So going by this years park map, the Veteran Cars are going to be receiving a safari theme. The map shows various animals dotted around the ride, with the ride cars donning a safari style theme.
It's great that the Veteran Cars are finally going to receive a set 'theme', as oppose to random classic car/sea creature theme it's had since 2005!
Would somebody be a darling and get a snippet from the map?

Well that's a nice little extra, (like last year's small re-theme of Rattlesnake)
Be good to see this cleaved up a bit , but I will miss the bright single coloured cars lol

Yeah, I think so but re-painted, possibly the cars will be re-done and it might even have a new name.
I doubt there will be any major changes to the track itself (a tunnel, or hedges) but maybe. If they really wanted to they could have a pretty decent ride here than the scruffy, tired old thing that have now.

looks ok. I can't really see much as all the pictures are close ups. The cars look good, shame no trunks are on the roof like on the map. The animals look good although it would have been nice to see the hippo in a bit of water. a bit of landscaping would have been nice, just to give it s bit of a journey. Does anyone know if the station is changed at all?
The cars do look a little disappointing. Just painting every car beige with some army style spray paint would have been neat.
Ultimately it all boils down to the budget that they had for this. If they had of gone for a full blown retheme, then yeah, some landscaping would be good. Lots of bamboo plants to hide what's around the corner etc, and sound effects for each animal.
It looks alright, hard to tell what they've done with it from those photos (not sure why they need to put a box in front of the it) But other than a car in the quick sand looks like it's just filled with those old animals. Still, looking a lot tidier that the previous versions.

Amidst the disappointment of my trip to the Hills, the Safari retheme of the Veteran Cars impressed me, it was better than I was expecting it to be. I was mainly impressed with the new look of the ride station:
Could maybe do with more animals and more bushes as it's all a bit flat at the mo. And they could do with the gardener paying a visit as it looked a bit messy, but that's probably due to the time of year.
But there were quite a few speakers dotted around, playing atmospheric music and animal sounds, so it was pretty neat.

What is the thing on the right laying between the two trees? An inflatable doll?
Just checked Aladdin's cave pics and you're right, there is one hanging on a tree!! I hadn't noticed that before, must be left overs from the Chills event. Interesting that they are still left out though
It's quite a habit at the park. Easter 2008 i found this in the mini railway tunnel. There was a bat hanging up as well. Might have a photo of that somewhere.
Yeah they've always been pretty poor at putting the Halloween stuff away. In fact, Tales of the Coast kept all it's Halloween tat since it was Tales of the Haunted Coast.
But regardless of that, in my pic of the Safari ride, that isn't a left over from the Chills, I visited during the Chills!
