I will say this, however: I watched an old home movie from the early 70's that my Dad made there, and you could see Lions, rhinos, elephants and other very dangerous animals just walking around lose. We knew to stay in our car, that's for sure! I doubt today's generation has the same common sense. You can see how slow they walk across intersections, for example...as though they are made of armor! But back to the subject at hand, Lion Country safari had two of my favorite african type rides..."african auto trek", which was a jeep ride (on a track) through a jungle, with fake animals jumping out at you, and the "zambezi river ride:, which was a jungle boat cruise. A close observation of wild rivers in irvine will reveal some remnants of this awesome theme park!
