LP Lotion: Joe Rohde on Animal Kingdom's Birthday

Joe reminded all that it is, however, a very highly designed environment. In fact the Kilimanjaro Safari was among the very first large landscape digital modeling ever done. It would take days to print out their images. You can see in the image the little shadows.

Joe explains that these well placed elevated areas are what assist in keeping guests from spotting more than 3 or 4 trucks out on the safari despite the fact that several dozen may be out on the trail.

Among the challenges of designing the Kilimanjaro Safari was the reality of using live animals.

These animals are not going to be in precisely specified places at specific times. You could also not direct the guest to look at specific location. As a designer they could not be assured of where the focal point, the animal would be at specific times. Digital ride through technology was not in use at the time so the design team created 180 degree story board for each 5 seconds of the attraction.
