Busch Gardens is a unique theme park, that originally
started out in 1959 in the tropical grounds of the Anheuser-Busch brewery
located in Tampa, Florida. It was free to those visiting the brewery
where on the grounds, animal acts were done for the enjoyment of the employees
and visitors. Afterwards, they were able to go into the adjoining beer
garden for free Busch beer. Later the brewery shut down and the company
began to turn its attention to the development of its landscaping, animals of
unusual origins and amusements to bring people to the complex. As it
grew, the company started charging fees to enter, and added thrill rides,
especially roller coasters, to encourage more visitors.
There are two ways of exploring some of the animal
and plains located within the park and both are exciting and very
enjoyable. The Serengeti Express is a copy of the steam trains that
traveled the country in the late 1800s, and the cars of this train are open, so
you can enjoy the full sights, sounds and smells of the park. The Skyride
transfers visitors between the Crown Colony and Stanleyville. Entering
into the park, the first themed area you come to is the Morocco section.
the mystic sheiks of Morocco brass and percussion ensemble is located here, as
well as Sultan's sweets and Zagora Cafe. Snacks and drinks are always
available here any time during your visit. A wooden roller coaster called
the Gwazi is here, as it drops 90 feet at 50 miles an hour. Gwazi Gliders
