The park hadn't opened yet, but there was an undeniable energy throughout the entire campus. Anticipation was so powerful in the lines outside the front gates that it could be felt in every corner, by every member of the staff.

One such member, a black fox, was performing some last minute checks to make sure the 'safari' attraction was ready for opening. He walked along the tram tracks, making sure they were clear. He walked into the first enclosure of the attraction, which was filled with soft molded rubber and plastic in designs evoking the idea of a jungle while not obscuring the view from the tracks to most of the space. The vulpine felt eyes on him from behind and chuckled. "Morning, Pamf."

A low chuff was his reply, before an enormous panther strode into his field of view and sprawled out on the ground next to the track. The panther was sleek and glistening in the early morning light, his glossy black coat healthy and luxuriously thick. Pamf appeared to be about twenty feet long from snout to tail, but this didn't affect his feline countenance. He lapped at the back of one of his paws. "How soon are we opening?" The big cat finally asked, his stomach making a growl that could be felt through the floor.

"Less than twenty minutes. I need to check the other enclosures before then, or else you'll have to wait longer." The fox teased the panther lightly.

Pamf huffed quietly, but did his best to look uninterested. "Well, I am famished. Food sooner is better... unless you'd like a little unscheduled break?" He slurped his chops, looking over the staff member.

Hard to detect with black fur, the vulpine blushed slightly. "That'll just delay the ride opening further... for one anthro snack?"

The panther sprawled out with a dramatic sigh, before lifting his forepaws and patting into his midsection, showing how flat and nearly sunken it looked. "You know my metabolism calls for so much more than that... very well. Don't let the others succeed where I failed, alright?"

The fox chuckled, rubbing the back of his head. "Right." He headed on into the next enclosure, and the next oversized animal beyond.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The clock tower in the middle of the amusement park struck out the hour, as a multitude of gate workers started making sure entry passes were valid as quickly as they could. The flow of guests into the park was constant.

Two guests, a housecat and a skunk, darted hand in hand, the feline dragging the mephit eagerly. "C'mon, Nick!" The feline shouted out as he dragged his friend along.

The skunk, Nick, did his best to keep up, but his friend's enthusiasm kept them at full speed.

The safari attraction's line was entirely empty, since they arrived first. The cat came around the last switchback in the line and moved to cross the red line on the ground to get onto the empty ride vehicle.

Unfortunately, the white rabbit operating the ride from the loading deck stepped to intercept, holding his arms out. The crew member pointed back as he explained; "You're going to have to wait until a full tram car's worth of guests are there for the ride to actually get going."

Nick gently tugged the feline back. "C'mon Bart." The mephit raised his tail and hopped up onto one of the bars dividing the switchbacks in the line, letting his tail drop back down the other side.

The cat sighed and leaned against a divider in the line at the front, while his mephitidae friend looked around at the set dressing of the space.

Silhouettes of different feral animals were all over the walls, and there was a screen every few feet pressing out from the ceiling of the room playing a safety briefing for the ride vehicles, how to get into the restraints properly and the like... Or so Nick thought. He perked and looked closer at a screen as the announcer voice calmly explained. "Each seat has a consent yes switch and a revocation button. We don't want anyone to accidentally signal their consent when they don't mean it, after all!" It showed the little panel in front of each seat, and there was a safety switch, the kind with a cover that flips open to reveal the switch itself, and a red button. "At any time until you leave the ride vehicle you can cancel your consent with the revocation button." The screen showed a paw slamming on the red button with a klaxon sound.

"They... really thought this through." The skunk said softly.

Bart perked, looking to his friend. "Oh yeah, they wouldn't get away with the kinds of stuff at this park if they didn't make sure it was airtight. For Halloween they have 'haunted houses' where you have to consent to -anything- before entering. Wild, right?"

"Y-yeah. Wild." The skunk blushed deeply, tapping his fingers together.

It wasn't long before the first tram ride of the day could start. Once enough guests had joined the line behind the pair of friends, the white rabbit opened the little gate and gestured to the first ride vehicle.

The tram appeared to be designed so that they could operate car by car or in a group of four cars at a time. Each one was made up of several modules of two seats with a dividing wall between each. The doors for each little module clearly had two buttons and two covered switches on the inward facing side. On the outside they looked fairly plain, just with an orange painted stripe horizontally along each.

The cat picked out a seat, pointing to the seat beside it. "This is the best seat for a first time. C'mon." Bart flopped down into his own seat and beckoned his friend sit beside him.

Nick did so, and hugged his big fluffy tail anxiously. While there were little dividing walls between each paired seating, there were two sets of over the shoulder restraints. The rigid, ergonomically designed bars moved independently.

This was evident considering how Bart had engaged his restraints fairly quickly, bringing the padding flush to his chest.

The mephit, shorter than his friend, had to stand back up to grasp the handles and pull it down until it snugly pressed on his chest.

The white rabbit came around the vehicle, checking on guests. "Alright, lemme see you reach your buttons." He said to the cat and skunk.

The cat put his paws on his panel, and the skunk followed suit, having a little more trouble reaching, but he still could.

"Alright, enjoy the ride, and remember, no pressing each other's buttons." The staff rabbit smiled and winked, before moving to the next pair.

Nick shuddered in his seat. "You wouldn't do that, would you?"

"Nah." Bart put a hand on his friend's leg. "I want you to have fun. Anyway, I hear they turn off your buttons and lock the restraints if they catch you doing that. You gotta spend the rest of the ride as an observer whether you want it or not."

"Better than releasing them entirely." The skunk muttered bashfully.

"Like I said. Airtight." The housecat confirmed, before the tram started to move. Bart squeezed his paw on his friend's thigh and let out a whoop as they left the boarding station.

