Gwazi
Two rides intertwined, this mammoth creation is part lion, part tiger. The lion spirals like a coaster. The tiger travels like a bobsled on a slalom. A massive wooden coaster, Gwazi is large and fast, racing at speeds of 100 mph with six record breaking fly-bys. Try one or try them both…if you dare!
Cheetah Chase
Move with cheetah speed on this five story family coaster. Tight curves and hairpin turns add to the excitement as you make your way through Timbuktu. Filled with fun and amazing views of the Park below, this coaster is a high flying adventure with a playful side; just like the cool cat it is named for.
Jungala
From an orangutan habitat in the treetops to subterranean caves in a tiger's lair, the many layers of Jungala bring you eye-to-eye with two of the world's most endangered species - tigers and orangutans. But that's not all! Flying foxes, Gharials and Gibbons also await.
Katonga
Journey deep into Africa with this musical celebration of animal folklore. Traditional stories, puppet design and mesmerizing choreography create an entertainment masterpiece. Enjoy elegant stage design, rich songs and the journey of aspiring storytellers as they train to become masters of the ancient art.
