm of strange landscapes, with fantastic flora and fauna. From the crystal caverns, the mushroom forest, the central ocean and the fiery bowls home to 200 ft tall monster.

20,0000 Leagues Under the Sea 
This revival of the forgotten attraction will feature an aquarium themed que and an illusion that will think the guests are underwater, but the ride itself is an indoor attraction. Guests will board a submarine, guided by Captain Nemo himself. They will encounter a ghost ship graveyard, the giant squid and the lost city of Atlantis. 

Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Gods
Similar to the ones in both Anaheim and Tokyo, the attraction takes place in Cambodia during the 1950's. The temple is a dwelling place for the Chomnean, Khmer for ancients, which they will bless worthy mortals on their faithful pilgrimage. Once guests will board on their vehicles, they will enter the chamber of the gods, while trying not to disturb The Sleeping God. However, the deity is awaken and condemns the interlopers into eternal damnation. In which they will encounter the spirits of the dead, giant insects, serpentine dragons and fire demons.
