	Dinoland U.S.A.				Dinoland U.S.A. is themed as a carnival in a parking lot (not exactly Disney's best work).
Walt Disney World's third variation of the Dumbo ride, Triceratops Spin >		Primeval Whirl is a stock spinning wild mouse coaster >		An area of games in the middle of Dinorama (very un-Disney) >
	< the giant top theme is cute		< Primeval Whirl is two side by side identical coasters		< It's a fun family ride, but very generic
Apparently this is Disney's version of Six Flags >		At least it's a colorful area >		The scenery is cute, but hardly up to Disney standards >
	< Dinosaur is an OK ride, but once again not Disney's finest		< The "rundown roadside" look of the area is kind of weird		The scenery adds something to the coaster, but not much

	< Kali River Rapids		< The 12 person boats have central storage bins		< These huge bats are my favorite part of the Jungle Trek
See the Expedition Everest Construction Pics Page		< Elephants shoot water on the riders as they approach the station		The tigers are easy to view through the glass >
			< The park's signage is really well done, evoking the feeling of the represented areas		< All of the signs have a great weathered look
		Africa is home to the Kilimanjaro Safari, the park's premier attraction which I found disappointing >		Rafiki's Planet Watch feels like an afterthought, and really doesn't have much to see or do >
	Africa		< In a VERY un-Disneylike move, there is a bar in the African restaurant		< The only way to and from Rafiki's Planet Watch is by train
		More great signage >		The architecture of Africa looks very authentic >
	< Camp Minnie Mickey is the most under-developed section of an overall under-whelming park		< Once again, the details are great, in an otherwise dull park		< Camp Minnie Mickey is home to two shows and multiple character meeting spots
