Looks Like Kali River Rapids Will Be Reopening on March 17, 2023
We’ve got some exciting news for fans of Kali River Rapids at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. According to the refurbishment schedule posted on disneyworld.com, the attraction will be opening on March 17, 2023.
For those unfamiliar, Kali River Rapids is located in the Asia section of Animal Kingdom and is the definitely the one attraction at Walt Disney World that lives ups to its name as a wet ride!
You’ll skim across an erupting geyser, be whisked along fast-moving rapids and graze gushing waterfalls. The ride culminates in a dramatic 20-foot slope!
As you can see from the image above taken from disneyworld.com, the ride officially closed on January 9, 2023 and the website advises that the ride isn’t expected to open until mid-March.
Because of the fact that most guests will get wet on this ride, it’s not uncommon for Kali River Rapids to close each year during the coldest months. This is the perfect time for routine maintenance on the attraction as its typically too cold to ride.
Though the Kali River Rapids page still keeps the re-opening vague saying Mid-March,
However, the refurbishment schedule listed under Walt Disney World’s business hours calendar, you can see that on March 16, 2023, Kali River Rapids still appears under refurbishments.
When we look ahead on the calendar to the next day Friday, March 17, 2023 we can see the the refurbishment information for Kali River Rapids is missing.
This leads us to conclude that March 17th is the day that Disney World will reopen the Kali River Rapids attraction.
If you’re lucky enough to be at Walt Disney World in Mid-March than pop over and give it a ride! Lockers for mobile devices and other essentials are found adjacent to the ride entrances. If you don’t want to get wet, be sure to bring a poncho!
