When Animal Kingdom opened, even the Beastly Kingdom land logo was displayed at the entrance of the park, and renderings of it printed in the Animal Kingdom making-of book. And then, we know what happened: this Beastly Kingdom land project disappeared and there are no chances to see it built one day.
It's a pity, because there was some pretty good ideas: a rollercoaster in a castle inhabited by a dragon , the Quest for the Unicorn labyrinth, full of mythical animals...

Thanks God, we still have the WDI artwork to dream how great it could have been.

It's like a mythical fantasy land. What a cool concept.
I still can't believe this concept wasn't followed up on. Seems like a great fit for WDW AK. Do you know who did these renderings - specifically, The Quest for the Unicorn image? thx alain
They used to have a boat ride at AK that went past a cave where a blast of fire was shot at you. The docks are still there.
