“Life In The So-Called Space Age”
We’ve been on so many ‘4D’ attractions these past few days they tend to run together. ‘Pirates’, here at Busch Gardens was memorable for one reason: it’s utter hatefulness. A 3D film starring Leslie Nielson and Eric Idle, this was neither funny nor interesting nor thrilling in any way. It was cinematic effluvia; its only virtue being that the theatre in which it ran was air conditioned.
Despite being small, shorter and with only one inversion, the Scorpion was much more intense than Montu or Sheikra. I blame this on pre-computer aided design. The thing shook me around like a sackboy. and wasn’t pleasant at all! Only one coaster left to ride – Kumba!
Busch Gardens is a zoo in addition to (or perhaps moreso than) a thrill park. The hippo enclosure was quite beautiful and gave us a much closer look than we got at Animal Kingdom. It was interesting to watch the little fish cleaning the skin of the hippo.
