![[4K] Kali River Rapids - On Ride - Disney's Animal Kingdom](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ez_VzIIskA8/mqdefault.jpg)
One of my best experiences in AK (although my head did hurt afterward) was riding Expedition Everest with my younger brother 10 times in a row. The park was quiet after a rainstorm, and one of the cast members counted and made us custom buttons to pin on our shirts. The “I conquered Everest 10 times” button will be one of my best memories forever from Disney World!
Expedition Everest on a weekday in mid September from 4 to 6 is just a great time waiting to happen, I rode It over and over again.
The fact that they haven’t made a lion king ride yet is absolutely insane
True, however it does have arguably the best stage show in all of WDW (neck and neck with fantasmic in my opinion)
Not sure how it would fit into Animal Kingdom
Animal Kingdom itself is basically the Lion King theme park. An argument can be made that Kilamanjaro Safaris is a Lion King ride
@TheRealDonJinklejohn
I'm sorry, but *WHAT??* The Lion King is Disney and it's all animals. How does it not fit into Animal Kingdom??!!
@@TheRealDonJinklejohnhow not it’s literally about animals in a jungle 😅
Finally The Ride Ranking Series is finally complete! And now I hope you guys do a “Ranking Every Show” Or maybe a “Ranking Every Experience/Tour!” Perhaps even a guide to the water parks? Love you guys!
For sure absolutely rate the show AJAYS
Or they could rank the Disneyland rides
Yes! Live shows and attractions ranking.
@@taebae84 for sure. Completely agree with this one!
Ooh, I can explain the Disco Yeti thing in more detail. The Yeti is one of the most advanced animatronics they've ever made, but it's also the heaviest. They found out after running the ride for a short while that it's so heavy and moves so much it's literally tearing the structure apart, so they had to turn off most of the functions. In order to fix it, they'd have to actually tear the entire ride down to get to it, so they just leave it turned off and use the strobe instead.
Wish they would fix the Yeti so it works/moves.
I went to it 3 months ago and it was moving, I’m pretty sure that that’s the reason it shut down for a bit
The triceratop spin should’ve been pterodactyl, since.. you know… they’re flying
universal has one with pterodactyls!
pterosaurs *
If you notice, there are meteors flying around the triceratops. I think the idea is that these meteors are what is making the triceratops "spin", or be launched into the air before going extinct.
Omg you’re so right what the hell Disney 😂
Animal kingdom should add a section for the americas! Bears, moose, sloth, big cats! And alpaca, tortoises, and herps for kids to engage with closely! It could be really cool and feature local wildlife; and talk about conservation easily.
Oh hey, Dinoasaur, the ride that gave me so much trauma as a 7 year old and I literally couldn't go on it without an anxiety attack until almost 15 years later
My family waited 110 minutes for Na’vi River Adventure…
Probably one of the biggest mistakes during our visit at the Disneyworld parks 😂
Ty for the "flashing lights" warnings... I have epilepsy and details like that help ALOT!!! TY
I rate Dinosaur an 11 out of 10. So fun. Much better to ride as a 30 year old than an 8 year old like when I first rode it.
I’m not a huge coaster fan at all but I LOVE Everest
Also I think in the summer time Kali River Rapids should be a 8.5/10 - that sweet sweet cold water relief is HUGE
I had no idea that the Affection Section was so relaxing and addictive. Safari is also so great! Love to chill in Animal Kingdom where you don’t have to feel rushed. Such awesome theming everywhere. The Caribbean entertainers near Flame Tree are great and the Tam Tam drummers of Harambe are always a stop on my list. Animals are so fun to see.
Big BIG con for the train to Rafiki's planet watch! If the train breaks down you are STUCK with nothing else to do! We were stuck there for 1hr waiting on the train to return
My list
8) Triceratops Spin. Nothing wrong with it inherently, just underwhelming for Disney.
7) Train Ride. It needs more going on.
6) Dinosaur. It's like they wanted a cross between Indiana Jones Adventure and Jurassic Park River Adventure but wanted it to be inferior to both and too loud and clunky. That said, I do appreciate that it's an original attraction that was only sort of IP based. But I just don't think that they stuck the landing.
5) Kali River Rapids. Fun but I think this needed a more dynamic environment. Maybe add some animatronics or a short indoor scene. Ultimately, it's a normal family rapid ride with a nice setting.
4) Navi River Journey. I'll be honest, I really like this. It isn't as story driven but the atmosphere is really amazing. I know the queue is boring but I think the ride itself is great.
