Attractions & Entertainment
Save the Rainforest
The Brazilian Animal Research Group whose focus is to help save the rainforest and help endangered species of the Amazon, founded by Blue, Jewel, and Linda have set up a theatre on a Brazilian Street. This screen show combined with animatronics teaches their guests about saving the rainforest. An animatronic Blu, Jewel and Linda. This show teaches guests about the rainforest issue where humans keep cutting down trees and killing off animal species to build homes for themselves and how they are selfish. This education show has a lot of humor to it, as Linda makes science jokes that only she thinks is funny and Blu says a comeback that is actually funny. Also, things go wrong, for example the clicker thing for the slideshow breaks, and the screen falls down, etc. This show is perfect for all ages.
Rainforest World
Apart of a science and research center, the Brazilian Animal Research Group creates a simulated rainforest in a building to help study species of the Amazon, as well as help them from predators and the dangers of the rainforests. Throughout the rainforest, there are chainsaws and evidence of humans cutting trees throughout to emphasize the environmental message more. This is your classic zoo exhibit with birds. Throughout the path that goes through the simulated jungle, there are workers from this science group there to answer any questions you have about the animals.

This suspended family coaster flies you around the rainforest. The entire ride is outdoor. You see many animatronic birds and other Brazilian animals throughout the ride. Their is no major story to this ride. It is mostly a roller coaster through a rainforest filled with animals. The front car is Blu the bird, and then there are baskets attached to the back of Blu that you sit in. The onride speakers are playing happy jungle music, with some commentary from Blu. Once the roller coaster part is done, you go slowly over a cut-down rainforest. The music gets less darker and a little frightening. There are chainsaws, piles of trees, cranes, building machines, etc. Stranded in the middle of it all, is a mom jaguar with three babies. They are animatronic. They look lost and stranded. You then go back into the Jungle and then to the loading platform.

Whew!!! I'm done!
Funny story, I had "The Golden State" area done today at around 9pm. I read through it and I was like "this is really bad, but whatever". Then my computer died and wouldn't turn back on and my work was lost. So... now I'm on my phone and I just decided to start from scratch.
Haha... Now let me get 5 1/2 hours of sleep for school tomorrow! Gotta love life!
