5. Right side up

 

 

There are four dining rooms in the Pizzafari restaurant, with one being dubbed the Upside Down room. One of the animals in the mural is facing right side up - see if you can spot it.

2. A hand-made tree

 

 

The iconic Tree of Life is topped with more than 103,000 leaves, each of which was individually placed. There are more than 300 animals carved into the tree.

The base of the Tree of Life had to be very strong in order to withstand the hurricanes that regularly hit Florida. To provide the necessary strength, an old oil rig was installed as the base skeleton for the tree's trunk.

Walking across the bridge that goes over the Kali River Rapids. Does not activate the two pink elephants that squirt water at the riders. There are actually two buttons on the bridge. One for each pink elephant. When someone pushes the button the pink elephant that the button is connected to then squirts water at the riders. Best of all it cost nothing to push the button.It is also fun catching some unsuspecting riders off guard thinking they are safe. Then all of a sudden they get squirted by the pink elephant.

The showers near Dawa Bar no longer exist as they were taken down during the recent renovation/construction of the bar and the new Festival of the Lion King Theater area.
