Busch Gardens EXPEDITION - Part 1

Yesterday I was at Busch Gardens, and I took so many pictures that I have to divide this update in three parts!! It was a GREAT day, I love Busch Gardens Tampa, and I would choose it over Animal Kingdom EVERY TIME!!! It's so much better! You can really see a lot of animals, and if you want, you have also a lot of rides to choose from. Busch Gardens is such an underrated theme park!

Believe me, if you can go and visit it!! Also, I really appreciate Busch Gardens' management, because they're great! For example, yesterday since there were many people, they didn't let anybody pay the parking!!

And there's more! They really did all they could to speed up the entrance of all the people and also in the rides... Really, I have to give them an A+ +!!

But now, on to the pictures!:

Their adjacent water-park: Adventure Island:

Welcome to the great Busch Gardens!

you can see Montu from the parking lot:

since there were many people, they opened a second entrance! Great management:

Katonga: Great plot, artists, and costumes; poor music and lack of REAL special effects:

let's go and see the big apes!:

I love park maps:

No privacy around this house! (from the Carousel of Progress):

really great nature:

the baby gorilla:

the new Animal Connections doesn't seem to be so appreciated...

No more eagle here:

This colonial house is spectacular:

It's not the Epcot Flower and Garden festival, but it's still a great floral display:

Let's head to Africa:

love the ruins!:

The tomb (here I smell a missed opportunity for a great dark-ride...):

and now, some Montu pictures:

Montu is one of the longest inverted coasters in the world!!:

look at the happy faces of the passengers!:

the train:

even better than AK!!:

New roller-coaster ahead:

The skyway is a great way to see the animals and also to relax:

SheiKra in the distance:
