It's like living in the shadow of an older brother. The San Diego Zoo is world-renowned; it's done amazing things over the years. We don't want the park to falter, to get behind the times.

We don't have to rush. The train will still operate, still give guests a good experience. It is more important to do it right.

These big spaces, the authentic spirit. We want to make sure that is maintained. We don't want to disrupt the character, but we need to give people new things to do.

It will make it a different experience every time you visit. Right now, you can go from point A to point A. We want to have more versatility, more variety, to go from Point A to Point B to C to D.

Creating some humor, creating some fun to energize people was our intent.

We had no way of predicting it would be taken out of context, but again, understanding that it was, we're sorry if that was the case, and that's why we chose to no longer run it.
