Some early history of the zoo. In the early 1960s, a group of local businessmen initiated the concept of a small community zoo. Known as the Columbia Zoo, the proposed facility was designed exclusively as a children’s zoo with a nursery rhyme theme. Funding restraints and other problems doomed the initial effort, but the concept of a zoo for the Midlands of South Carolina persisted. In 1969, the South Carolina General Assembly created the Rich-Lex Riverbanks Parks Special Purpose District, the legal and governing authority for what was ultimately to become Riverbanks Zoo and Garden. The seven-member Riverbanks Park Commission was established as the district’s governing authority. By creating Riverbanks as a Special Purpose District, the state legislature significantly expanded the Zoo’s support base. Richland and Lexington counties joined the city of Columbia as full partners in the budding Riverbanks project. Each of the three political entities appointed two members to the Commission, with the seventh appointed at-large. Approximately 100 acres of land on both sides of the Lower Saluda River and just outside of the city proper were leased to the commission by South Carolina Electric and Gas (SCE&G) for 99 years at $1.00 per year.

On the other side of the rocks there is a more traditional entrance to this area.

Let's take a look at the Adventure Boats: Blue Line that travel through this land. The boast arrive from the west where they pass under a pathway bridge as they enter this land.

Well, here we go I know the release of the new game is a ways off yet, but hey, I'm retiring in a few weeks and will time to add yet another project to my list. Riverbanks Zoo is a real zoo found about an hour or so from where I live. Its located in Columbia SC. My plan is to try and replicate the zoo as close to reality as I can. Especially because this zoo is growing and starting to build new enhanced habitats for the animals. My goal will be to replicate what's there, but also start to build out the enhancements from concept art and plans already released. I will start this thread with history of the zoo, details and plans of what I plan to build. Should be quite a challenge for a what is a real life medium sized zoo. There footprint covers two sides of a fairly wide river. The east side is where most of the old zoo resides. Pretty flat overall, but lots of habitats and exhibits, some of very unique design. There is a huge/long bridge that crosses the river. The west side is a steep incline up from the riverbanks. There used to be a trail and tram that switch-backed up the side through thick forest. Recently they opened a cable tram ride (very similar to what is at WDW) that now take you across and up the hillside. The top of the property has a large botanical garden, water splash area for kids, as well as a forest tree fort climbing adventure. Recent plans and the reason for the cable car is that the entire west hillside will be developed to a new Asia themed area where the tigers will reside along with red pandas, and other primates that you will walk by and under as you make your way back down the hillside walkways. Phew, this should be fun.

Man....that sulfur pool has to be one of the best builds I have ever seen in this game....and a very unique one of a kind item. wow.

There are two different entrance pathways into this area of the zoo. To the right there is a pathway that enters under a rock cave type scenery. The kids love going in through this way.

A small shop on the way off the wheel.

Another view looking down on this area.

Couple more shots of some support and food options along this path.

She is the Adventure entertainer....basically a female Indiana Jones-like character.

Looking down on the entrance area to this section of the zoo. You can enter from the main area of the zoo (arrow on the right), or from the big cat (snow leopards) ramp (arrow on the left).

Yet another great view of this section of the park from out on the lake.

And hey Wolfpaw....all the jest stuff that was going on about the name of this park last night....just curious....do you even know where the name Renee Feu is from or what it represents?