The tram travelled through a fairly short tunnel, before starting to descend, headed towards the first enclosure. True to the cat's word, Nick was able to see a majority of the enclosure from their seat as the single car entered, but the mephit's attention was held by the star of the first room.

Pamf was sprawled over the tracks, showing off how flat and empty his stomach was. As if on cue, it let out an airy growl that could be felt through the tram's seats and restraints. As the tram itself approached, he casually rolled off of them to allow the ride vehicle to move along.

Nick noticed that the tram's tracks lazily wound around this chamber before heading out at the exit at the other end of the enclosure.

An unseen speaker in the tram produced the rabbit operator's voice. "Guests who wish to disembark into the panther, flip your switches."

The housecat reached forward, pulled up the cover and flipped his switch, grinning.

Pamf smirked a bit, slurping over his chops, and reached up with a paw. He pressed a button on top of the tram that wasn't visible from the ground, and the over-the shoulder restraints on the smaller feline popped up.

The skunk gasped softly, watching with a deeper blush than before.

The enormous predator calmly kept pace with the tram's movement, lowering his head down to sniff his first treat of the day. His eyes, however, focused on the skunk as he took a low slurp of the far smaller feline.

Bart let out a soft, needy yowl, putting his paws on the big muzzle in front of him.

Nick, however was frozen, watching this enormous cat do its thing.

Pamf teasingly glanced down to the skunk's control panel, before looking right back into his eyes.

The skunk shook his head, feeling his heartbeat in his ears.

The predator didn't push the point, returning his focus to Bart. He opened his jaws wide.

The housecat gasped and clambered onto the broad tongue in front of him.

The large muscle curved and pulled the rest of the anthro inside. Pamf started to close his jaws, chuffing appreciatively.

"I'll see you after the ride!" Bart called out to Nick, right before the jaws knit shut with a wet clack of teeth on teeth.

Pamf tilted his head back, and swallowed. The way he was positioning himself was clearly to give the guests a nice show of their fellow guest becoming a meal. He even trailed a forepaw along his throat in the wake of the distention travelling down.

The panther then moved around to the other side of the tram to catch another snack.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Nick had sat in a blushy mess as he witnessed a fifteen foot tall horse and a thirty foot long sea leopard similarly treat his tram car as a buffet. Finally, the ride vehicle made its way back up to its former height, but instead of heading straight to the station, it was now travelling atop the wall of the first enclosure, with the mephit's seat facing into it.

On the ground beneath the wall was Pamf. He knew this part of the ride, and loved it. Each paired seat changed position so that they all faced the inside of the enclosure. But he saw only one guest, the blushy skunk.

From his position the mephit didn't realize he was the only one to not end up inside a predator from his group, staring at the panther's belly.

The silky black paunch was distended, presumably because other trams full of guests had passed through his enclosure since the mephit's left. Pamf slowly rubbed over it with a paw. "Maybe next time you'll join them." The enormous panther rumbled in a low voice, making direct eye contact with Nick. Pamf extended his forepaws over his head, stretching out lazily. "Then this'll be you." He practically purred to the skunk, before he closed his eyes, and a powerful gurgle emitted from his belly.

Nick couldn't look away, gripping onto the handles on his restraints tightly.

The big cat's stomach was visibly smoothing over, and the roundness was lessening by the moment. Rumbling glorps must have been amplified by hidden microphones, as they seemed to surround Nick. At the same time the panther's powerful hindlegs noticeably thickened, along with the big cat's hips.

Pamf rolled onto his forepaws and gave his hips a shake, showing off how the guests added to his figure, and just how soft and jiggly they were in their new form. The panther glanced back towards the skunk, before turning his head in profile to the spectator and thumping his brisket with a velvet paw dramatically. The feline let out a bassy belch, a great deal of anthro clothing splattered out on the rush of gasses, including what Bart had been wearing, standing out to the panther's solo audience.

The immense predator grinned up at Nick, as the tram started to turn away from his enclosure. "Hope to see you on my hips soon, cutie."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Yawning, Bart sat up. He sighed a bit, looking around the small chamber he woke up in. Folded on the bench across from him lay his clothes. Getting dressed as quickly as he could in his still drowsy state, the housecat opened the door and started down the hall in the direction the arrows pointed. As he did so, other guests were coming out of other doors, some blushing, some grinning, and others just looking kind of woozy.

The hallway opened into a shop with a jungle theme. There were large plush toys of each of the featured predators of the attraction, the largest of which had tags that proclaimed that they could stretch to fit an adult anthro were one so inclined to crawl in.

The cat didn't pay much mind to that, having spotted his black and white friend. Bart approached from the side, perking as he saw just how red Nick's face was.

The mephit was at the souvenir photo. All over the screens were pictures of the various predators mid-swallow or with a guest peeking from their muzzle. One screen, however, was showing a series of clips, video of the swallows, and more blush-inducing, the powerful stomachs contracting, camera angles accentuating the added mass to the predatory frames as they layered into place beneath the silky fur.

Reaching gently, Bart placed his paw on the skunk's shoulder and squeezed gently.

Nick jumped a little, but turned his head. "T-they... they really lean into it, don't they?"

The housecat chuckled and gave his friend a nuzzle on his heated cheeks. "Yeah, they do... Now that you know what to expect, and they'll only eat ya if you want it... wanna go on the ride again?"

Glancing back at the screen showing videos, Nick saw the big panther shaking his rump towards the camera. The bass voice came through on the speakers. "Hope to see you on my hips soon, cutie."

With a soft, needy squeak, the skunk nodded eagerly and grasped his friend's hand, bolting back towards the entrance to the ride.
