Have not been here since I was a child growing up in the Bronx (about 40+ years) and I came with my granddaughter to experience the change I heard so much about. Wow! It was amazing! Nice to have so much shady areas along walk paths unlike the old days where the sun just beat down on you. The trails and monorail were amazing! ONLY complaint not the fault of the park is the out of control kids with their chaperones that don't keep any control! We tried to go when we thought we could avoid it but no such luck. Animals behaved more civilized than the kids that went there.