3) Flight of Passage. Yes it's amazing. Yes it takes your breath away. Yes it's thrilling. But it is not the best attraction at DAK and certainly not at WDW. The queue is amazing (when you're in the main queue area.) But screen based attractions are always limited by the fact that you aren't physically immersed and can't take in everything happening around. Plus even the best 3D will never register in your brain as being reality. This is definitely the best simulator dark ride but it is held back specifically because it is a simulator dark ride.
2) Expedition Everest. It's just fantastic. Almost everything is perfect here. I only wish there was a workable way to fix Disco Yeti.
1) Kilamanjaro Safari. I love the animal exhibits at DAK but this ride is on another level. The landscaping is world class. The exhibits look phenomenal. The animals are impressive and beautiful. And it serves perfectly as a thesis statement for the park.
My ranking:
#1 FOP best ride in AK #2 Everest #3 Dinosaur #4 Kilimanjaro Safaris #5 Kali Rapids #6 Navi River #7 Wildlife Express Train #8 Triceratops Spin.
Here ya go so that way you know what one is witch easily!
DinoLand U.S.A (1:30-5:41)

2. Dinosaur (7/10) (Great for people who want an intense ride (thrill seekers)
Pandora: World of Avatar (5:53-11:49)
1. Na'vi River Journey (7/10) (Great for people who L.O.V.E Avatar and like dark rides)
2. Avatar Flight of Passage (9/10) (Great for people who need to escape)
Asia (11:50-17:51)

My ranking:
#1 FOP best ride in AK #2 Everest #3 Dinosaur #4 Kilimanjaro Safaris #5 Kali Rapids #6 Navi River #7 Wildlife Express Train #8 Triceratops Spin.
@@violetanderson8106 omg literally same. FOP is my absolute favorite. Im pretty sure I shed a tear or two the first time I rode it. I also LOVE Everest!
@@hannahbanana701 what is FOP?
@@gmitto75 it stands for 'flight of passage' the ride
Avatar is my favorite movie ever and I ADORE Flight of Passage. Though one time the smellizer leaked onto my head and turned my hair green lol🤷
My ride ranking for DAK:
8. Kali River Rapids, I don't ride this.
7. Triceratop Spin, it's just a generic spinner but dinosaurs
6. Train to Rafiki's, the Animation experience they take you to is fun but the ride itself is just a train with a few educational narrations. Cool behind the scenes tho, and I agree, I think people often miss this
5. Navi River Journey, the scenes are so amazing but there are better rides
4. DINOSAUR, Disney did well with this "scary-ish" angle on their dark vehicle rides
3. Kilimanjaro Safaris, the animals are super active if you go 1st thing so time your ride well
2. Expedition Everest, so thrilling, such a classic, and honestly pretty easy to get on when I was there (are people really underrating this lately?)
1. Flight of Passage, best ride in the entirety of WDW for me!!! The feeling of flying and the scenics are absolutely breathtaking 💖 I agree with getting in line at night, people underrate DAK so the lowest wait times are at night 😊
Flight of passage is the best ride in everywhere. I don’t agree 9/10 . It should be 100/10. This ride give you amazing world to enjoy. So many people take hours to wait in the line, it’s totally worth.
yes 100%
I've been waiting for this video for so long! I'm so excited to go to Disney World in August. Thanks to DFB and AJ for the amazing tips! :)
Ranking Low to High
Triceratop Spin - It’s a kiddie ride. Not for me.
Naavi River Ride - to me a less impressive Jungle Cruise.
Kali River Rapid - I can’t really comment as much because it is usually not operational. But yeah, it is a river rapid ride. Keep your electronics in ziplocks and wear leggings or wuick dry pants and shoes.
Wild Life Express Train - You may possibly get a sneak peak of animals. If you are into behind the scenes or animals? This is educational.
Dinosaur - So much fun and scary
Kilimanjaro Safari - Try to get an edge seat and pick the morning or post 5 pm.
Expedition Everest - Too much fun
Flight of Passage - Absolutely fantastic, but I have noticed weird wonkiness
My ranking:
#1 FOP best ride in AK #2 Everest #3 Dinosaur #4 Kilimanjaro Safaris #5 Kali Rapids #6 Navi River #7 Wildlife Express Train #8 Triceratops Spin.
I wouldn't even give Naavi River Journey the Jungle Cruise comparison. Jungle Cruise has an abundance of working animatronics and live narration from a cruise guide throughout the ride. Naavi is literally just a bunch of videos playing on screens around every corner until you get to the one cool animatronic at the end. Very disappointing.
Would have been cool if it was more like Jungle Cruise with more animatronics and some form of narration describing the areas you are sailing through and the wildlife living there.
