Busch Gardens Tampa: General Discussion

I visited Busch Gardens Tampa for a few hours today and I must say I was fairly impressed.

Attractions that remain closed include Stanley Falls Flume, Skyride, Bumper Cars and Kangaloom. Other than that the park is fully operational with the exception of the yet to be opened Iron Gwazi. Scorpion was looking fantastic after it’s repaint earlier in the year.

I visited the park from 10am-1pm and managed 17 rides in that time, could have done more if I had wanted. It was very quiet, concerningly so even.

Construction on the S&S Screamin Swing project that was originally due to open in December this year has grounded to a halt, however construction walls remain in place. It’s likely that this project will face delay rather than cancellation, there is still more than enough time to finish it for Summer 2021.

Despite HHN being cancelled, Howl-O-Scream will return for 2020 from September 25. The event will not feature any mazes this year but instead open air scare zones plus an outdoor Fiends show and the regular late night rides. Unfortunately though the event closes at 11pm or 12am depending on the date of visit this year whereas in previous years close has always been 1am.

Can i also ask, was the Phoenix flat ride open, it was it still SBNO?
 
I knew it was unique itself but it must not be riding great. It's had a good long stay at the park though since 1984 meaning it outlived Gwazi and the Tanganyika Tidal wave!
