==Attraction History==
The original plans for the Asia expansion in Animal Kingdom called for an Asian safari ride to counterbalance the [[Kilimanjaro Safaris]] in Africa. In order to differentiate the attraction however, Imagineers decided to make the ride a rafting safari. The attraction, which was called the Tiger Rapid Run, would have been similar to Walt Disney's original concept for the [[Jungle Cruise]]. Guests would have boarded large yellow rafts which would be held together in groups. As guests floated through the Asian jungles, they would observe animals such as the Indian Rhinoceros, the Asian Elephant, the Asian Antelope and various other creatures. Other scenes on the attraction were to include an Indian palace, a scene depicting vicious deforestation, and the finale which called for the rafts to separate from each other before sending guests down thrilling white water rapids.