I went on Dinosaur with my brother-in-law back in 2010 while the moms and little kids went to watch Nemo and it blew our socks off. We ran down to Everest, single ridered it, then had enough time to come back to Dinosaur again. The second time, there was a dad with a boy that couldn't have been over 6yo. We laughed knowing that they had no idea what it was but we decided to pump him up and give him high fives telling him how cool it is. At the end, he was practically white as a ghost and had a death grip on the bar in front of his seat. We cheered and gave him high fives telling him how brave he was and how cool the dinosaurs were. I'd like to think that was a formative event that forever changed how he viewed "scary" situations. Who knows, but BIL and I still smile about that experience to this day.
When I first rode dinosaur, I had also just ridden all the other big rides including Everest for the first time ever. So by the time I got on dinosaur I was like “oh that ride was so easy and not scary at all” 2 years later I came back to Disney w my whole fam and told my parents it was okay for my 4 year old sister to ride bc it was so easy. Well she sat there petrified and I was wrong. The worst part tho is that a cast member even told my mom it’d be okay for her to ride. Meanwhile, kids were coming off screaming & crying left and right lol
I know, my brother and I both have motion sickness and my other brother is afraid of heights I had to convince them both to go on Dinosaur (among other rides-_-)
I love the VR one where we ride a banshee!
(The avatar Flight of Passage)
I rode expedition Everest 14 times in a day, someone I went with almost got sick and they chickened out at 8
Na'vi River Journey was really nice. We rode it last on the first night of our family trip and it was so beautiful. I hate Avatar but I started to tear up.
7 Tricera Top Spin
6 Navi River Journey
5 Kali River Rapids
4 Kilmanjaro Safari
3 Dinosaur
2 Expidition Everst
1 Flight Of Passage
Just read my mind😂
That is pretty much my ranking.
My ranking:
#1 FOP best ride in AK #2 Everest #3 Dinosaur #4 Kilimanjaro Safaris #5 Kali Rapids #6 Navi River #7 Wildlife Express Train #8 Triceratops Spin.
One day you should really go to The Efteling in The Netherlands, I think you are going to love that park.
Now I really want a 20 minute Na'vi River Journey
Lol can you imagine how relaxing that would be? Although I wonder how they would fill up all the space….
@@SirAlexTheKnight add some areas from the Sequel(s)?
I don't, if it's just more screens playing videos. The ride needs more animatronics.
I was stunned at how much I loved Flight of Passage for not caring much about the movie. Word of caution though - if you're on the large side, make sure you fit in the restraints... I'm over 250 lbs and the problem wasn't my stomach, which is squishy and moves easily out of the way, but my calves, which are strong and stiff and nearly kept me from fastening into the bike! I had to lift my feet up so that the restraint fastened around a lower, thinner part of my calf in order for it to fit well enough.
I was just looking for this video yesterday and here it is!
I took a tour guide and she said the yeti actually does move a little bit now, it extends its arm
Also I have motion sickness AND A very giant big fear of heights but since I knew it was Vr and could still see the bike and the people around you so I instead enjoyed it!!!
Does anyone else cry a little bit on the Flight of Passage? Not from it being scary, but just from the joy of flying?
I cried when it was over yeah 😭
I thought I was the only one!
Also cried when my last ride of my recent trip was over 😭 didn't want it to end
I remember when I was 8 I rode the Everest ride and I was so scared because I didn’t realise it went backwards. Still haven’t been on it to this day but I think I will next time I go
Seriously do not miss out on the shows here. Both are a great way to get imto some air conditioning and relax to some good music and feels.
Expedition Everest was down for maintenance the whole time I was there in March, so naturally I need to go back to see how it stacks up!
Thank u for this ranking series. As someone who does get motion sickness I know which rides I should probably avoid & which ones I can enjoy without worry
Expedition Everest is the best Disney rollercoaster no one can ever change my mind, I rode it 8 times in a row and bought the shirt 😅
I wouldn’t say the ride itself is the best but what makes it the best is that its wait time is usually so much better than most Disney coasters.
I love your videos so much!! Do you do a video on all the attractions/shows at animal kingdom?
Dinosaur! Is loud and overbearing and I absolutely love it 😂 I'm always terrified but it's only of my favourite disney rides, so underrated
Going there tomorrow morning! Thankyou for the video!
Thanks AJ. Stay Safe All Of You At DFB!💖
We went on the rapids ride when my sister and I were young and my parents woke her up from a nap to get on it (she would fall asleep a lot between rides) and she was in the seat that got water dumped all over her. She was maybe 3 at the time and still talks about it because she was so upset by the whole thing.
