Busch Gardens Tampa Bay has announced nearly US$40m of investment into its park in Florida, US.
Upgrades and additions include the debut of Wild Oasis at Jungala in May, new animal encounters and a major transformation of Adventure Island.
“The extensive nearly $40m in investments will further solidify the park's status as a premier destination, ensuring guests of all ages will make unforgettable memories to last a lifetime," said Jeff Davis, park president of Busch Gardens Tampa Bay and Adventure Island.
“The additions and improvements will be made across our infrastructure, operations, staff recruiting, equipment, as well as adding to our aesthetics with more beautiful gardens and plant life.
“New animal arrivals are also in the plans, such as the reimaged Meerkat habitat, set to open this summer to inspire awe and wonder for all who visit. This is an exciting time for the park and these investments will make it better than ever before.”
Explore Wild Oasis is a new child-friendly adventure that includes the new Tree Top Drop attraction, as well as interactive climbing structures, a splash pad and self-guided scavenger hunt.
The Adventure Island water park is also expanding, adding Castaway Falls, a new splash and play area with multi-level player features and slides.
