Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Launches New Park App

Interactive iPhone and Android Application Puts The Park In Your Hands!

Tampa, Fla. (August 4, 2011) – Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is putting the park in the guests’ hands by launching an interactive iPhone and Android application. The free app is now available in the iTunes App Store and will be coming soon to the Android Market.

This will be the first time that Busch Gardens has utilized GPS technology to guide guests through the park. The free app is designed to make the guest experience even better by giving them park details at their fingertips and helping them get the most out of their day.

An interactive map will show guests where they are in the park and allow them to highlight the quickest real -time route to their next destination by clicking the “Take Me There” button on any destination page. Whether the destination is a restaurant, show, roller coaster or animal habitat, the app can give details on its location, menu, restrictions, wait times and more. Guests can also search for the nearest restrooms, lockers and ATMs.

It will be as easy as searching the word “Cheetah” to find a path to the new Cheetah Run habitat. Guests can find fun facts about our animals and even snap a few photos without leaving the application by using the in-app camera. They can also connect to social media sites to share their photos with friends and keep up with Busch Gardens’ Facebook and Twitter feeds.

New Busch Gardens App Features:

• Interactive real-time map
