Busch Gardens/Jungala/Claw Island

[wwessing]

Ok, so I don't know much about Busch Gardens. . .and now even less since Jungala is open.

Can someone explain where, in the park, Jungala is located. Has Claw Island been closed? Those animals moved to Jungala now??

I have not been able to find any clear information about this.

Please can someone explain the changes in Busch Gardens Tampa.

Jungala is part of what used be Congo. It replaces Claw Island.

The new area has three major components: a tiger habitat, an orangutan habitat (both of them spectacular!) and an interactive play area aimed at kids 6 to 13. In the play area will be a zip line ride, for kids 6 to 13 only. It is not open yet (although I heard it might open today, Sunday the 13th). Thedre's another tweenie ride, a sort of mini version of the Dr. Doom type ride except that you don't get shot upward.

All in all, Jungala is a major success. The two new eateries are pretty blah, but you won't be going there for fine dining.
