Welcome to Busch Gardens Tampa
They were still celebrating Christmas
I started the day at Gwazi
Unfortunately, this dueling wooden coaster is a mere shell of its former glory
This park is so pretty
I made a new friend at one of the aviaries
SheiKra was my next coaster of the day
SheiKra is a B&M Dive Coaster
The wide floorless trains really add to the thrill factor of the ride
The coaster features two straight down drops
It ends with a splash (only those watching get wet - you stay dry on board)
The ride is a lot of fun - and I enjoyed watching the splashdowns at lunch
Which I had here - so yummy
Big kitty!
Next it was time for KUMBA
Kumba is a B&M built sit down looper
Kumba means Roar
This coaster really packs a punch
The next coaster was Cheetah Chase
Scorpion is right across the street
I really like these old school loopers
Elephants
Time for Rhino Rally
Let's go see some rhinos
There's one
Oh no - our raft has broken free
The raft traveled down this crazy "river"
Heading into Egypt
This area is home to Montu
Montu is an amazing B&M inverted coaster
This is a massive coaster - one of the largest inverteds out there
The coaster features a lot of submerged elements
Here is one of the many trenches featured on the coaster
Let's take a ride on the Sky Ride
This is so much fun
Such a pretty park
I always have a great time at Busch Gardens. Today was no different
