Pangani Forest Exploration Trail returning to its original name

[Matt_Black]

Another video has been circulating online of a four year old boy who fell in a gorilla enclosure and no lethal measures were required. Harambe's death was a result of poor judgment on the part of both the parents and the zoo staff.

You seriously blaming the gorilla for this?

Nope, not at all. Don't want to derail this thread, just an unfortunate coincidence on timing as I stated.

 

[RSoxNo1]

That would be appropriate.

The Maharaja Jungle Trek is much more exciting.

I definitely disagree. Pangani has the better animal lineup.

Any updates on the Japanese Macaques coming to Maharajah?

CTX was catchy, but, CTE would have worked too.

They couldn't call it CTE, because the NFL and ESPN deny it's existence #Synergy.

Sorry, but why would you not????

And they are right, it is probably caused by sunspots or perhaps listening to politicians. #alwaysbraindead

I suppose it's super boring if you don't like animals?

I do, fried grilled boiled or flamed, Im not too fussy.

He was put in captivity, then shot dead because the enclosure was badly designed.
Seems to me humans are to blame on all accounts.

I love both Pangani and Maharajah and spend a lot of time there, especially the aviaries. I am OK with less people in the trails. But most just rush through them and do not really see or appreciate all that they have, IMO. All of the detail is amazing. I don't really have an opinion on the name change other then it will probably bring in more people.

I definitely disagree. Pangani has the better animal lineup.

Maharajah has the better set-up though.

I prefer the Gorilla Falls name!

Wish they'd next drop the 'Exploration' bit from the name. Names don't need to be a lengthy exposé of subject matter. ('Peter Pan Movie Fly-Through', 'It's a Small World Colourful Puppets Leisure Cruise')

Names aren't neutral. This change might result in attracting more people to the trail, who now spend more time at the gorilla part and less time at the rest of the walk.

Maharajah has the better set-up though.

Yes, better theming, not as strong an animal lineup.

I prefer being face-to-face with tigers through a glass wall, not to mention the theming. But I do walk both trails because there isn't much else to do anyway.

Sorry, I have almost no inside knowledge of DAK except for the Rivers of Light show.

 

[No Name]

They got sick of too many people walking down and expecting to be rewarded with a sandwich at the end.

LOL.

The Maharajah Jungle Trek is much more exciting.

I wonder what people might expect to be rewarded with at the end of that one.

Unless we have video proof that the Gorilla climbed up and swooped the kid into the enclosure, than no, it's absolutely not the Gorilla's fault. Even if that happened (which it didn't), it's actually still on the zoo for not providing a safe enough viewing area.
