Zufari - New for 2013

[ThorpeFanDan]

Here are plans we've all been thinking n=might happen, for the building of a safari trail, with themed vehicles, similar to Rhino Ralley, on Wanyama.

Well that's good news, and a long time coming if I'm honest.

[ThorpeFanDan]

Apparently they've been wanting it for a while now.

I wonder if they'll relocate some African animals from the trail of the kings and put them in new enclosures on Wanyama? There's space behind the current reserve where the more penned in animals could go, like lions, and then it could drive over the plain itself. This would leave room in the trail of the kings, which is nearer the park itself.

If done well this could be incredible.

I hope they move the lions their pen now looks horrible

[ThorpeFanDan]

I think aesthetically it's really nice, but it's tiny, it must be horrible to live in.

there the wrong type of lion and would need a large peice out of the area if the want bigger animals they would have to expand "BIG"

[ThorpeFanDan]

Wrong type of lion? I was just saying the enclosure looked nice, but it's too small for an animal like a lion?

That's what I'm saying, they have loads of room for animals where they can't put rides, namely, wanyama. They could put a lion enclosure in there which is big enough.

ok i meant chessington have asiatic lions were it would fit in if they were african lions im not saying get rid of them but they could put a cheetah in there fenced

[ThorpeFanDan]

Oh right. Nothing to say it couldn't me like a world tour safari, which would actually me an incredibly cool idea.

[coasterkid6]

im confused, put a cheetah in the old lion pen? thats way to small for one.

[ThorpeFanDan]

Cheetahs in a smaller enclosure.

yer cheetahs are much smaller and dan a nice idea but its african. aslo would need the expand if they were to get giraffes i no that was random my like before they need a large house im just helping with the sizes of the pens also what do u think the jumbos are going to replaced with i think bison/buffalo when in mexicana

Planning Documents have been added here - http://maps.kingston.gov.uk/isis_main/Im...No=1210008

All I can say is it looks incredible.

Some sketches of the ride

Looks fantastic!

Looks smart. With a ride like this the driver has to be a true entertainer like the ones on Rhino Ralley. They really did make the ride.
