Like other theme parks, Busch Gardens is divided into areas.  You can pick up a map at the entrance.

The areas are:

• Egypt

• Morocco

• Bird Gardens

• Stanleyville

• Nairobi

• Timbuktu

• Congo

• Serengeti Plain

Each area has lots of rides. They range from very mild to absolutely terrifying! Some of them are listed below.

2 Rides to Help You Get Around
1.  The Sky Ride is like a gondola ski lift. It will take you from place to place and give you a great overview of the park.
2.  There's also a train to help navigate the park.

3 Great Water Rides:
1.  Stanley Falls Flume
2.  Tidal Wave
3.  Congo River Rapids

5 World-Class Roller Coasters:
1.  Gwazi
2.  Sheikra
3.  Scorpion
4.  Kumba
5.  Montu

Wild Surge: is a four story plummet (something like the Tower of Terror.) TIP: It looks a lot higher when your on it - at the top - waiting to plunge!

My Personal Favorite: Rhino Rally
This is a great ride! Like "Kilimanjaro Safaris" in Disney's Animal Kingdom, you ride in a free-moving truck. You'll see lots of wildlife close-up. Then there's a twist. Something really unexpected and fun.
Don't miss this ride!

TIP: Ask if your child can be the navigator. Each truck needs one and the navigator gets to sit upfront and help the driver.

Em's Favorites: Cheetah Chase & Ubanga-Banga Bumper Cars
Cheetah Chase has a lot of jerks and sharp turns. You feel like the car is going to leave the tracks every time you lurch around a corner.

Ubanga-Banga Bumper Cars - There's something fun about racing around the track trying to hit or escape from your friends.

Rides for Small Children: Land of the Dragons
This is a special play area for small children. It also has its own theater and scaled down rides.
