My guess is the civil war in Congo forced their hand in shying away from using "Terror in the Congo". The war broke out in '97, right around the time KD would have been putting the ride marketing together.
What a shame that show never came into fruition. It sounds spectacular. (Although I suppose it all would have been lost now, anyways...).
Also, this is further evidence that the park did originally plan for the enormous Lost World waterfall to be used for Volcano too. Again, a shame it was never used, but it would all be in the past at this point.
