Animal Kingdom safari

The third Disney park over in Orlando is a crossover of Zoo, safari and theme park. Their latest attraction is a roller coaster which takes its visitors on a trip through the Himalaya to encounter the infamous Yeti. Indeed very well made and the only attraction with a longer queue in the entire park. Except of course the two girls sitting behind me and screaming 'oh my god... oh my god' the entire time!

But even wandering through the park was good fun as it is separated into different parts of the world like Asia (with Nepal, Tibet and India) and Africa. Again everything is well themed and looks like the real deal... as much as I can tell because I never went there... yet ;-) On the other hand I think that most of the audience was never there too... so it worked for us :-)

But of course I was there for the animals so I booked my very own safari which was great fun as well. The main different here was that the safari was embedded in an entire story about our imaginary ranger hunting down some poacher and taking us from waterhole to waterhole in the process. Again very well made and a good chance to see elephants, rhinos and other animals from up close.

Speaking about animals... the last ride I took was in the dinosaur part of the park and presented you alive dinosaurs from up close...

I guess dinosaurs are animals as well... somehow. Oh well, still I had a great time over there as you can see :-)
