We ventured out of Orlando to Tampa and visited Busch Gardens.

This park is a little different, think of a zoo and then drop roller coasters in it. We were sad that Sheikra our favourite coaster was being repaired. We did however get to try the new Tigres coaster.

We loved all the coasters but the best one we all agreed was the Cheeter Hunt. A close second was the Cobra's Curse. We also loved Falcon's Fury ... for a drop ride it was a little different to the standard ones we have been on before.

We love water rides and the Congo River Rapids was a lot of fun, you get absolutely soaked ... and the ponchos provided little protection.

On the zoo side there were plenty of animals and the theming for the rides matched the animal exhibits well. It was a really different way to enjoy animals and rides at the same time.

Definitely a park for older kids ride wise and younger kids for the animal exhibits.
