Kali River Rapids
At Kali River Rapids, guests are launched on 12-person rafts into the turbulent
Chakranadi River for a wild, wet ride through a jungle habitat jeopardized
by illegal logging. Rafters first travel into a huge bamboo tunnel, where
they're enveloped in a jasmine-scented mist as their raft climbs upriver
into the headwaters.
Soon their rafts encounter a sweeping waterfall. A giant carved tiger
face appears from behind the falls. Gliding beyond to the wondrous
rainforest and temple ruins, the raft emerges suddenly from a bamboo
thicket, and the sweet jasmine aroma is lost to the acrid smell of burning
wood. A discordant note is struck as fires are burning, trees are falling,
habitat is destroyed and pristine lands are endangered, a constant threat
in Asia. As their raft twists and spins through the river, guests face a
denuded landscape of logged-out forest burning wildly. A tangled arch of
burning logs looms ahead as the raft rushes toward a fiery doom. Disaster
narrowly avoided, more thrills await on a ride through turbulent waters
that reveals a surprise around every turn, including an abrupt drop into
churning waters.
Kali River Rapids features Disney's FASTPASS, an innovative system --
free to park guests -- designed to reduce waiting times at popular
attractions in all four Walt Disney World theme parks.
