The last I heard, it was supposed to be open on the 30th of this month. But it could have been pushed back.

OOoo, thanks for saying something about this. I just looked it up, and here's the official link. It has a really nice concept picture that reminds me of the spirits/northern lights from Brother Bear. Also, from the comments, I learned that there will be a nighttime version of Kilimanjaro Safaris! Here's a link that confirms the nighttime safaris. Also, apparently the Festival of the Lion King is being moved to Africa to make room for Avatar (link). I'm glad they're keeping it. :)

I was finally able to see it last year, after never getting to see it in past years. Mainly because the Studio Backlot Tour always seem to be closed whenever I am there.
