BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 UPDATE: This project has now been confirmed. See post on 7/29/13 There's a rumor floating around amongst many of the generally-reliable sources that construction will begin soon on the NEW Festival of the Lion King Theater at Disney's Animal Kingdom.The current theater is located in the Camp Minnie-Mickey area of the park, but the rumor is that this area will become part of Avatar land. It's expected that the show will remain in the current location until the new theater is completed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Do the rumors indicate where the new theater would be located? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I read somewhere (don't remember where), that they moved the check-in for the Safari Adventure thing from behind Tusker House to another location, as the path back there is going to be the entrance to the new theater.

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted March 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Word on the street is that it will be located behind Tusker House and the Dawa Bar. Helping to feed this rumor is that the Wild Africa Trek check-in location there was relocated last week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fugarwe(MN John(Juanito)) 23 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 I skipped it this year to go get fast passes, but my wife and kids really like going to the show. Looking on bingmaps, the footprint the complex of the current theatre takes up will have to be wedged in to that new space pretty tightly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
