There isn't much to look at on this train except the overnight holdings for the animals. The primary reason for this train is to transport guest to Rafiki's Planet Watch and back. Again do this only if you are on a relaxed schedule since getting on the train and touring Rafiki's Planet Watch and coming back takes about an hour or so to do. - Manny Barron

I enjoy this ride because of the end of the ride. The last time we got to see an adorable little owl getting a bath. We saw the vets preform surgery on a fish, and remove a small tumor which could have threatened the life of the fish if not removed. Where else can you actually see a fish put to sleep and operated on. Not many places. There is a petting zoo located out there. Yes the ride out and back is nothing to speak of but its a nice place to visit. - Melissa Faulkner

Nice train, well themed and relaxing, but not much to look at on your journey. Wouldn't really be worth riding as a standalone attraction. This is the only way I am aware of to get to Rafikis Planet Watch and the trip takes around 5 mins each way. - Emily Greaves

Leave the no sceenery trains for Six Flags!! You don't want this waisted space at a Multi-Million dollar resort... - Jason Jones
