  1. Today is Fabio Day. On March 30th, 1999, I introduced Fabio as the god Apollo and had him escorted to the Apollo’s Chariot roller coaster for the official inaugural ride. The rest is history. youtu.be/54UIsweiRn4?si=FPnvTH

  2. Another Nanocoaster out of the backlog and ready to display! This one is Kumba at Busch Gardens Tampa. This ride really feels like it dealt the death blow to Arrow's more handcrafted coaster design process. Drachen Fire at Busch Gardens Williamsburg was Arrow's attempt to equal a B&M design and it really didn't come close.

    A very enjoyable modern looper, and one of the few B&Ms with this sit-down train design.

  7. Today was the final day to experience the sting of the Scorpion at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. The ride has been a staple at the Florida theme park since 1980 and was one of the first looping roller coasters I ever rode.

  8. Spent a few days in #Tampa to visit #BuschGardens and #SeaWorld and finally ride my 100th #RollerCoaster! Here are a few pictures I took while I was there now that I've had a chance to pull them off the camera.

  13. I rode my favorite roller coaster today, the Alpengeist at Busch Gardens Williamsburg.

    I haven't ridden it for a decade, but it still held up to my memories. Acrobatic, dramatic, intense, and smooth.

    I first rode it thanks to my uncle who took me to the park. He has since passed, but it was a poignant reminder of how I came to this park the first time.

    What's your favorite roller coaster?

  18. Seriously disappointed with all you non #Tesla #EV geeks at #BuschGardens today.

    Not a single “whaddup, nice shirt, nerd.” 🤷🏻‍♂️ #J1772

  19. We're a day or two late, but happy 30th birthday to Kumba at Busch Gardens Tampa, celebrating her 30th birthday this week!

    Opening in April 1993, Kumba is an early B&M coaster design that features a jaw-dropping 114ft vertical loop. Despite her age, Kumba remains a popular ride in the park to this day.

  24. Do you hate #BuschGardens & #SeaWorld's 5% food, beverage, and merch surchargs as much as we do? Consider voicing your support for a new FTC rule designed to ban "junk fees."

    The FTC is currently taking public comments about the issue here: regulations.gov/document/FTC-2

    Here's the specific bit that seems like it would tackle the SEAS surcharge issue head-on:

  25. Interesting read on the state of #disney parks in #orlando from the pass holder perspective. Feels like the park is doing what US companies do and squeezing every ounce of efficiency out of it's operations at the cost of guest experiences.

    Having #buschgardens local here in Tampa that park feels "slow" the last few visits. The Christmas event felt like portions were missing and the staff looked overworked and unenthusiastic.

    Interesting times in #Florida tourism.
