TAMPA, Fla. – Busch Gardens Tampa Bay has given many of its popular attractions some new looks, all ahead of the busy summer season.

This includes fresh looks to popular attractions including Montu, Cheetah Hunt and Stanley Falls Flume, as well as to the park’s Moroccan Village and Pantopia.

Even more enhancements are happening next door at Busch Gardens’ nearby water park, Adventure Island. Back in March, the park debuted a new tropical seating area for guests to enjoy. The water park will also be opening two new attractions very soon, Rapids Racer and Wahoo Remix.

Park leaders said the changes will continue later this year when Busch Gardens Tampa Bay debuts an all-new entrance sign complete with the park logo, animals and roller coasters.
