Brazil ride to be similar to King Kong!

[Figment632]

I've heard this a few places and LEE from Magic and DK is saying that the leading rumor for the Brazil attraction is an Air tram ride similar to King Kong that used to be in USO

Go back and look at the Venezuela art....very similar.


Jim Hill calls it a "aerial-tram-through-the-tropical-rainforest". It sounds to be like a combination of Soarin' and Living with the Land.

Besides the Brazillian press release, do we have any indication of this happening, or is TDO just trying to find some leaks like they did with the Frontierland project?

Here is a link to the picture that this was designed for a Venuzela pavi but will be used for Brazil

This would be awsome while not a thrill but I would get the KK ride system back along with large Soarin type screens this is Awsome

I hope this gets built, considering WS hasnt gotten any new countries since what, '88 I think?

Well they have to announce something at D23 and EC has gotten the shaft the last two years so that's what I'm hoping for.

I don't think that is called for I was right about the complete redesign of FLE you didn't believe me then either

They'd need an awful lot of space if the new ride was to be anything similar to King Kong.
Maybe they might have a "virtual" Brazilian Tour group attempt to storm the ride as it's traveling? Yelling and screaming just like in real life as they attempt to shake the ride to get you off so they can get on....

And as we've seen before, a # of hurdles from conception to execution in any project like this.

I don't know if they have as much space as Kong had, but they do have plenty of space back there.

Yup and wHo knows they hardly ever add new countries and most likely will never use all the empty slots so maybe the will take up two slots.

I know this is a little off topic but, what was this Frontierland project that was used to find information leaks?

On Topic

If the Brazil rumor is true i'm still hoping for a Rainforest coaster, but this is cool and a good second.

There may be an expansion if Frontierland in the work.

That I knew but why are people saying that it was used to find Information Leaks?
