Summer Nights in Full Swing at Busch Gardens

One thing to look for during the Florida Summer Heat is ways to cool off. There are a variety of ways. Many involve a cool building, water, the wind blowing in your face, and relaxation in the evening when the sun sets. GREAT NEWS!!!!!!  Busch Garden
s offer all of these!!!! Here is the press release in its entirety of summer nights with some comments after wards of the excitement to be had:

TAMPA, Fla. (May 24, 2019) – Starting next Friday, May 31, the thrills go late and the fun lasts longer at Busch Gardens® Tampa Bay with the return of Summer Nights. The party heats up when the sun goes down, including extended hours every night through August 11 and fireworks each Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The park’s limited-time Memorial Day Sale includes the best deals of the season to enjoy all Summer Nights has to offer at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay.
 
Music, entertainment and more create a vibrant nightlife atmosphere surrounding Florida’s best thrill rides. In addition to fan-favorite coasters, thrill seekers can now take on Tigris, Florida’s tallest launch coaster, in an exciting new way after dark. The triple-launch coaster takes thrills to new heights as riders face a 150’ upward surge, dramatic heartline roll and top speeds exceeding 60 miles per hour through the night sky.
 
Park guests can also enjoy special-edition menu items that feature a new twist on traditional summer fare. 
·         Classic popcorn gets a makeover with an infusion of buffalo ranch and white cheddar flavors.
·         Summer tastes sweeter with a churro sundae or a fireworks ice cream slushy.
·         The grilled cheese of childhood memories is transformed as a mac and cheese melt, also available with lobster.

·         Grown-up indulgences include colorful handcrafted cocktails and pop-tails (new frozen treats with alcohol) in addition to the continued free beer offer as a part of the park’s 60th anniversary celebration. 

Now, I did forget relaxing with a beer or cocktail which Busch Gardens does have. You get your 2 free beers a day. Become a member of the Brew Club and enjoy craft beers for $2.60 on every visit and drink out of your very own personal stein. Of course the specialty cocktails are always a treat on the hot days. 

Now back to cooling off on my previous examples:

COOL BUILDINGS: Watch the hottest show on ice with Turn It Up. Or see the animals take charge of an Inn in Critters Inn Charge. Or listen to the era of Doo Whop as the Busch Gardens singers take the stage during lunch in Rock A Doo Whop 

WATER: What better way to cool off than a nice water ride such as The Congo River Rapids and the Stanley Falls Flume. You can also not ride anything and hang out at the base of Shiekra and let the splash overcome you.

WIND IN YOUR FACE: Busch Gardens is the roller coaster capital of Florida!!!! Need I say more?  You can also ride Serengeti Express for a more relaxed and thrill-free breeze in the face.

RELAXATION IN THE EVENING: ON every Friday and Saturday there will be fireworks at Busch Gardens. What a way to end the evening after a full day enjoying Summer Nights.

These are just examples and surely not all inclusive. Busch Gardens has something for everyone as you know or will find out.
