Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is
celebrating five years of hot summer days and cool Summer Nights with
the park’s most ambitious summer event ever. Three months of extended
evening hours run May 25 through August 19 as the 335-acre adventure
park fills with the sights and sounds of special musical entertainment,
festive food and drink, and the opportunity to challenge thrilling
coasters in the dark.
As the sun sets, SheiKra takes riders 200 feet up into the night sky for
a breathtaking view of the Tampa Bay skyline… right before diving into
the dark at a pulse-pounding 70 mph. Starting June 16, America’s First
Dive Coaster introduces a new point of view with completely floorless
cars: Nothing above you but sky. Nothing below you but earth. And
nothing like you've ever experienced.
In the shadow of SheiKra, Stanleyville Theater lights up the night with
the amazing agility of the Dragon Pond Chinese Acrobats. These young
artists return with an all-new show that unites traditional tumbling and
balance skills with a contemporary flair that has earned them
invitations to perform on four ontinents.
Over in Timbuktu, the Desert Grill presents a dizzying selection of
comedic jugglers, with new acts appearing every few weeks. And guests
are invited to get into the action wherever Summer Nights Celebration
appears. You never know where this group of dancers and stilt walkers
will show up, bringing their exotic choreography and elaborate costumes
to the streets and teaching the crowd a couple of new moves. Add four DJ
locations playing pop, Top 40, dance and ‘70s & ‘80s hits throughout the
park, and Summer Nights is non-stop excitement under the stars.
New in 2007, Summer Nights is adding two evening concerts in June. On
June 2, the B-52’s bring their unique retro appeal to Busch Gardens,
performing chart-toppers such as “Love Shack” and “Roam.” Then, KC & the
Sunshine Band shake, shake, shake Gwazi Park on June 9. For America’s
birthday, Busch Gardens will present two more concerts and fireworks in
Gwazi Park on July 3 and 4. The Guess Who present popular hits like
“American Woman" and "These Eyes" on July 3. Then, Grand Funk Railroad
celebrates Independence Day with "We're an American Band," "Loco-motion"
and more. All concerts begin at 7 p.m. Park hours are extended until 9
p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 10 p.m. weekends May 25 through August
4, and from 8 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 9 p.m. weekends August.
5-19.
