Busch Gardens Is Teasing Tampa Bay With A New Attraction

QYK Producer September 23rd, 2022

This is so not fair. We want to know! Busch Gardens is teasing Tampa Bay with a new attraction. Maybe someone can figure out what the theme park is up to.

It all started with a post on the Busch Gardens Twitter account. All it said was: “What’s going on here? Wrong answers only.” There was also a pic of some large pieces of multi-colored metal.

Back in 2019, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay filed permits for BGT Project Jethro which would be built at the site of the park’s former Rhino Rally. That’s where this mystery metal is located.

There’s also a video of construction going on:

There is speculation that the new attraction is similar to the pendulum-style swing ride at SeaWorld San Antonio and Busch Gardens Williamsburg. As of now we can only guess what Busch Gardens is up to. Hopefully there will be more tweets about this mystery attraction. [SOURCE Bay News 9]
