Gardens® Tampa
Add Exciting Entertainment and World-Class Coasters
in the Dark, and Busch Gardens is THE Place to Be Every Night This
Summer!
Tampa, Fla. (June 3, 2013) -
Busch Gardens’ Summer Nights amps up the excitement year-after-year,
and 2013 promises to offer even more after-dark entertainment and fun for the
whole family with a new rock-n-roll musical production at the Desert Grill and
the return of guests’ favorites, including an energizing acrobatics show
featuring Kinetix, and an amazing fireworks finale every night of the event.
Starting this Saturday, June 8 through Aug. 18, guests will
experience extended park hours, special entertainment, high-energy DJs, and the
thrill of riding world-class coasters in the dark, including Busch Gardens’ triple-launch coaster
Cheetah Hunt®.
The award-winning Kinetix
show returns to Summer Nights with nightly performances of its rock-fueled blast of music and
acrobatics. The show’s energizing performances include live
musicians, singers, dancers and artists from around the world. Their thrilling
performance, along with modern music and pyrotechnic effects, will pump up the
crowd every night in Gwazi Park at 9 p.m.
Gates open at 8 p.m., so arrive
early to ensure a good spot and enjoy the Party Starters’ pre-show interactive
games and dancing.
NEW! Born to
Rock
Feel
the beat and get ready to let loose with Busch Gardens Tampa’s Born to
Rock! Follow along with Arvin as he unexpectedly finds himself in the middle of
a rock-n-roll musical production, filled with mash-ups of contemporary music and
high-energy choreography. A live guitarist, belly dancers and a top-notch circus
round out this excitingly wonderful whirlwind of color and music.
Fireworks Light Up the Sky Every
Night
Celebrate the perfect end to the evening with an amazing
fireworks finale. Busch Gardens lights up the sky every night of the
event with an incredible aerial display set to popular music. The best views are
in Gwazi Park, right after the nightly Kinetix show, but the fireworks are
visible from all over the park.
On Thursdays, Fridays and
Saturdays, the Party Starters will host dance challenges all day throughout the
park and pick the most outgoing guests to compete in the Dance-Off competition
that evening. The Dance-Off will be a three-round competition starting at 7 p.m.
in the Desert Grill. The audience picks the winner with “the best moves” by
applause, and first prize is four tickets to come back to Busch Gardens
Tampa.
Don’t forget that Busch
Gardens is the place to be this summer – both day AND night – with
brand-new attractions that offer exciting entertainment for everyone. See
Busch Gardens’ biggest ice show ever, Iceploration, bringing to
life an all-new adventure filled with world-class skaters, original costumes,
amazing aerial performances, master puppetry and live animal stars. The park’s
Animal Care Center welcomes guests to closely observe and even take part
in the animal care experience in this new state-of-the-art facility. And the
park’s mega-attraction and Florida’s first triple-launch coaster, Cheetah
Hunt®, launches riders from 0 to 60 in a matter of seconds. If going from
zero to cheetah is not your speed, guests can watch as Busch Gardens’
cheetahs sprint several times a day in Cheetah Run.
Park hours for Summer Nights are
extended until 9 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays and until 10 p.m. Fridays and
Saturdays. Summer Nights is included with daily admission or any annual
