‘Festival of the Lion King’ theater emptied for Pandora ride queue

“Festival of the Lion King,” a beloved fan-favorite show, did not re-open when Disney’s Animal Kingdom did back in July. The building was presumed to have been in a state of limbo, waiting for the show to begin again. Instead, it appears that the show building has been emptied to be temporarily used as a ride queue for Avatar Flight of Passage.
