"Every uncharted path and trail in this fourth Walt Disney World park will lead to thrilling encounters with the real, imaginary and extinct creatures who rule here. One minute your heart will pound so loud you can hear it. The next you’ll have a smile on your face you can’t wipe away." |
| The adventure begins in The Oasis, a lush tropical forest flowing with waterfalls and fluttering with exotic birds. Close by, a vivid rainbow of live creatures scamper in the mist. Emerge from this breathtaking paradise, and there, rising 140 majestic feet before you, towers the awe-inspiring Tree of Life, its mighty trunk and branches cloaked in a tapestry of hand-carved animals-each more spectacular than the last. Just take a close up look at the spectacular artwork detailed into the bark of the tree itself!!! |

Off in the distance you’ll discover Harambe, Africa-the last signs of civilization before Kilimanjaro Safaris whisk you off to the African Savannah. Hang on as your open-air Land Rover rambles through muddy trails and running rivers until you find yourself surrounded by real herds of free-roaming elephants, lions, zebra, giraffe and other unpredictable creatures of the wild. |
| For some prehistoric hysteria, bolt over to DinoLand U.S.A. As you cross under the bracchiosauraus bridge you’ll stumble across The Boneyard playground, a dino dig site where children can climb and slide and slither down huge dinosaur fossils or unearth the bones of a woolly mammoth. Then race back 65 million years in time on Countdown to Extinction, a suspense-loaded thrill ride, to the edge of disaster. Your mission: to rescue the last dinosaur, before a fiery meteor slams into the earth. |
