River Safari n Amazon River Quest


12 December 2013











Look at the tiny frogs. Can see or not ?



When we stepped in, the panda just climbed down from the tree..... draz......


Told the kid to open his eyes when taking pic and we get this cartoon look from him... haiz......









Long, long queue for the Amazon River Quest ride.
Some entertainment while waiting.


Eugene made friends with the kid queuing in front of us.
We queued for 2 hours !




We were very, very disappointed with the Amazon River Quest ride. It was ill conceived and gimmicky.

We just float down this narrow 'river' (as someone had commented, more like a canal) - think the 'lazy river' at our local swimming pool - have to see fast fast or you'll float past and the ride was all of about 6 minutes.

The only exciting part was when we got into the boat and a kind of elevator lifted up the boat to the next level to start the ride. Then there were about 3-4 downward splashes along the ride. It was fun but hey, if I want this kind of fun, I'll go to Disneyland.

The ride is at the moment free but if one have to pay extra for it, it is definitely not worth it at all.

The way it's been done, it's better that the management just do away with this ride unless they can come up with something better.

 Verdict on the Amazon River Quest ride : LAME








 Now back to River Safari..................................


 That's a tortoise. Very good camouflage ya.




Piranha!
I thought they would be put in a more spectacular display but alas.......
They were quite still,looking and waiting. Nice shimmery silver on their bodies.



Amazon Flooded Forest
Display concept exactly like the SEA Aquarium.




Otters



On our way home, we spotted a rainbow among the rain clouds.


River Safari is worth it.

Amazon River Quest - forget it.
