It's being on a hill and there is no actual 'circular' path .. and you have to back track a lot... AND THEY were going to open the new area soon (which of course was FURTHER up the hill.. ha)

Last time I was there the chimps got into a big scuffle and they had to send people away. We came up a short time later.. and one chimp was still throwing one of the toys around... fussing to high heavens.

Oh and the 'carnival rides' are kind of fun!
