• Busch Gardens Update: 01/02/10

      With a new year comes a update from around Busch Gardens Tampa.

      With the impending closure of Land of the Dragons the park has added a countdown clock at the entrance plaza in morocco counting to the opening of Sesame Street Safari of fun.


      The XCURSIONS store now part of “Worlds of Discovery” rather than Anheuser Busch. The change includes removing the AB eagle logos from around the store.


      The park has recieved shipment of a Statix scale model of Sheikra, while it is not an exact replica it is entertaining and a great gift for any coaster enthusiest. It is priced at $100.


      The Christmas on Ice show has concluded performances and the stage was being defrosted and prepped for the Real Music concert series taking place weds through sat starting mid January and going through march.


      While the AB Eagle topiary was removed around summer nights, the flowers around the Clydesdales were still in the shape of the symbol untill recently. The Clydesdales themselves were still at the barn but most likely will be leaving the park as soon as Monday.

      The wood craft shop in Timbuktu next to the Bazaar and Desert Grill was closed when I visited, it looked to be vacated.


      In Nairobi the huge AB merchandise sale is continuing for a few more days with most merchandise being marked down as much as 50%, at the moment.

      Some other little details I’m forgetting now, on to the photos:

        Nice update Robert. Said there is so little mention of Anheuser-Busch around the park now.
