Overhead nets removed from around the Tree of Life at Disney's Animal Kingdom

The overhead nets that were covering large sections of the queue around the Tree of Life at Disney's Animal Kingdom have been removed.

Following an incident back in 2012 where a section of branch fell into the queue area out of operating hours, overhead canopies and nets were installed throughout much of the queue area.

The recent near 2 month-long refurbishment of the Tree of Life has now rectified the situation, and the nets and canopies have been removed from the queue over the past week.

I'm not sure this is wise on Disney's part. When the next branch breaks off and hurts someone, this is going to make the case for negligence easier to win.

Fantastic News! The nets really took away from viewing the Tree of Life.

Good for tdo. I can't help but feel the only reason it got fixed was for the upcoming supposed update to the tree for the rivers of light finale.

So... branch falls in April of 2012... Disney finally fixes Sept of 2014. 29 months... impressive! http://www.miceshots.com/usr/72/DatelineDisneyWorld09162014-_DSC6943.jpg I am happy tho they finally got around to doing it.. and the fact they actually had to remove the nets suprises me they did this.. but maybe the park getting those larger expansions brings some hope they will finally address those lingering issues. Gotta believe there is at least HOPE for the yeti.. at least a redone yeti

Great news! There were still nets up in the ITTBAB queue on Sunday and they really did spoil the views of the Tree of Life. Glad to see they're completely gone.
