Has anyone on the forum been to this place? I'm actually wondering how the non-zoo theme park rides are, I do enjoy a good roller coaster now and then and was wondering how it ranks next to Busch Gardens/DAK (I'm guessing pretty poorly?)

I finally made it there this weekend. Think of it as Busch Gardens lite. We did not do the coasters, but they looked fine. I believe they are all vekoma coasters and the people riding them seemed to have fun. The other rides were all pretty standard amusement park type rides, nothing majorly exciting. We did not get to ride the Tasmanian River Rapids, but it looked pretty unique for a water rapid ride. Overall it is not comparable to Busch, but you could easily spend the day here (and we did) between the rides, animals, and water park.
