For thirty eight years the entrance plaza has been welcoming carloads of guests into the Wild Safari. The toll booths created eight lanes for traffic entering the park and setting the mood with its rustic style. With the incorporation of the Wild Safari into the theme park for 2013 and the introduction of the Safari Off Road Adventure attraction, the final cars passed through the plaza on September 30, 2012.
