Busch Gardens Again!

Last weekend, I went to Busch Gardens (again) with my family. There was another famous salsa singer, Jerry Rivera, for the Viva La Musica Festival. This was the last weekend of spanish music in Busch Gardens and Sea World.  I have been to Busch Gardens countless times, and one day is not enough to see everything in the park. I have the yearly pass for Busch Gardens and Sea World, so I will be visiting these theme parks often. 

After the concert and the extreme heat we headed to the Sesame Street area of the park to make my 2 year old nephew happy. We found the watering hole and it was perfect for him. I wish that I could go in there as well. He was having a great time playing in the water. We almost couldn't get him out of there.

Sheikra is one of my favorite roller coasters in Florida. The 90 degree fall is scary and exciting. From the first row you get a few seconds of preview when it stops before the fall. This is probably the scariest moment in the whole ride. I am afraid of heights, but I love roller coasters. There is always a LONG line to ride Sheikra and most of my family is afraid of riding it. Lines are boring and making them alone is even worse. Maybe Andre will join me next time. He has been working on weekends and he has not come to Busch Gardens with me.

We decided to go in the Serengeti Railway to see the park from a comfortable place. There are several stations around the park where you can get on/off. We stayed for about half of the ride and decided to get off just in time before my nephew got bored. You can see the largest area of the park, the serengueti plain, from the air or from the train. The animals are running "free" in that area. Depending on the day you can see them very close.

Zebras were close that day

Hippos - we were told mom and daughter hippos

We wanted to see the Bengal tigers and Orangutans in the Jungala area. As soon as we walked into the area, the tiger below, was going crazy. He was not happy to have spectators and was jumping against the window very angry. I should have done a video.

After the tiger calmed down

After taking a few pictures we kept walking. We found the Stanley Falls. I was surprised when my brother in law said that he wanted to ride it. My sister followed and I was waiting right at the fall to take their pictures.

At the end of the day

Busch Gardens is a great theme park for everyone. I'm lucky to live only 15 minutes away from it. If you want to see more pictures click here.
