ANIMAL HABITATS
EGYPT
King Tut's Tomb exhibit is a
dream for any one interested in
archeology. They recreate the findings of the 1920's
archaeological discovery that opened a window on the world
of the “boy king” who reigned
in Egypt more than 3000 years
ago.
The Montu is an inverted roller coaster named for an Egyptian god of war. That ever thrill seeker would love it has seven intense inversions it climbs high into the air into a twisting drop, a 60-foot vertical loop and Immelman loop and a zero-G roll.
The Sky-ride lets you be high in the air and you get to see so many other rides in action -Cheetah Hunt as it races by, The Serengeti Railway train and Rhino Rally. Then you have the very best part seeing the ANIMALS.
This is Busch Gardens newest roller coaster opening in 2011. It is over four thousand feet in length has 3 separate launches throughout the ride and its max speed is 60mph. Any roller coaster rider would love this ride.

tropical birds from around
the world. Get up close to

sight of a flock of

Lory Landing
Lory Landing is a great place
to take a break from the
intensity of the coasters and
the press of the crowds.
Watching the little kids hold
the lorikeets on their hands
and feed them nectar from
the cups is just plain fun.

the newest areas in the park. Enjoy an opportunity to hand feed kangaroos and free-roaming wallabies. Catch the contagious laugh of the kookaburra and meet other Down Under friends such as magpies, black swans and tawny frogmouths.
There are two water rides in Stanleyville the Tidal Wave on
the right and the Stanley Falls Flume on the bottom. Cruise
a gentle and beautiful stretch of African river country until

the waters below. That’s where the Tidal Wave happens, as
a monstrous, drenching splash engulfs you and any
bystanders who don’t move away in time; or Cool off in
exciting log-flume style on splashy twists and turns, and
then on to a drenching 40-foot drop to the base of roaring
Stanley Falls
Climb 200 feet to the edge of a 90-degree drop that inches you over the edge and stops and surrenders you to a dive straight down into a 70 mph coaster whirlwind with a loop then a second dive into an underground tunnel and a splashdown finale that drenches
