JoshC. Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Can't wait to see the queues Elmer will get being in a prominent location again. Rainforest is a nice idea for an area (should probably set up a new thread for that..) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 I think the Capybara may well be the spirit animal of judgemental park enthusiasts. They look alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello last spring. Surprised it wasn't mentioned after this post, but the theming element is no longer missing although you'd be hard pressed to notice it wasn't. Really, it is tiny sitting atop this ride, the scale is all wrong. It just looks bizarre, with some big sort of padding thing below it and a relatively tiny motif on top. The base has colourful stones in sections, but this is full of detritus from the trees so just looks messy. The ride itself is also quite broken, with a couple of elephants (including the yellow one I found myself on) very obviously not able to make it more than a couple of feet off the ground. When small but IP led retheme investments are this bad you know something is deeply wrong at the heart of what is happening here.

But I watched a couple of cycles from truckers and my elephant was just not much of a flyer regardless of who was on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Han30 Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 I love the new colourful elephants and the soundtrack but realistically you can’t polish a turd and the ride is pretty ancient now. Kind of gutted that it is in a more open area now - I used to like sneaking onto it on quiet days without getting shameful looks when it was behind Rameses. Back in 2019 I dragged my niece and her friend on it because it had no queue. Yes I’m sad but I like to pretend I’m back at Disneyland on their Flying Dumbo ride 🤣 Years ago I once queued FORTY FIVE minutes because my niece who was little (she’s now 17) desperately wanted to go on it - I lost the will the live slightly in that queue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
