The silhouette of a dragon features in Disney's Animal Kingdom logo. The original design for Disney's Animal Kingdom also included its own themed part for the animals from stories: Beastly Kingdom, a land based on animals that never existed and never will. The themed part would be unicorns, dragons and sea monsters. Currently, the park contains more than 300 different species of mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians, more than 50 species of fish and more than 40 species of insects. The park is open year-round, in 2019 Disney's Animal Kingdom reached an attendance of 13.89 million visitors in the park. #disney #animalkingdom #joerhode #martysklar #jamescameron #rollercoasters#rides #themeparkfacts #ridehardfacts #rollercoasterphotography #instariderfacts#themepark #amusementparks #insiderfacts #darkrides #specialeffectsstage
