This past Thursday we were invited out to SeaWorld San Diego to ride the all new Arctic Rescue! We've got a lot of video and pics to get into with this update so as always we're just going to get right into it. But a special thank you to SeaWorld San Diego for inviting us out for a fantastic day in the park!  Welcome to SeaWorld San Diego! Arctic Rescue is NOW OPEN!!  Before the media event started we wanted to check out the new Rescue Jr. area. Also, I think it's time for some new flat rides in the park. Maybe a Screamin' Swing right around this area? =)  Welcome to Rescue Jr!    It's a retheme of the previous Sesame Street area and since Sesame Place now exists, it makes perfect sense!  No new rides for now, but a retheme of what was already there.     Guessing some educational shows in this area  This looked vaguely new to me, maybe some new paint?   New show coming this Summer!  Over in the Penguin Encounter, some new signage and lighting. It's also winter time for the Penguins so they do ask you keep your phones and lights off.  The Flaming-O's were back in their permanent home. Hope this means good things in relation to the bird flu that was impacting them.  Also, all summer you can get $0.75 beer in the park! Click the link below to learn more.  Let's move on to Arctic Rescue! The ride is a lot of fun and we've got 4 videos to prove it!
 Some ride regulations and the height requirement and height limit.
  Let's head into the station!  Really liked the station and lighting.     Some close ups of the train for those of you who like that kind of thing. You know who you are. =)     Trainless Station Saturday? Is that a thing?  You can also skip the coaster and go straight to Wild Arctic. You can also skip Wild Arctic as you exit the coaster.  There are lockers for your convenience.  Out in the store, some new 2023 Merch is available!  These are super cute.  And of course, all of your Arctic Rescue gear!    Did you know that Arctic Rescue features the first Hard Selzer created exclusively for a theme park attraction? And it's quite tasty too!  Arctic Rescue is NOW OPEN!!! As for the ride, I really liked it. It's definitely a family coaster, but that's okay. It's thrilling enough for me, but tame enough for the younger set. They'll love it. Related Videos

 We spent the evening at Busch Gardens Tampa for a preview of the upcoming Food & Wine event, happening weekends March 10 - May 21!   First stop, some delicious Cabernet with the Vegetable Samosas from Trek Through Africa. Quite tasty with a little spiciness from the chutney.    Next up, the Buffalo Chicken and Philly Cheese Steak Egg Rolls. We paired these with the Twisted Lemonade and Serengeti Flyer Punch. I think I preferred the steak egg roll but both were good!    Next up was Morocco and Greece. We tried the Chicken Batbout, Stuffed Grape Leaves and Baklava. Chicken and Baklava were really good, but we weren’t fans of the grape leaves. Just not our thing but we tried something new.    Final food stop of the night was European Delights, where we had the Pierogies and Tiramisu. This was our favorite of the night! Wanted to try ravioli but unfortunately they were out. Next time!   Capped off an excellent evening with a four-person, front row night ride on Iron Gwazi. This ride at night is out of control fun! Thanks again Busch Gardens for having us. We’re looking forward to a great event and awesome concerts!  Related Videos
