Review:
Mr.
Monkey's Banana Ride is a small Swinging Ship themed to a banana.
It's smaller than most ships found in other Parks, but is still
fairly thrilling for the young.
Riders
seat themselves in the boat, and it swings from side to side,
getting higher and higher with each swing. The themeing is good,
with "Mr. Monkey"
sitting on top of the "logs" holding up the "banana".
The ride plays cheerful music, which will please the younger ones,
and quite often you will find a funny ride operator running the
ride, which gives this ride that extra touch of sparkle.
Mr.
Monkey's Banana Ride is a good ride, but don't queue too long
for it if you're not under 10 years old. Mr
Monkey's is perfect for people that want to go on something more
thrilling than the Octopus Garden rides, but don't want to venture
out on to the likes of Nemesis Inferno. It's
definitely one for the parents to go on with their young children.
Having said that - many parents feel quite nauseous after riding
Mr Monkey's!
Positives:
Nicely
integrated with the foliage and Ranger County surroundings.
One
of the more thrilling rides for younger guests.
Will
certainly generate that stomach-in-your-mouth feeling!
