We went through in our old Qashqai so weren't too bothered. It has the panoramic roof so when they were sat on it we had a great view.... Our 7 year old loved it!
We only saw one damaged car where they pulled out a parking sensor.
Much more exciting was the tiger enclosure. We were 1 car behind an old camper van, the children in it were stood at a full length (plastic) window looking out. One of the tigers came running out and jumped at it at quite some pace. The van really rocked, the children were screaming. About 15 seconds later the rangers came tearing along hornes beeping and quickly positioned themselves between the tiger and van. They were then escorted out, overtaking all the other cars.

We went in my wife’s S2000 so obviously we had to get on the bus. Much better experience, it takes a better route than the cars, and you get to laugh mockingly at the other cars getting savaged. With hindsight I’d do the bus anyway.
Probably cheaper whatever they charge given the cost to replace a wing or door mirror or whatever people are choosing to call those things!Took the alfa through. Monkeys pulled the rear wiper off.
Took the saab through. Monkeys did nothing, the deer had a ruck next to us and put a scratch the length of the car.
Took the lotus, they refused to let us in. The bus is more fun anyway.
The bus follows a European RV thing, the moneys were in every access door and flap. Two of them ate the foam seat of the bike on the back. The bus driver/commentator was laughing so hard he could barely drive.

I think you would be wise to check the weather forecast before you go, they are pretty accurate nowadays.
Any hint of rain, either take a spare set of wiper blades or don't go.
You could always switch your wiper blades on max speed and the water jets on continuous and watch the little buggers get wet trying to catch them.
