Night Kingdom to open in 2012?
Night Kingdom rumors have been going for a while and although I thought that’s it, those plans are shelved, the rumors are alive again. This time you can find some info on the always great screamscape.com site where it is claimed that Disney is creating some new experience.
The big attraction and icon of the park, right now, appears to be a large central Disney-made mountain structure where guests will be forced to ‘rock climb’ to the top, take zip lines down again and explore a serious network of caves. The goal is for this to be a very interactive game based adventure experience, with both mental and physical challenges. (Screamscape.com
Sounds interesting? Not to me! I am not getting any younger and in 2012 I will be… OK, let’s forget about my age for a moment. I don’t see myself being part of this experience any time soon where I am forced to rock climb, I don’t think I am fit enough for that. (why is chocolate so tasty and exercising so hard). So, if this news is indeed correct, Disney might be thinking about building a small park for the fit and rich (as it will come with a big price tag), leaving the whole Walt Disney concept of having fun with the whole family and people of all ages behind them. Don’t get me wrong? I am sure there are many people who love rock climbing, but would you pay to do this in a Disney park?
Maybe I see it wrong and I might be pleasantly surprised when, and if as it is a rumor and no official Disney news release, they will build this park. Interestingly some of the devices that might be part of the experience could already have been tested.
As for the game aspect, it seems that the test run of that Kim Possible Communicator game at Epcot a year or so ago was just a large scale concept test for the Night Kingdom game concept. (Screamscape.com)
