Busch Gardens Tampa Bay (BGT BGA) Discussion Thread

[kumba830I'm a Tim Tam Whore!]

I was hoping that Kumba would get a touch up some time soon. Which it did... and DAYUM it is looking good!

Can't wait to find out more about this new ride also, so keep the updates coming everyone.

Nice little photo update of BGA. I love Kumba's new paint job, it looks amazing. Exciting to see that construction of the new ride is beginning. This is definitely a construction update I'd like to keep tabs on.

Update, I went back today, though I forgot my camera. Their are the train track signs and such that are used when people cross over them. Errrrrr.....Rail Road crossing signs and such..... So I have reason to expect the walkway starting to take shape soon. Going to adventure island tomarrow, Busch Gardens is nice and all, but not when it's 98 degrees. >.>

This picture shows the railroad bridge over the trench. I wonder how long it'll take for them to get the tracks back in place for the train.

I have a feeling they might want to get all the equipment in before they start the coaster construction. I wonder if it's going to be a problem getting track in when the train is running, plus, would it break the new train tracks? I'm not sure how this is going to work.

Well it looks like the train tracks are going in now! This could get interesting with the construction!



There is more of an update on BGTGuide here.

Nice. So the kookaburra from the Critter's Cavern (I think that's what it's called) will get a new house. Can't wait to see this new experience in August, though I know that the food will probably cost about $5.