This was great to watch and very helpful! I have a trip to animal kingdom soon this will be great. I recommend you watch this before you go to animal kingdom!☺️🙂
I love Dinosaur my favorite ride because my dad (who’s sick now) got on it with me.
i’m going to animal kingdom this sunday so i’m so happy this got released 😁
cannot wait for it to be sept 2023 for my trip!!
That's when my trip is to
So fun! Which parks will you be going to?
My dream is for them to make a ride that mimics the scene from Encanto when Antonio opens his door and his jaguar runs and climbs around his room. Cmon who wouldn't want to ride that?!
I'm still a Disney fan, but I'm a dinosaur lover first and foremost, so DinoLand is and always will be my number 1 land. I even have all the toy dinosaurs, even though they're kinda worn.
The only change I'd ask for is to make some of the Triceratops different colors (i.e. one blue, one orange/yellow,, etc)
Going to Animal Kingdom and Epcot for the first time in two weeks. I’m so appreciative of your videos💙
For the roller coaster Dinosaur you get tossed around like a Mexican Jumping bean in a maraca
I agree that Nav’i River Journey should be longer. Everyone should get some time to relax and chill especially in a busy place like Disney World
Oh nice! Me and my family are planning to go to Disney in the fall for the first time ever, but we can only afford two days so I want to see which rides I should choose to go on
when i went to animal kingdom on June 19th the train for Rafiki's planet watch broke down and they had to initiate an emergency walking path and we had to walk the blacktop backstage all the back to the park
My child and I recently left our footprints all over Animal Kingdom. (And I’m still tired from all that walking.) I will admit, I loved Dinosaur! (My kid, not so much.) But if you’re wearing a hat, um ...yeah...you may want to take it off before that ride starts!
This was great thanks.
🤩
Love these kind of videos- thanks for churning them out AJ and team :)
My family loved Primevil whirl, it was our memories picture every visit.
Animal Kingdom is only a half day park imho if you don’t take the time to go through all the animal exhibits and trails on the island, and especially in Africa and Asia. Which curiously, I’ve found a lot of people don’t really know too much about 😞 same with the Conservation Station and everything in Rafiki’s
My favorite ride at DAK is Everest but that’s probably partly nostalgia since my real fave is DLR’s Matterhorn 🥰.
I have yet to ride Flight of Passage though…
Off to park hopp Holywood Studios then Animal Kingdom tomorrow. In AK need to hit up Dinosaur ride (which was off last week when we were there) and Lion King show which has just came back.
Oh and Avatar Flight ride is absolutely amazing!
I get annoyed when people say Animal Kingdom is a half day park. If you don’t just ride the rides and actually go look at the animals, it’s easily a full day experience.
Agreed! Between Festival of the Lion King, It’s Tough to Be a Bug, Finding Nemo, the Feathered Friends in Flight, the two animal trails, a drink at Nomad Lounge and a spiked Dole Whip, you’ve spent the whole day in Animal Kingdom bliss! But don’t tell anyone, this can be our little secret!
@@csharrison2011We hit all the shows, trails and rides and still had a massive amount of time on our hands afterward, so we ended up riding multiple rides two or three times to fill the rest of the day out after all the animal attractions closed at 4:30. We all agreed that this park could use just about two more good rides to make it complete.
thank you for the help
My favorite park 🥹❤️ Only a few months until we’re back!
Lots of excitement!
YESS waited for this!!
Expedition Everest scared the living bejesus out of me. It is literally the only ride at Disney I refuse to ever go on again.
4:00 "It can be intense for kids. It's also intense for AJs" 😂
Do you have a video how the Lightning lane works??
Love the rides at AK!
Can't wait to go Oct. 21. The Lion King show is really great and I never saw the movie.
Would you recommend this park for a family of 4 2 toddlers my oldest is 5 and my youngest is 2 looking for advice wants to go on as much rides with my children we live 3 hours away and want it to be worth it thanx
"instead of facing forward like you would on any other transportation system, you'll sit facing the left side of the track"
so... like the disneyland railroad then (except that faces the right side of the track)
We're planning a trip to Disney World and have already paid for flight, hotel, park tickets, etc. Disneyland is closer to us than Disney World, but we thought it would be nice to try the East Coast. But today, I just learned something I somehow missed and I hope DFB Guide can help enlighten others so they don't make the same mistake. And here it is: Disney World parks typically close at 9 PM! And the Animal Kingdom closes at 7 PM. That's nuts! Here on the West coast, Disneyland is open until midnight or later, even on weekdays. I just assumed the folks on the East coast were the same. Over our 2 week stay, we're losing 3 hours or more of prime park time each day, right when the night cools down and the park lights come on... the magic time of night. That's a lot of missed park time! The kids talked me out of canceling our vacation and rebooking everything in Anaheim, California because they really want to see the expanded Harry Potter parts of Universal Orlando. Still, it broke my heart to learn a big chunk of the magic will be gone from our trip for those magical evenings in the park.
