(OTC:GFAM), a company focused on buying and managing profitable
theme parks and themed amusement attractions, announced today that
the operating license (Certificate Number 57-C-0221) of the
Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Wild Animal Safari, Inc., has
been renewed by Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services, a
division of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The park is
inspected annually by Animal and Plant Inspection Services, based
on the rules and regulations of the Animal Welfare Act, to ensure
the health and safety of all animals in the park's care.

"This renewed license is a testament to our ongoing commitment to
the safety and well-being of the animals in our park. With over
1,800 animals in our care, it is critical that they receive the
best treatment and living conditions possible. By ensuring the
well-being of these animals we are able to provide park visitors
with the best possible interactive safari experience available. As
a part of our full service -- family centric -- philosophy, we
focus on making all aspects of the safari experience enjoyable. A
visit to the park is rounded out by our very clean bathrooms,
highly rated and popular food concessions, shops, and friendly
customer service to ensure that park visitors remain happy and
above all else safe, when they lose themselves in the Wild Animal
Safari destination experience. I congratulate our park's management
and staff on a job well done." About Wild Animal Safari Park Wild
Animal Safari is a wholly owned subsidiary of Great American Family
Parks. Formerly Pine Mountain Wild Animal Park, the 200-acre park,
located within the 500-acre parcel purchased in September 2005 by
GFAM, contains more than 1,800 animals. The park's jungle of
animals come from around the globe, including Africa, India,
Australia, Europe, South America and North America, every continent
except Antarctica. Unlike a zoo, where animals are confined in
small, man-made quarters, most of the animals at the park roam
freely throughout its countryside, socializing, grazing and
watering as they would in their original environments. Wild Animal
Safari Park is located within an easily accessible one-hour drive
time from Atlanta and Macon, Georgia, as well as Montgomery and
Birmingham, Alabama. About Great American Family Parks: Great
American Family Parks is focused on buying and managing profitable
regional theme parks and themed amusement attractions. By building
a family of parks, GFAM is in the process of developing a series of
compatible, yet distinct entertainment and amusement products,
including themed amusement parks, associated products, food and
beverage, and multimedia offerings. For more information on the
