TTP Review:

Miss Hippo's Fungle Safari is one of Thorpe Park's older rides, being installed just after Mr. Monkey's Banana Ride and Chief Ranger's Carousel. Riders sit in cars, being taken around the meandering course. You can watch the scenery of trees and big models of old Thorpe mascots (such as Miss Hippo), or you can beep the huge horn on the front of the car, to annoy everyone else on the ride!

Miss Hippo's was actually longer than it is now, but had to be made shorter due to the construction of Nemesis Inferno. However, it is still a nice ride, and will be enjoyable to all of childkind. It's even quite fun for adults, too!

Miss Hippo's Fungle Safari is a nice, gentle ride. It's perfect for youngsters and adults alike, and is even good for older families for a break after a ride on, say, Stealth. It's rich with the old Thorpe charm - lovely.
