Land Rover Ride in theme park!!!!!!
Hey All! For some that don't know, I grew up in Tampa Fl. I recently went back to visit and went to Busch Gardens Amusement Park. The theme for the Tampa park is AFRICA and that can be seen by a few decorations they have through-out the park to include these old gems...
They have a ride called "Rhino Rally" which features riding in modified Defenders
As guests enter the staging area, they learn they are going on a popular safari tour, known as the Rhino Rally, which holds an annual racing event where the safari trucks must race against each other with passengers on board to make it to the finish line. As guests walk through the staging area, they hear news reporters giving updated info on the race on the Rhino Rally radio.
Guests also pass a safari truck which has won the 10th annual Rhino Rally
After waiting, guests board the safari vehicles.
As guests board the vehicle the safari driver welcomes them and picks one of them to be their navigator, (I got to be the navigator)
whom they tell to look out for green and black poles which show them where to go.

As the safari truck starts driving, guests go past the start sign for the rally race followed by the truck going past an elephant ground.
The driver then warns guests to look out for African killer ducks as they pass the next area, followed by the truck passing by exotic animals and onto the rhino ground.
The truck then drops down and enters an alligator pond, with the driver warning guests to keep all arms and legs inside the vehicle during this time.
Soon, the vehicle is back on solid ground, but there are no green poles. Confused, the driver asks the navigator which way to go, since the path splits into left and right roads. Regardless of which path the navigator chooses, the driver always goes to the left. The right path is used when the water portion of the ride is down or in case of an emergency situation.
After turning left, the driver drives into a rainforest, then the truck reaches a bridge beside a huge waterfall, which becomes too powerful and breaks the bridge apart with the truck on it.
The truck then proceeds to float down a river on a piece of the bridge.
The driver gets upset at the navigator and quickly radios Rescue 1 to come get them. The truck then passes under another waterfall.
This one happens to soak guests in the back row. Soon, the driver finds Rescue 1 stuck due to a broken bridge.
As the truck reaches the broken bridge,
the current pulls it in and it stops just in time before plummeting down a waterfall. Thinking quickly, the driver notices a pathway in front of them, and tells guests to hope that it leads to safety.
Shortly after, the truck reaches the finish line and wins the race, as victory music plays loudly. The driver thanks guests for joining
