You have the village of Harambe, Kilimanjaro Safaris, Pangani Forest Exploration Trail, Rafiki's Planet Watch, Expedition Everest, and Chester, and Hesters. Tell me which one of those sticks out like a very sore thumb. I don't care how hard it was to imagineer a fake parking lot.

Just like letting River Country go to seed, rather than putting an effort into maintaining it. Even if it was to be nothing more than a swimming hole for Fort Wilderness. It seems like cheap trumps show every time.

The parade may have worked, but not a big show.<<< Nope...not for me. Every park needs some sort of synthesis, some BIG bang to leave you with a impression as you leave it. DAK doesn't have that.
