	Ah, the Serengeti Plain. With views like this, you'll feel like you're in Africa. The landscaping in this park is incredible.
	Guests can take a private tour of the Serengeti Plain, and feed the giraffes. There is an added cost for this premium attraction, but well worth it for a fantastic close-up experience.
	Wee! Kids like to ride on the Stanley Falls Flume. This log flume will get you wet, but there's no better way to cool off on a hot, summer day.
	There are seven roller coasters, and three water rides, at Busch Gardens. Rides like these are sure to please thriller seekers of all ages.
	"Katonga - Musical Tales from the Jungle" is a must-see show. This musical extravaganza will astound you with all its glory, and the singing is spectacular.
	Woo, woo, woo. It's fun for me and you, in Timbuktu. The land of Timbuktu is full of rides, amusements, shows, eateries, and shops.
	Be sure to see Pirates 4-D, an exciting show, located in the Timbuktu section of the park.
	What a beautiful animal the lion is. You'll be amazed at the animals in this terrific amusement park.
	You can ride roller coasters all day at Busch Gardens. Even if you don't ride, they sure are fun to watch.
	Oh, look at the view from the Sky Ride. It's a smooth ride, and a lot of fun.

Busch Gardens Questions or Comments

Sheikra Lines

Q: Any concerns about lines for Sheikra? Coming over from Cocoa Beach and want to make sure we get plenty of rides in. The next day we are going to Adventure Island. We have been touring Florida and trying to figure out what the best thrill ride is. Sheikra has been mentioned by many people. My friend Laura came back from Busch Gardens last weekend, all she was saying was Sheikra, the greatest ride ever, Sheikra! She was there in the middle of the afternoon and said the lines were about 20 minutes. Any experience or thoughts on Sheikra lines?

Thanks a bunch, Martine Coals (Cocoa Beach)

A: Sheikra is awesome for sure. As for the lines, they are directly related to the school system in Hillsborough County. When school is on, or open, the lines are low for Sheikra. If the local school are closed, the kids are out and many will be in line for Sheikra. Please let us know how it goes. Enjoy.

Floorless Sheikra

C: It is official, Sheikra is now floorless. I believe that makes it the second floorless roller coaster in Florida. The other one is at Seaworld Adventure Park. Also, over at the Zoo Kitchen one of the park's employees told us that 1000 employees are full time, and about 4000 extra part time employees are added during peak season.

Jack Hanna Animal Adventures

C: Have you seen the show that is produced by Busch Gardens? It is called Jack Hanna Animal Adventures, where Jungle Jack Hanna and crew takes television viewers around the world. And they go all over the place and do close ups of lots of critters, teaching about animals having exciting adventures. It is really fun stuff. This is one of the many new things to do in Tampa.

Hippopotamus Zoo

Those little Hippopotamus are so cute running around next to their mother. Now the big Hippopotamus are just huge, but the baby hippos are not much bigger than a medium sized dog. I really like the animal rides at Tampa's Busch Gardens Adventure Park.
