Busch Gardens - Sesame Street Safari of Fun

[Stu]

Sesame Street Safari of Fun is the new childrens area at Busch Gardens currently scheduled to open 27th March 2010.

Sesame Street Safari of Fun replaces the area called Land of the Dragons. Existing rides have been renamed to fit in with Sesame Street theming. The area has also been doubled in size with the addition of some new attractions including a new rollercoaster that they are marketing as a childs first rollercoaster.

“This new attraction is going to be unlike anything families have encountered before, with unique African-inspired costumes for Elmo, Big Bird and their friends, and exciting adventures for families to share,” said Donnie Mills, Busch Gardens’ executive vice president and general manager. “With the addition of Sesame Street Safari of Fun, Busch Gardens truly has something for all ages, and this new destination in the park is certain to be a hit among families and kids."
