I imagine that the things on the edge of the steps are lights; maybe working ones?

Agh, hadn't thought of that. I REALLY hope not... but you are probably right.  I am SO sick of stupid blinky-winkies.. and worse, pointless senseless shooting.. THINGS.

What I can't figure out is the "wood" things that seem attached to the rocks next to these stairs...  ???

They are clipped on.  Some sort of hose system so you can have real water circulating?

Yes, those things.. but they look to be hard plastic to me... but maybe you're right.... they are near the water... all of them.

Can't see them in the zoo, but two of them appear on that other one, and one on the pic bml87 found...

Why don't the lions just stroll up the steps and snack on a couple of humans?
At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

Yeah those are light pedestals on the stairs. They are non-functional I am sure. They were used on the Children's Hospital I think. I know I have one pair of them and found them useful. Not sure about the wood thing, but probably something to do with the water features.

Exactly!  :D

I'm glad that I'm not the only one :)

The new redcoat in the duo-pack is a customizer's dream come true I think.

Not really. A few useful parts for creating some customs, yes. But as a whole, the soldier looks wrong and awful, imho.
It´s like they mixed parts from a footsoldier with an officer. And again he too comes with a wrong (19th century) rifle.

Resistance is futile, you will be boarded!

That´s a bummer, for the global environment.
