Help identifying old photos (south UK/Mid-atlantic USA)

I was going through old photos recently and found a bunch of zoo ones. Most I was able to identify, but my mom was never good at labeling and some I'm either not sure on or have no clue. I'd appreciate any help in IDing them!
In the UK, I lived in the Wiltshire area, so anything within 2 or so hours drive. I lived there from 1988-1994, with frequent trips back in the 1990s. In the USA, we lived in central NJ, so anywhere from DC in the south to MA in the north (had family in RI).

I think this is six flags:

Not sure if these are Six Flags or Longleat:

Southwick?

Brandywine?

I have no idea on these ones! The deer might be this really shady place that was near Cooperstown, NY.Unknown 1989.jpg Unknown 2003 deer.jpg Unknown clouded leopard.jpg

The last one is almost certainly Brandywine.

This one looks like London Zoo too, the concrete post at the side looks like the Big Cat Terraces
 
The first one is definitely Great Adventure. Those same girls still hang out at that same watering hole as the safari truck (instead of your vehicle) goes around that curve.

The next three are a little harder as things were different before they reconfigured the whole journey when the eliminated private drive-through. I'd say they all look like their fields, though.

The one with the sheep looks like it could be the Philadelphia Farm/Children's Zoo.
 
The 3rd picture shows Wapiti (Elk), which is not a species listed for Longleat, former or current, so should be Six Flags.
