Wood You Dare Ride the HimalAmazon Ride PosterHimalamazon the Ride

The ride is set sometime in the near future, where looming environmental disaster due to years of over harvesting in the Amazon forests have forced scientists to develop a Super-Tree that quickly generates desperately needed wood and life-giving oxygen. Super-Trees are grown in a simulated "super world" called "Himalamazon," where a uniquely developed combination of the attributes of the Himalayas and the Amazon has been created. The ride, which is described as a “roller-coaster with an ecological message,” follows the Super-Trees from seed toharvest.
