2/24/24: All 3 machines are in same locations and rolling perfectly. SLW 06/04/26: There are now only 2 machines in the zoo.
The machine in the zoo gift shop is now a zinc machine with different designs from machine 8 which I've marked as retired.
The other machine in the rain forest was out of order so I didn't pay to go into the zoo.
It's free to go to the gift shop.
I don't know if the new machine in the gift shop is really machine 9 or a new machine 10 so I'm not changing anything at this time.
Parking is $6 / 2 hrs. First 15 minutes are free. JLT
