Don't get on this unless you enjoy watching the employee's cars as you chug along slowly to an isolated area with nothing to do in it. Also you have to queue up again to get back to the main part of the park. AVOID IT! 0/10 - D H

An ordinary train ride. You can sometimes spot animals in their holding areas. - Mostly Anonymous

Oh god did I dislike this attraction! It takes you from the main section of the park, to a small secluded part, that has very little to do at, and then in order to get back you have to wait in long lines to ride this thing again! - Tommy Nelson

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
