Theme park reporter Scott Gustin shared a Tweet announcing this exciting new development and progress on the upcoming attraction. Fans of the film Moana will recognize Te Fiti as the life-creating goddess who swiftly turns into Te Kā, a fiery demon, when her heart is stolen by the demi-god, Maui. After Moana restores the heart, Te Fiti returns to her forgiving, life-giving self.
