Busch Gardens Skyride with Cheetah Hunt in the background

Skyride Busch Gardens Tampa Bay: The Best Way to Get Around the Park

The Skyride at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is a cable-car that runs across the park. Allowing you to get stunning views of the Florida theme park from 50 feet up in the sky.

This gives you the opportunity to take in the glorious skyline without being worried about the next stomach-lurching drop.

You must be thinking ‘Well, hold on. Aren’t the stomach-lurching drops the reason people go to theme parks?’

I didn’t mention the animals now, did I? 

You get amazing views of these cute cuddly creatures and the not so cuddly ones (all animals are cute) from the top.

I’m talking rhinos, tigers, gazelles, lions and even (wait for it) giraffes and elephants. 

This makes me want to pack my bag and get over there right now!

HIPSTER Review: Busch Gardens Howl-O-Scream 2012

This past weekend I made my way over to Busch Gardens for their annual Howl-O-Scream 2012 event.

To my surprise I had a great time!

Getting there early really helped me optimize my time and I was able to go through five of the six houses.

I skipped the shows this year to focus on the haunted attractions.

I’m excited to take you through each house that I was able to go through for Howl-O-Scream 2012.
