Asia at Animal Kingdom is set in the fictional kingdom of Anandapur and it is the most texturally detailed land in the park: crumbling temples, prayer flags, hand-painted murals layered over with mock graffiti and repair work. Expedition Everest anchors it, a launched coaster with a backwards section and a Yeti animatronic that has been the subject of more fan discussion than any other figure Disney owns. Kali River Rapids provides the soaking, and the Maharajah Jungle Trek is the strongest walking trail in the park, with tigers, Komodo dragons and a large walkthrough aviary at the end that most people rush. Below you will find every ride in the land with live wait times, plus a link through to each guide.

Frequently asked questions

How wet do you get on Kali River Rapids?

Properly wet, and it is luck of the draw which seat takes the worst of it. Ponchos and waterproof bags help but do not solve it. In Florida heat that is usually the appeal rather than the problem, but do not ride it last thing before a table service meal.

Does Expedition Everest go backwards?

Yes. There is a reverse section partway through, taken in the dark, and it is the moment most first-time riders are not expecting. The ride has no inversions and the drops are moderate by coaster standards.

What is the Maharajah Jungle Trek?

A walking trail through the fictional kingdom of Anandapur with tigers, Komodo dragons, bats and a large walkthrough aviary at the end. The aviary is the part most people rush and the part most worth slowing down for.
