    Mombasa is close enough to claim this mystery done,
    But the other half of the ; store is really the one.

    Ziwani Traders is the shop where we're at
    To the left of the Register hung up like a bat.

    !!ImagiNERD for the WIN!!!

    --------------------------

    Paintbrush Where Am I Clues...

    The journey to these brushes galore,
    Starts with some steps to the hardware store. (Ziwani Traders Marketplace is themed aso Post)

    So start looking high and start looking low, (the brushes are hung above the register in the part of the store closest to the safari.)
    The park where we are is starting to grow. (coming soon... Avatar Land)
    ------------

    Goofmick had a great
    Othought even though it was wrong, (Tom Sawyer could have used the brushes to whitewash the fence.)
    The place where we are is enveloped in song. (being in Africa, you can hear the African Drummers and the band in every corner of the land.)

    So look to you left, then look to your right;
    The place where we are is a colorful sight. (Again, Africa and Zwadi have colorful clothing and art set throughout.)
    --------------

    The park has been narrowed to the one with a Peak, (Animal Kingdom has Everest)
    But land you are in is not what you seek. (but don't look in Asia)

    So take to the air, then take to the ground;
    The gateway to our land is easily found. (if you head to Africa from the Tree of Life, you enter Harambe through the fortress gates.)
    -----------------

    Another good guess but again it is wrong.
    The bones of those Dino's is not where we're hung. (so not in dinoland)

    You went the wrong way from the show that was flying; (if starting at Flights of Wonder in Asia, you headed the wrong direction by going to Dinoland)
    So just turn around, unless I am lying. (turn the other direction and head to Africa. ; FYI, there is a homonym clue in this sentence... Lying = Lion, hence Africa)
    ------------------

    The land of the tiger is not where we are, (again, not Asia)
    But have no fear because you need not walk far.

    So head further west from the land of the Beast, (walk to Africa)
    We are hung near the house with a feast. (leads you to tusker house)
    -----------------------

    The house of the pachyderm is not where we are, (again, not Tusker)
    Just a little bit north, again not to far. (head north in Harambe to Ziwani traders)

    So stop here before your two week journey, (Ziwani Traders is a Safari Supply Store)
    Pack up your bags, but not in a hurry. (the noth exit of Ziwani faces the Safari fastpass area)

    Hopefully this will be the last clue,
    The places to choose are down to a few. (self explanatory)
    ---------------------

    The food place so nice that it was named twice,
    Was one of the few not so right. ; (not Tamu Tamu)

    No food will you find in this building of mine,
    A supply list is things that you might. ; (yep, the Trading Station)
    ----------------------

    But i have discovered one thing with this though... ; The WAI needs to be solved within three or four days in order to keep interest. ; Otherwise it is just one or two people participating after that time frame. ; So there in lies the rub. ; Too easy, solved with one guess. ; Too hard, it sits unsolved for months.

    I just read this & was enjoying it so much that I was saddened when I got to the end only to find out it had been solved. I was ready to jump in the fun. Well done Red...

    Did you go back and read thru the "little boy blue" WAI? ; That was the first of my rhyming riddles. ; Might have to do one for each park.
