Busch Gardens Tampa's Roller Coasters

Busch Gardens Tampa's Roller Coasters
If you are planning a trip to Tampa and have time for a little fun, a visit to Busch Gardens is an absolute must for the itinerary. The Safari theme park, which opened in 1959, offers a variety of state-of-the-art roller coasters that are suitable for every guest. We have all ridden and rated them based on uniqueness, intensity and general experience. Click through to see where they stand.

We did not know if we were laughing because of the brisk track or the prospect of flying out of the roller coaster car (of course nervous laughter), but this was not our favorite.

The Good: It's located next to Busch Gardens' Serengeti Overlook Restaurant, which offers an all-you-can-eat buffet, fruity cocktails, and views of African wildlife. The bad thing is that you absolutely do not want to ride this revolving, rear-mounted coaster with a full stomach. It will indeed be a curse.

We know that this is one of the park's most famous and revered coasters, but in our experience we felt more like the guy in the front right seat. No one wants to be that guy.

As the oldest rollercoaster in Busch Gardens, the nostalgic effect certainly adds to the ride in our ranking. We're also big fans of the single loop, because nothing is more scary than standing upside down, without an over-shoulder strap.

The Montu is an absolute must. It performs a perfect combination of loops, barrel rolls and high-speed drop. It's also exciting when your legs dangle when gravity (or lack thereof) takes control of your body.

The coaster has three high-speed launches to mimic the world's fastest land animal hunting for prey. We still have not figured out if we felt more like the cheetah or its prey, but we know we felt great.

If you do not entice 90 degrees, you should spend your day on the safari of Sesame Street. SheiKra is the reason why there are roller coasters. It's equally exciting, scary and fun.

You'll be disappointed that our # 1 option is technically not a roller coaster ride, but no other attraction at Busch Gardens comes close to frightening your face as if it were your death. The freefall ride first disguises itself as gentle and scenic, but then works inward, before you are freed from the 335 foot high summit. Bathroom accident-prone, but absolutely worth it.

Busch gardens best rides

Busch gardens best rides
Busch Gardens covers an area of ​​335 hectares and combines elements of a zoo and amusement park. The park is divided into nine African theme areas (if you move counterclockwise through the park): Morocco, Egypt, Nairobi, Pantopia, Congo, Jungala, Stanleyville, Sesame Street, Safari of Fun and Bird Gardens. The park is a thrill-seeker's paradise and has several roller coasters that regularly rank among the top 5 in the country. But Busch Gardens is more than an experience, with beautiful scenery, great shows and really wonderful children's play areas.

Busch Gardens: A paradise for roller coaster lovers
Busch Gardens is famous for its high speed cruises. Busch officials refer to Cheetah Hunt as a start-up coaster powered by a series of magnets - officially a linear synchronous motor propulsion system. It is the park's first coaster with a rise that is not simply powered by gravity after climbing the launch hill. Instead, Cheetah Hunt offers three acceleration phases - up to 30 miles per hour and at unexpected times. suddenly up to 60 miles per hour; and after a slower track again up to 40.

Climbing to a height of 102 feet, the riders enjoy a magnificent view of the animal-filled Serengeti Plains before plunging down a ditch. The 16-passenger trains race through several rolling curves and a complete reversal - they are held by shoulder rests, which are doubly secured with a belt attached to the seat - over the 4,349 foot long track. Thrill experience four times the gravity of gravity. Cheetah Hunt is designed to be sleek and accessible to a variety of drivers who can be intimidated by SheiKra, Montu and Kumba. Although Cheetah Hunt will put a smile on your face, it will not make you shake your head like these power station coasters. Five of the trains can drive at the same time. Park executives estimate that they can move 1,370 passengers per hour.

Busch GardensThe Scorpion coaster fades in comparison to the big sisters Kumba and Montu. Despite its small stature, with speeds of 50 miles per hour, a 360-degree vertical loop, and three 360-degree spirals, this is not something to think about. Lines are rarely long for this attraction, but because the coaster does not have the high capacity of Kumba or Montu, the line moves slowly. Drive to the big shores and Falcon's Fury or save the afternoon drive when the wait is almost always shorter.

