On Saturday (April 22) Tava's Jungleland opened!!! I have to say, I enjoyed it quite a bit and spent over 2 hours in it! I was able to get on Congo Queen, Jungle Jeeps, and Nairobi Lookout Balloons. I was on the first cycle of Congo Queen for the public. They only allow 8 adults on the ride per cycle. The Balloons are also fun to spin. Frog Hopper is fun to watch, but I wasn't able to get on... yet.
Most of the time we played in the play structure. The top slide is fun to swing in and when you get to the curly part, you hit it very hard and it shakes the entire slide. There is an operator at the top of the tower making sure that kids that are too small don't slide down and that they wait until the next kids get out of it. There are two smaller slides that are unmonitored and if you swing into them you can get rubber rash. There are several musical instruments, two find the pictures, two periscopes, two skill things with little balls, several rope bridges, and a fake hamburger grill!!! So if you see some kid trying to sell "hamburgers" to all the little kids running around, that's probably me...
Oasis was running but mostly to get the water jets unclogged. It was pretty cold that day, but I still ran through it. The other rides were closed but should be opening soon.
They haven't added any animals yet, but will be adding some in the opening sign supports which double as cages and around the Jeep Tours. There will be camels next to the jeeps and it goes close enough that the animals could potentially bite or spit at the kids. It is a very nice addition to the park especially for the younger set but I still had fun.
