Originally Posted By sherrytodd The AK park map doesn't show enough detail to see it, plus it is covered up with "Oasis" on the map. It is toward the center. I believe they typically have macaws near the bridge entrance. Walking from the entrance, look for the bridge. Walking from the park toward the exit, look for the cave. There's two entrances to the cave.

Originally Posted By bobbelee9 Thanks, I was there last July, but I'm not a EE rider, so didn't get beyond Kali River. I'm sure we'll get that way next year when my daring daughter gets her husband and b-in-law on EE. There's a beautiful shot of EE from the bridge as you cross over from the Oasis to Discovery Island. Really pretty, but as close as I want to get to it.

Originally Posted By bobbelee9 Thanks Nikki, I would love to do Splash & Thunder Mts, just to see them, like do a walk through. I saw the Yeti on tv the other day, looked so real. I'm sure I'd like to do a walk through of EE too. Funny, but as a kid I use to go on roller coasters with my mother. But after becoming a mother, I can't do them, my stomach does flip flops just thinking about them. I've no problem with my kids riding them though, so it's not a disaster fear for me it's the puking fear.

Originally Posted By NikkiLOVESMickey bobbelee, as I get older I find I can't handle to coasters as well as when I was younger. I enjoy EE, but I usually feel pretty "green" for a few minutes afterwards.
Originally Posted By bobbelee9 The first time my son went on Thunder Mt he was 5, his sister said she never saw anyone actually turn green before that. The second time he went on it, the same year, she told him to scream, it worked. A few years ago she took her 5 year old on Splash Mt, and gave her the same advice. It worked on her and she's ready to ride EE next trip, she'll be 9 then. I enjoy watching them get off the ride.
