Just wanted to let people know that Sunday, March 17 is the Unofficial opening day of Busch Gardens. The only catch is that you have to be a season pass holder from 2007 or have a season pass for 2008.

Despite the call for bad weather, I will be there.

We were supposed to go Sunday, but my GF wimped out at the last second because of the bad weather. I already have the two season passes. Did anyone go that can tell us if there's anything interesting this year? I haven't been to Busch Gardens since the 90s.

Well, despite the weather being very cold, all of the water rides were going.

I went and really enjoyed it myself. The latest is the Gryphon, which opened just last year. In all honesty, I saw nothing different between (before Howl-O-Scream took over) last year and this year.

If you haven't been to B.G. since the 90's, you're in for a treat. Ireland will be new to you. It's not that big, but it has some great food. Try the soup in a bread-bowl. Heavenly!

Howl-O-Scream, which won't be here till after Labor Day, is also much better than it used to be.
