's animal

kingdom

is a story of disney's own magic it all began in 1990 when michael eisner and a group of talented disney image makers began thinking about the idea of ​​a theme park dedicated to animals, a traditional zoo would not. was what the designers had in mind, seeing animals in cages was not the experience that was disney after the driving philosophies were entertainment, adventure and conservation awareness, the designers started by packing their bags and leaving for Africa, surrounding themselves exactly with what they wanted to replicate, they really move their ears every time they

come

out of the water, they talk about the look, feel and story they would create for Disney's Animal Kingdom, how perfectly round, it's like a cup, almost a wash of white , you know, yes, each image maker kept a personal diary, many of their stories and experiences found their way into the Kilimanjaro safari attraction, as well as the facilities that would house Disney's newest life.

The attractions' animal experts were busy finding ways to group the animals in designated safe areas

where

they could live naturally. In April 1992, the design team came up with its master plan for the park's design. Thousands of drawings, models and images were produced in his first major project. presentation Disney executives were truly amazed with only minor changes. The park's initial design was approved and Disney's Animal Kingdom was established. It suddenly became real and urgent. First you had to find a place that contained all the ideas and stories and also provided a safe and comfortable home. For the animals, six hundred acres of land just west of the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida was perfect, it was very dry and large stands of native oaks could be saved and worked into the park in 1993.

The final details were in place. Attractions, facades, props, scripts. and designs were completed, secondary design teams headed to Africa and Asia to conduct research on buildings and vegetation while construction began, Disney employed 26,000 construction workers. Sixty miles of underground facilities were placed and four million cubic yards of earth moved to sculpt the park. 500 skilled workers were hired to do nothing more than build the necessary rocks within the park. Upon entry, guests will walk through the oasis, unlike traditional merchandise corridors and other Disney theme parks, guests will be able to relax and experience a new environment in the center of the park.

The tree of life is a towering tribute to the interconnectedness of life due to its size and weight. The initial design was based on a dome connected to a base that used offshore oil well technology. The final form was structurally sound, but for the builders it presented an enormous challenge, however, an ingenious design was conceived that allowed four branches of sequential sizes to be connected in random patterns. Sculptors from all over the

world

gathered to create the base of the tree of life. It started as a model that was cut into small cubes. They were digitized into a computer that fabricated the stages of the tree into eight-by-eight sections, once the sections were completed they were flown to the site by helicopter.

The finished tree can withstand winds of up to 74 miles per hour, has more than 100,000 aerodynamic leaves and 140-foot towers. in the air, the 100-acre Kilimanjaro safari attraction is designed to house 100 animals in a highland forest with two savannahs. The designs emphasized the importance of hiding barriers between guests and enemies in Gorilla Falls.

From the beginning, Disney was dedicated to two propositions: the animals would only

come

. of precautionary populations and no animals would be acquired if this would increase the detriment of the wild population. A personal concern for all the animals was evident when they arrived at their new home. Some of the animals were purchased, some were loaned and some were donated. The kingdom represents a paradigm shift in animal care. Retention areas were designed and budgeted with priority over attractions. The buildings are climate controlled. Huge skylights provide sunlight and fresh air circulates through the enclosures once the animals are in their new homes.

A staff of 300 animal care specialists. and the veterinarians will take care of them seven days a week here at Disney Animal Kingdom we feed 1,500 animals in one day we consume approximately one and a half tons of food of that type of food that we consume we produce grain, hay and meat products the veterinarians arrive before the dawn and decide if an individual animal can take the stage.

Now those bumps and curves in the road on Kilimanjaro safaris are no accident. A seven-inch-deep cement road, complete with ruts and potholes, was built and covered with dirt. Even letting grass grow between the tire tracks.
