Animal Kingdom only opened in 1998 but it made a contribution to Walt Dated World before the park even officially opened! The slaughtered "Big Red" elephant in Kilimanjaro Safaris was removed after complaints during park previews. Another part of the safari that has gone to Walt Dated World is the gun-toting cast member who used to tell passing safari vehicles that "Little Red's OK!". The cast member later held a walkie-talkie before being removed for good. The poacher story line was removed completely from the attraction in 2012.
Conservation Station: Renamed Rafiki's Planet Watch in October of 2000. The Out of the Wild shop lasted there from Opening Day until January of 2022.
Disney KiteTails: A show featuring kites and wind catchers in the Discovery River Amphitheater. It premiered October 1, 2021 and lasted until September 20, 2022.
Flights of Wonder: A show in Asia that featured birds performing behaviors, including the singing parrot Groucho. It closed December 31, 2017 and was replaced by UP! A Great Bird Adventure.
Journey Into The Jungle Book: This was the very first show performed at the Theater in the Wild from 1998-1999. It was replaced by Tarzan Rocks.
Pangani Forest Exploration Trail: The Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail was changed to this name in July of 1998. In May of 2016, the name was changed back to Gorilla Falls.
Primeval Whirl: A spinning coaster in the Chester & Hester's Dino-Rama! area that opened on April 18, 2002. There were two coasters side by side that mirrored each other. Each coaster was themed as a "time machine" and spun past dinosaur cutouts. The coaster only operated seasonally in 2019 and closed in 2020. The attraction name is probably a tribute to the Primeval World diorama at Disneyland.
Safari Village (Includes shop locations)
Tusker House (format): An Opening Day table service restaurant that switched to buffet service in November of 2007.
UP! A Great Bird Adventure: This bird show replaced Flights of Wonder and featured Russell the Wilderness Explorer and Dug the dog. It premiered April 22, 2018 and was replaced by Feathered Friends in Flight in 2020.00
