Busch Gardens Tampa Misc Refurbs

Can't figure out why this walkway is closed . . .

Any clue OF?

They have it closed most of the time now, I think it is to influence traffic through Jungalia.
I think they should use that walkway as a scarezone.

I was thinking that might be the case. Would have thought they could have found a better way to execute this.

Why, are they having trouble with getting people to go through Jungala these days? It always seems to be almost too busy whenever I go there...

It is off season, but still, I hate flow control like this. Makes it more difficult for locals who only want to do certain things. Of course with school back, they probably have less locals except for weekends.

All this construction makes me want to visit again, havent been there since they opened Rhino Rally (and im only 2 hours away too).

Was at the parks Tuesday, great day overall! Transportation staff was solid, gate staff efficient. backside of the "walk of heros" visible from the train could use a coat of paint and a little drainage work. If you gave me a bit of money one thing I would change is the queue setup at Kumba. It is very inefficient and confusing for guests

Found this interesting tidbit today

Permit for new "Kumba Parking Lot"

 

[GAcoaster]

I'd guess they're trying to move more of the parking out of the middle of the park and out to the edge. When they have to park employees in the guest lot like they do now, it just makes sense to add more parking somewhere else on property. I wish Disney would do more of this...

Could this mean that there will more space available for exansion in the Gwazi area?

 

[Octobers Fade]

Possibly, it might be so they can work from that area while they refurb the gwazi area also.

 

[knokout1]

I would imagine it's making it larger for work to the Gwazi area, or possibly Summer Nights when the lot near Gwazi closes, the Kumba lot is never full (except when the garage is closed).

I think the city of Tampa changed their website, I am having trouble accessing the page (master situs ). Can someone double check for me?

Since it fits here...I didn't want to create a new thread for this. Looks like Sand Serpent may be reopening soon.

From Screamscape: Busch Gardens Tampa

(5/16/17) According to a park guests, the reported seeing crews testing the park's Sand Serpent coaster last week, which means that it could reopen in the near future after sitting closed since the start of the year for an unknown issue.
