I spoke to the gorilla keeper about the off show exhibits. They have closed of the really tall gorilla exhibit, Scottish wild cats, Samira's enclosure E Blizzard's snow leopard exhibit and more!!! I hate the changes.
For all the reasons given for PL's changes, I can't see why they've closed off the pavillion, especially when that's where the gorillas spend most of their time, it's barmy! Don't see why it couldn't have hurt to have the pedestrian path go the extra little distance around it (as looking at the new map, it seems to go past they're outdoor paddock).
I went to Port Lympne many years ago but at that time unfortunately I wasn't doing much photography so didn't record much of what i saw. Must get there the next time i'm in the UK
