The entrance to
Timbuktu is a blindingly white mud fort, which
has a walled area that surrounds three rides that
are guaranteed to make you lose your lunch. There
is also a video arcade and numerous games of
chance, a carousel and various kiddie rides, the
Dolphin Theatre and the Festhaus, (a little piece
of Germany).
Sandstorm
The constant rotation of both your seat and the
arm to which it attached on this 2 ½ minute ride
is likely to make you a dizzy dude.
SCORPION
This looming steel roller coaster is twisted into
a gigantic 360-degree loop with a 65-foot drop
and reaches speeds of 50mph. A 2-minute ride with
a minimum height restriction of 42".
Phoenix
The Phoenix swings back and forth, like a Magic
Carpet sort of ride, then goes higher and higher,
until it swings sickeningly over the top, without
the aid of a safety net, (or a sick bag). Ride
duration of 2-minutes is a long time with your
eyes closed, and there is a height restriction of
48".
Crazy Camel
A delightful carousel upon which brightly painted
camels stand alongside traditional horses. Nearby
are games of chance from basketball, to fishing
with a magnet, as well as a pint-sized version of
the Phoenix.
Dolphin Theatre
A 20-minute show with two dolphins named Mick and
Bud as they jump and wave their flippers. One
lucky child gets to go up and play with them. The
theatre is modelled on the one at SeaWorld, but
does not have the luxury of Plexiglas sides so
you can see beneath the water. This is a good
show to see in the middle of the day when the
other animals in the park are sleeping in the
heat.
