Kali River Rapids

Africa, one of the six themed lands at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, is definitely the first place any thrill seeker should visit inside this theme park. Between the park’s most popular attractions, Expedition Everest and the Kali River Rapids, guests can experience two different kinds of thrills – both on land and on the water!

These two popular rides at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park exemplify not only the different kinds of attractions this park offers, but also the wide array of options at all four of the Disney Parks.

Many people visit Central Florida not only for its top-notch attractions, but also for its year-round warm climate. But, this warm-weather advantage can also be one of the area’s downfalls in the warmer months, as temperatures and humidity can combine to make many visitors uncomfortable and in need of a way to cool off. One sure-fire way to accomplish that is with a ride down the Chakrandi River on Kali River Rapids. This sign at the entrance to this 12-passenger raft ride sums it up perfectly: “You WILL get wet… You MAY get soaked!” Indeed, there are many opportunities for guests to be doused with water on this ride, from gushing geysers, waterfalls, choppy water and even a three-story drop! And, if you have somehow managed to stay relatively dry during this white-water adventure, be on the lookout for a bridge and elephant statues near the end of the ride, as guests on the bridge can shoot water out of these statues to soak the helpless passengers on the boat ride below.

As with every ride at the Walt Disney World Resort, you can expect a theme to be carried out throughout this attraction. On Kali River Rapids, guests are warned in the queue area that “Kali River Expeditions” (the “company” taking you on this adventure) has a mission to maintain the natural beauty of the area, including evading illegal loggers. This comes up several times throughout your ride, as you pass through a section complete with a truck full of logs, tree stumps and even smell the aroma of smoke filling the air.

Kali River Rapids may have been Disney’s first attempt at a full-fledged water attraction, but with its educational theme and fun-filled ride (and did we mention the water?), this attraction was definitely a homerun and a natural choice to be added to the Africa section of Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park. If you want to experience this attraction for yourself, at a discounted price nonetheless, look no further than right here at OrlandoFunTickets.com, Orlando’s largest ticket store and the online leader for discounted Central Florida theme park tickets!
