Rhino Rally at Busch Gardens Tampa, Tampa, Florida

Like The Jungle Cruise at The Magic Kingdom the dialogue from Rhino Rally's tour guide is pretty snarky.

The talk is amusing but the real reason to give Rhino Rally a ride is to get close up with the animals.

Even though Rhino Rally was not a coaster Mike really enjoyed it.

Of course on a ride named "Rhino Rally" you're going to see a rhino on it.

Rhino Rally is just a ride on one of these trucks. The ride used to be significantly longer with the rapids section that Cheetah Hunt now occupies as part of the ride. Like Rhino Rally is now you'd go and drive through the Serengeti to see the animals but at one point you'd cross a pontoon bridge that would end up floating (on a track) down the rapids. The rapids part of the ride really did not work as planned so after a while Busch Gardens closed Rhino Rally before recently reopening it rapids free.
