Awaiting use

Keeping up with a fleet of vehicles of any kind must be hard work. For the folks at Kali Rapids Expeditions, the host company of Kali River Rapids in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, keeping track of their floating fleet must be equally difficult. Arranged in the office are paintings of their rafts as well as a dispatch board with the locations of all of their boats. The problem? There are several rafts who either appear on the board, but not in a picture, or vice versa. For simplicity’s sake, here is a little diagram to show the problem.Throughout the office of Kali Rapids Expeditions nineteen raft names can be spotted. However, only ten of them appear in both art and on the dispatch board. Meanwhile, the dispatch board has five names that are not immortalized in art and there are four boats pictured that apparently have no location. Of the rafts that we do know the whereabouts of, there is some clever details as to their locations.

As for the posters that showcase the boats, in all of their glory, well,… I think I’ll let them speak for themselves.
