Well, the announcement came out today, and it looks like Busch Gardens in Tampa is going to be adding one fantastic addition next year! The first "dive machine" every to be built in the US (similar to Oblivion in Great Britain), but bigger and better! With 2 vertical, 90 degree drops, an immelman loop, and an underground tunnel, it won't be a one trick pony. That's for sure. And it looks like it's going to blend in very well with the rest of the park.

It's nice living so close to a park, and a high quality one at that. With it so close, it's easy to make several small visits frequently. That makes it a great place to take short time outs when it gets stressful, frustrating, or just needing some time away and to relax a bit. And with BGT being so beautifully landscaped, and with lots of little "niches" and quiet areas, it's a great destination. Especially with it's great mix of coasters, animals, and entertainment. It truly does offer something for everyone.

And with the announcement, the next few months should be interesting and fun. It's fascinating to watch them build a coaster (I was fortunate enough to see them build a couple in CA), and I'm looking forward to watching this as it's built and put together. And in just a few months it'll be ready to ride. That's when the excitement will really begin.
