It was there for the WDI previews and parties and several Eisner visits and cast previews but I think it was removed
before the Grand Opening day.

It was similar to the Jumping Carno hot spit effect just having the Mama drooling over you when it swooped down on you.
"several functions turned off"? refers to each AA figure has various functions like Head Nod, Head Turn, Pelvis, Wrist Twist, etc. some AA figures have 20 or so fuctions and some have over 40, so if they have some problems with actuators or rotacs they just turn off that certain function instead of repairing it.

I really don't feel that things like that count as maintenance issues/declining by degrees. I don't really count the netting on the Iguanadon either as the only documented video I've seen of that was on Martin's video and if I'm not mistaken it was using a temporary narration as well.
This type of thing though is what shouldn't be cut.

Hey Everybody, if you were to ride Kilimanjaro Safaris today, you might see something there that wasn't there before.
I'll give you a hint, they're black with White stripes, not the other way around!

How many different species of zebra are in the new habitat? I believe I had read that they were going to start out with Plains Zebras?

The Zebra exhibit has opened with 11 Grant's Zebras. They also have two Grevy's Zebras but from what I'm told they won't be joining the new herd as was rumored.
It has officially opened as of October 23rd.
The Storyline is that you are going on a photo-safari through the Harambe Wildlife Reserve. Warden Wilson Retired earlier this year.
The area is great, the water features have been transformed into bubbling brooks and small waterfalls rather than shooting geysers.

We were there last weekend and the Zebras were added and in the script. They were actually blocking the road for us since there were so many.
The idea is now that you're on a photo safari and you're to have your camera ready at all times. The bridge was working for us so it's one of the few times that line in the script made sense.

Are Grant's Zebras the same thing as Plains Zebras? I believe the Disney Parks Blog said that Plains Zebras would be the first ones in the new exhibit

Grant's is a subspecies of plains. And yes, the bridge has returned after an eight-ish month hiatus.

Glad to hear about the bridge. Last January, I took a 73 year old friend on his first WDW trip. He has lived a very sheltered life (practically Amish lifestyle) and I wasn't sure how he would react to the experience. After we exited Kilimanjaro Safari, he turned to me and said, "I thought that Disney would take better care of their property. Do you think they know that bridge is about to collapse?".

I didn't want to start a thread on this, but for the first time in a long time that I've experienced the old bridge shook and tilted with our truck on board.
Does anyone know if this is uncommon? Because again, in the many times I've gone to AK in the past few years it hadn't happened to me (except when I was much younger) until today.

It happens about 50% of the time for me.

It always happens on the bridge when someone gets up to use the restroom at the back of the bus.

It happens more often than not when I ride, probably at least 80% of the time.

Happened for me a few weeks ago. The CM mentioned it was an old bridge as we drove across. I don’t think we went slowly over it last year
