Back in the day they used to decorate one of the train tunnels with a HOS billboard and strobe lights
I agree, perhaps some signage is necessary
I would rather see the park reset in the areas viewed by guests
What's next for Busch Gardens Tampa??

Non-IG thoughts from my visit yesterday:
-Ride ops were MUCH improved this time, though I'm guessing it being a Saturday in December has a lot to do with that.
-Biggest surprise was Kumba running really, really smooth. Like, a completely different ride.
-Goddamn, I forgot how fun bumper cars can be.
-The Christmas decorations was quite nice. Really highlights the "Gardens" aspect, and why I think this park has such an underrated atmosphere.
-On the dining, probs the biggest downside of the day was that Zambia will only allow fries as a side, anything else is upcharge, though the portions themselves are still purty good. I finally tried a Twisted Tails pretzel and it was pretty good, though not the heavenly bliss like I've heard from some. Dessert options very limited--Sultans was closed and Moroccan Delight had too long a line.

Heh, I was there yesterday too.
Can confirm!
Mine was actually quite overcooked, yet still pretty good.
Becoming "Coaster Coffee Company" from SeaWorld
Noticed ops at BGT were way better than my trips in the summer this past month. Gwazi is still a #$@& show.
The block sections on IG are ridiculously far apart, the station sits empty for an obnoxious amount of time
A rolling block would have been better, as would stopping the train on the turn right before it enters the station
At least at SWO, the pretzel place has plummeted in quality and selection when compared to the offerings on opening day.
SeaWorld is not only the coaster capital of Orlando, but also the Overflowing Trash Bin capital of Orlando.
Gabriela Cowperthwaite is already working on a riveting documentary about this

Are they beginning to design or dusting off an old design?
Gawd I hate it when parks leave things SBNO and put a wall in front of it like we don't see it

Oh boy, but why?
Area is unpopular with GP, why even bother? Pour that money into some new shows since Pantopia theater is still empty and Turn it up should be on the chopping block soon.
That area of the park can fit a "Firechaser Express" type attraction easily which would revitalize a dead area of the park
The service roads from BGT and Dollywood oddly line up exactly lol
A family coaster is next for BGT. Love my thrill rides, but we need an "easy" ride to get on without worry of getting a headache/upsetting your stomach.

Go for it then ig,
But the park really needs to revive there entertainment options.
Nah, they really don't. They need more family ride options. Shows aren't important.

A family coaster as in "Wave Breaker" type Family Coaster?
That would make the most sense to me.
