BUSCH GARDENS!!!!

On Friday it was our first Theme Park Friday!!
We went to Busch Gardens, a theme park located in Tampa, 30 miles away from Lakeland.

When we arrived we took some maps of the park to know where to go and what to ride. We were all very excited because we'd heard that there were some really cool rides!!

First thing we did was ride Cheetah Hunt, a roller coaster that simulates a cheetah that is hunting. It's great because the ride is really, really fast and you can feel the speed on your face and body. 

Then, we went into Montu, an inverted roller coaster with lots of loopings and twists. It was awesome and some of us got the chance to ride in the first row!! That was off the hook!!

After that we had lunch at one of the many restaurants in the park and then we wanted to go into some more rides but we found them closed as there was lightning all over the park and they preferred to shut the rides and wait for the storm to pass.

And luckily the storm finally passed and we could continue going to some more rides. Our next one was one called Sheikra, a roller coaster with two vertical falls and one looping... That's what we call an adrenaline rush!!! We all get off wanting more, but unfortunately by that time, the queue was too long and there were other rides waiting for us. 

The last rides we went in were the typical flumes and another roller coaster similar to Dragon Khan. After riding those two we started going to our meeting point in the main entrance of the park.

We had an amazing time there and we enjoyed a lot (except for the storm thing) and we can't wait for this Friday to go to Disney World!!! We bet it's going to be awesome!!!
