 This morning we were invited out to Busch Gardens Tampa to hear the announcement for their newest coaster, and to get a behind the scenes look at Iron Gwazi. So no fanfare, just pics of the news RMC masterpiece. Enjoy. Written by Steve and Jennifer Burant  Busch Gardens Tampa has something very exciting on the horizon for 2020!  It's Iron Gwazi, the newest and biggest RMC conversion!  Either these guys are trying to get an exclusive look at the construction, or they're working.  Clearly they're working.  We were treated to a behind the scenes hard hat tour of the construction site!  In case you needed help remembering who's building this beast.  This will be the tail end of the barrel roll that goes underneath the lift hill.  Almost all of the footers for Iron Gwazi are the original footers from Gwazi. Florida is a recycling state!  The crane of destiny.  This is the part where the train flies off the track and explodes like in Roller Coaster Tycoon.  A little close up coaster track porn.  More footers and more track waiting to be put into place.  Happy to see they'll be reusing the station "fly by" element from the original ride.  Looks as if most of the support structure is new.  This is still some original wood, and a very tight turn.  Can't wait to ride this thing!  The large gap in the structure there is where the lift hill will be.  Something completely illogical will happen here. Come out to Busch Gardens Tampa next spring for the new RMC hotness! Related Videos

 Last weekend was the kickoff of Bier Fest at Busch Gardens Tampa. Steve and Jen were on site to try all the tasty drinks and food which all looks amazing. And they happened to take a look at a tiny little project going on at the park too. =) Written by Steve and Jennifer Bier Fest is back Busch Gardens and we’re to check out this year’s offerings!   This year’s festival map, most of Gwazi Park is blocked off for obvious reasons. More on that later!  Love the giant menu board at the festival entrance that lets you know what’s on tap at each location.  Plenty of food options available to soak up all the beer!     We tried the Spicy Mango Wings and Sweet Potato Fries, both delicious! And of course a Rosé Float for dessert!     Don’t worry, it’s not all beer at Bier Fest. There’s plenty of options for everyone! We can’t wait to go back for more. Weekends through 9/8   Bier Fest continues weekends through September 8th. You can find out all the details here. Oh, and there is this other thing going on at the park too!!   It looks pretty amazing   Related Videos
Related Updates:  For those of us who live near parks that are open year-round, January has long been considered one of the best times to visit parks, if they're open (unlike most SoCal parks this week due to the rain). As you'll see, Busch Gardens Tampa is one of those parks that's completely amazing to visit on a weekday. And also a good day to check out what's going on with their new Coaster. Written by Renée Girard It’s pretty much a perfect coaster day. Got on these three in less than 30 min.    Free beer is back!  Cheetah Hunt gets real close if you take a trip on the Sky Ride.  Sheikra is down for maintenance and Gwazi is still standing.  Tigris construction.   It’s still Christmas in Jungala.  Related Videos:
