Thank you. I haven't been there since 1983!

You know, I feel bad for the people that got hurt, but you know, Busch Gardens, when you try to copy disney, that's what you get. Those Kilamanjaro Safari Jeeps never flipped!

Well just look at the two vehicles. The Ones at AK are constructed like moving trucks with the storage area replaced by bench seats and a covering. It's rather wide with a low center of gravity. The one at BG, even in pictures appears tall and thin which without a low center of gravity is just asking for trouble. Even still, I'd like to know how it happened considering these things run at a maximum speed of 25mph. BG has yet to release real details on the accident and will pretty much only say that it happened on the land portion of the ride.
This kind of accident has to be devastating for them considering how much hype they centered around this attraction. It's a real shame too, they where just beginning to resemble a real theme park.

Ask Herbie53 about this one, he rolled a car a few weeks ago at 30 miles an hour.

Indeed Eeyore is right. I know all too well that it is entirely possible to roll a vehicle over at 30 miles an hour. (But fear not, I remain unscathed.) My circumstances were out of the ordinary though (as if driving around with Rhinos is ordinary). When thinking about this accident (and not my own) one thought comes to mind. You just never know with Rhinos! Think on that for a little while.

I thought this was Walt Disney news and rumors

I saw this ride on the Discovery Channel- Extreme Rides. They use land Rovers for the ride. They looked very unblanced and i see why they flipped. They are little SUV's not trucks like at Disney.