There is a way to make up for this - it's not huge, but it's something - if you're staying at a deluxe resort, you can take advantage of Extended Evening Hours - Monday in Epcot, Wednesday in Magic Kingdom.
@@lindajmaglionico Thank you. We are staying at a Disney World hotel, but not eligible for late park access. C'est la vie.
@@SprocketWalker bummer!
I love what you do
happy for people who life FOP but my family really didn’t like it lol. it didn’t help that we waited 2 hours (before genie existed lol) and then got stuck on the ride. it was a very painful seat and people were getting claustrophobic and were screaming for cast members. i won’t ride that one again unless i’m with someone who reallly wants to ride it! but it seems like most people love it so def give it a try!!
Navi river journey is my service dogs absolute favorite ride in all of Disney
My family loves animals, so we will be spending the whole day at Animal Kingdom and going on every ride and to every show.
Is the only way to see the animals on the safari ride, or can you walk around and see the animals too?
YO AJ do you narrate an ad for epic trips?? That lady sounds just like you!
i think disney should build a whip ride in primeval whirl's place since i keep reading on youtube that whip rides are seen at traveling fairs like spinners like triceratop spin
I HAVE GONE TO ANIMAL KINGDOM AND I WENT ON MOUNT EVEREST 3 TIMES IT WAS SO GOOD
“The Petting Zoo? Dorothy, even I don’t go to that club anymore” Blanche from the Golden Girls
i finally went on this ride last week and agreed...it's a great ride, nice to look at things and details but it;s WAY TO SHORT!!! I was stunned how short it was and disappointed too. But I liked the ride a lot.
honestly, I'm ok with AK *not* having more rides, because it's the animals I love to see
The problem is all of the animal attractions close by 4:30, if the park is open another four hours there is literally nothing else to do in it. There is definitely room for a new ride or two to fill things out.
Funny how this video came out. Now Disney has an Animal Kingdom survey for all guest to fill out each attraction from best to worst Sounds like new changes are coming.
Three way tie for the best imo, you got Everest, Flight of Passage, and Dinosaur
Again, this is a RATING, not a RANKING. Words matter.
Create video can’t wait to we come over in September do you know when we can book for bibbidi bobbidi boo I know it says early August have you heard of any dates when we can book it for as we are coming over from England thank you would be most appreciated
i have a friend that wants to d.i.y autograph book but does know know how, can anyone give us tips on what we can do
I enjoy these videos, but I am always confused by the use of the term "ranking." There is no ranking happening here. These videos are rating the rides, not ranking them. I am sure this has been pointed out before.
What shows (like the Lion King Show mentioned) are currently running in Disney World and are they free?
1. Dinosaur
2. Flight of passage
3. Kilimanjaro
4. Expedition everest
5. Navi river
Never rode anything else
Thank you for the video but I guess there’s no much rides in animal kingdom it’s more natural safari with jungle decoration ! ❤🎉but I do love it I will visit it
as a big star wars fan, i think hollywood studios is the best disney park. The toy story land is so beautiful and fun as well,
I’m not a Star Wars fan, but I love how detailed Galaxies edge is. You really do feel like you’re there. HollyWood studios definitely wins when it comes to detail
I love you AJ!
So sad that Na'vi River Journey is so short. It was supposed to be longer and even have a drop but dumb deadlines and budget cuts ruined it
Wow, yeah. This ride needed something more. A drop down a waterfall section makes a ton of sense. It could have also used some form of narration throughout the ride explaining what you are sailing through like an actual wildlife cruise.
I watch all your videos
I need a live show and attraction ranking video!!! 💖✨🌠🌈🐭
Yessss
Me: I wish someone thought I looked like a snack.
Carnotaurus: You look like a snack.
Me: No.
Dinosaur is definitely a 10/10 & is better than the Jurassic Park boat ride in Island of Adventure.
Yes.
You should now do a video on which parks (between the 4) are most worth genie+
MK and HS. MK because there are so many rides, HS because the long lines of the thrill rides. The others can be managed with good planning. But it always depends on your family and planing. If your in the parks 2 days or 7 days, it makes a lot of difference…
My favorite AK ride is Expedition Everest!
