Busch Gardens

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is a 335-acre animal theme park located in Tampa, Florida, with the entire park landscaped and designed around themes of Africa and Asia. Owned and operated by SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment, the park opened on June 1, 1959.

The park has an annual attendance consistently exceeding 4 million, often ranking second among SeaWorld parks behind SeaWorld Orlando.

The park features many roller coasters and thrill rides, including a Dive Coaster called SheiKra, a “family-style” thrill coaster themed around cheetahs called Cheetah Hunt, a launched roller coaster called Tigris, a classic -seated steel roller coaster called Kumba, a wood-steel hybrid hypercoaster called Iron Gwazi, Falcon’s Fury (the second-tallest free-standing drop tower in North America, and one of few to tilt and face riders towards the ground), and Montu, which was the tallest and fastest inverted roller coaster in the world when it opened. The park also features several rides and attractions aimed for children under the age of nine, as well as two water rides—a river rafting ride and a classic log flume.
