| TPR Notes |
|
Mumbo Jumbo, Vertical Velocity and Kumali are three recent coaster installations that have improved the park's offerings. While these are not game changers from B&M or Intamin they do keep the locals very happy.
The park does one of the better jobs integrating its zoo with the rest of the park, including a couple of rides that get up close and personal with the animals.
The park has a selection of family friendly rides along with Fort Fun (obstacle course / play area) and a separate zone dedicated to rides for the youngest kids. | |