All the adventurous call to Busch Gardens
Busch GardensMontu is a super roller coaster made of inverted steel. The seats hang below the track and the riders' feet are dangling from this intense rollercoaster, one of the top 20 in the country and one of the best we've ever driven. The fast but extremely quiet ride starts with a 13-story drop. The riders are then thrown through a 10 meter long vertical loop. Speeds reach 60 mph as drivers are accelerated through dizzying loops and turns, including an Immelman, an inverse loop named after the German German fighter Max Immelman.

When you drive in the front, you have a free, unobstructed view of everything around you. We definitely recommend the first row. Look for the special queue on the front panel as soon as you enter the charging station. Waiting for the front usually takes an extra 20 minutes, but it's worth it for the thrill.

The Botanical Garden of Istanbul University Alfred Heilbronn, one of the oldest such gardens in Turkey, was founded in 1935 by German Professor Alfred Hilbron, who was invited by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of modern Turkey, into the country.

The botanical garden is home to more than 5,000 different plant species.

In fact, in 2015, the Botanical Garden was assigned to the country's top religious body, the Directorate for Religious Affairs (Diyanet), which in turn will hand over the property to the Mufti's office in Istanbul.

The office of Sheikh-ul-Islam, the oldest Islamic figure, was located on this property during the Ottoman Empire. For this reason, according to the newspaper, the garden was assigned to the Directorate of Religious Affairs.

"This is a national treasure that should be spared. The Mufti's office could be moved everywhere, but if we leave this country, all our work will die, "said Professor Muammer Ünal of the Faculty of Science, Faculty of Science, Istanbul University.

Ünal warned that if the garden was moved 400 species of trees and 5,000 plant species would die.

"Here live very rare plant species. The 14,878 square meter garden is also used by students. Classes will be affected, "he added.

Welcome to your site, where you'll quickly become a trusted and inviting source of community and horticultural information for the entire valley - the website for the Santa Ynez Valley Botanic Garden Foundation.

We are proud that the botanical garden was built by the community for the community. At the age of one to eighty years volunteered to garden, plant and mulch the garden. If you would like to participate in this old project, please visit our website to volunteer.

"Forgetting how to dig the earth and cultivate the soil is to forget yourself." Ghandhi
With no community funding supporting the purchase of plant material, construction materials, ongoing maintenance, and our numerous gardening schemes such as an adventure playground next to our willow labyrinth and a small amphitheater to collect, a pot, and a storage room, we would not exist for our growing tool collection.

We know we are going through some difficult financial times, and we do not ask you to throw your nest egg for the garden. However, we ask that you consider donating any amount of money, big or small, to make you feel comfortable, as part of the driving force behind the Santa Ynez Botanic Garden, which provides all of us ,

Beautiful botanical gardens

Beautiful botanical gardens
Any traveler who wants to immerse themselves in nature abroad should visit the nearest botanical garden.

Like an encyclopedia that has come to life, botanical gardens have something of everything: history, culture, geology. Some focus on indigenous species, while others grow a vast collection of exotic plants, flowers and trees from around the world.

Above all, botanical gardens are designed to be enjoyed. So sit back and browse through a dozen of our favorites.

If New York's Central Park decided to emigrate south, sprout a few rare and endangered South Australian plants and settle in a new city, this might look like Adelaide's esteemed botanical garden. With 1.5 million visitors a year, the expansive grounds offer a variety of landscapes - from wetlands to rose gardens to a mini rainforest in the single largest conservatory in the southern hemisphere - and a sense of tranquility amid the bustling downtown of Adelaide.

On the slopes of South Tyrol, about halfway between Trento and Innsbruck, there is a medieval castle with one of the most complex gardens in Europe. The vegetation is divided into 83 (yes, really) different landscapes, from oak forests to olive groves, vineyards, semi-desert gardens with cacti and a lily pond sprinkled with lotus flowers. Mountain peaks surround the entire site, and wherever you look, the view promises to be spectacular.

This royal garden in the city of Lahore is the culmination of four centuries of careful care. The traditional layout has been retained: a high brick wall surrounds three terraced gardens, linked by a series of fountains and pools. Once you pass the entrance, you will be taken to a tranquil oasis of cool, polished marble, intricate stone pavilions and trails shaded by schinar, gulmohar and cypress trees. It is a perfect place for a romantic picnic - the name Shalimar is finally Sanskrit for "dwelling place of love".
