OK, continuing some of my idea, I thought I might try something a little different from my previous post. This one is a thrill ride based on the Lion King called Pridelands Safaris. You begin your adventure by entering a safari lodge, which includes the queue. Near the end you enter an area in which a movie is show. In it, your "guide" tells you a little about what you'll see, including information about the environments and animals you will encounter. The big news is that a large rock formation which they believe to be home to a pride of lions (actually Pride Rock from the film) has been found and you're going to see if there are any lions around. You leave and enter your safari jeep (a vehicle similar to those on DINOSAUR or Indiana Jones Adventure) and head out on a bumpy ride through Africa. You first pass a watering hole, which is home to a variety of audio-animatronic animals, including Timon and Pumbaa, as well as Rafiki in his tree. You next enter the dark and spooky Elephant Graveyard where you are chased by Hyenas. When you finally escape, you find yourself right in the way of the Wildebeest stampede while the evil Scar looks on. You car stalls in front of the stampeed but starts up again and swerves out of the way. You finally reach Pride Rock where Mufassa, Simba, and other lions can be seen. You then exit through the obligatory gift shop. What do you think?
