Detroit company builds vehicles for all of the major theme parks

I assume the "safari ride at a theme park in Florida" refers to Kilimanjaro Safaris at Disney's Animal Kingdom, but what about those 192 modules being constructed for an upcoming "revolutionary" ride based on "one of the highest grossing films of all-time"? Would this fit with the rumored Soarin'-like ride system for Avatar?

I assume that they did the trucks at BGW as well for their safari ride.

Didn't Rhino Rally close recently? I remember the ride having its share of problems through the years.

I dunno, haven't been there since the summer. I recall they stopped doing the washout bridge stunt some time ago, presumably because of the wear on the trucks. (Disclaimer: I don't know one way or the other, just speculating.)
