Wild Kingdom Train
Some of the exhibits such as the Siberian tiger, zebras, Fallow Deer and the kangaroos, can be seen from various paths within the park. The buffaloes currently can only be seen from out side the park along the Lagoon Trail. All of the exhibits except for the buffaloes can be seen from the train.
The ride has three steam powered engines named Houston and Merriweather (although only 2 are operational). Guests board the train at the train station located on the South Midway of the Lagoon Amusement Park. The train travels clockwise around a lagoon. The tracks go through a tunnel, past the various exhibits and the ride ends back at the train station.
