Theme Park Insider readers offer their ratings and reviews for Rhino Rally, a track ride at Busch Gardens Tampa. (The minimum height to ride is 39 inches.)

Rhino Rally is the world’s boldest off-road safari and wild river adventure. The attraction transports 17 guests aboard a customized Land Rover offering extreme terrain, up-close animal encounters and an unexpected raging river thrill ride. The "river adventure" portion of this attraction closed for good in June 2010 to make way for a new roller coaster that is being built to open in spring 2011. It is rumored that Busch Gardens will be expanding the remaining land portion of the ride to compensate for the river portion being closed. There is no complete confirmation as to if and when the expansion will take place.

Waste of time. I seen 2 animals and waited 40 minutes. Don't bother as they cut out a lot of the safari and the drivers are depressing. 1/10 - D H

Tedious line, for a rather short safari. The safari part was quite good with nice animal views, but I missed the fun part where the car rides down the river. In view of the slow loading I really wouldn't bother with it again. - Martin Rees

The water portion is likely permanently removed as a result of the new attraction going up, but I thought it was worth the ride anyway. Enjoy some silly humor with the driver and get some good views of the animals in the savanna. - Carl Stovall

Fun ride, even if the driver's are annoying. Nice views.... - Andy Milio

Ride part is better than average safari (due to river ride) but animal viewing is limited. - Joseph Easter

Fun ride, when we rode this in November the water part of the ride was included and really added to the experience. The views of the animals are not as good as elsewhere in the park, but the combination of the animals with a fast and jerky safari and water section really works. - Emily G

8/10. It's fun but the water portion of the ride is always cut out now. - Nicholas Gammon
