I was at Amimal Kingdom not to long ago and the bridge was working just fine. I've never been on it while it has been broken.

SHH! You've said too much. :lol:

I always just end up using "Phew- looks like everyone crossed their fingers back there... Nice job guys!"

Only way to "override" it is by to set off a sensor by going too fast, and that's a no no.

Or the vehicle is too light... (think VIP or animal care)

if you are going to successfully complete the ride, at some point the truck will be all the way on the bridge...

Correct. Once you are completely on the bridge... it will run its show, assuming everything is operating normally and that no truck before you has done an override.

Was this referring to the dead antelope.gazelle/zebra carcass that was up in the trees at the start of the walking trail?

THANK WALT someone else remembers this!!!! I thought I was going nuts when no one knew what I was talking about!!! Is this where they put in the "new" animal display (monkey type creatures)? I remember they used to have hoof prints around it and I was looking for ever last time for them.

MAYBE they'll put some real elephants at the end of the ride. lol the first time I rode, I was like are you *%$*&$ kidding me? lol. It's cute though.

The only story line I think overdoes it a little is the kali river rapids. I want less story more rapids. :sohappy:

Don't worry, you weren't going crazy. Unlike the dead Big Red, I *do* have a pic of the dead animal carcass in the tree:

Deadanimalintree.jpg


It was at the VERY beginning of the Pangani Forest walking trail. It was in the empty stretch of path between the hut where you entered the trail, and the first viewing location on the left. 99.999% of Guests missed it because they were hurrying along the path to see the animals. But the "story" played out as a succession of footprints in the cement as you walked along the path:

First, there were separate prints of a gazelle (I'll call it an gazelle, not sure what it really was) and a lion crossing the path from one side to the other, apart from each other.
Then the next line of prints went back across the path showing the lion tracks following the gazelle.
Third set of prints were spaced out more, indicating that the gazelle and lion were running. These led to a spot in the bushes where there had apparently been a disturbance, because there was sort of a gap in the foliage.
Finally, the last set of prints was just the lion, but there were drag marks indicating that the lion was dragging the dead gazelle. These led straight to the tree in the photo, with the dead gazelle's carcass up in the tree.

Just one of those "hidden" things in the park that was put in there but most people never see.

The last time I walked the path (3-4 years ago), the prints were still there, but the dead animal had been removed. Since that time, I don't know if they've added anything where this was or re-did the walkway's cement. I'll be checking it out while I'm down there in a few weeks.

He did spend a fortune on animals, but there was a spike in demand for burgers and dogs. A company has to satisfy demand somehow.
