I'll admit, I'm a sucker for old trucks and buses

Because as a kid they're big and cool to me. Riding the school bus was the highlight of back and fourth to the place we hardly look forward to lol. I guess that's why AK's Kilimanjaro Safari is one of my favorate attractions. The trucks are custom GMC Topkick chassis with a 6.0(?) gas V8 (running propane) and that imfamous Allison 1st gear whine as the driver hauls butt to set the poachers into Warden Wilson's trap. Kinda reminds me of riding old school buses with that similar drivetrain combo. Those trucks have been replaced with Ford's Super Duty chassis trucks with 6.8 V10's (hence the "VWAAAAH" engine note) which they're cool too. 8-) Another favorate are the Disney Transportation buses, which used to have the RTS buses now have mainly Gillig lowfloors.
