Is that nice, big wood roller coast still going strong there?
No knock against the park, but it's about all I remember from a visit to
Busch Gardens in Tampa a few years ago.

This one ?

Yup.
Personally I like watching the animals. This may end up being the last
place on earth where African animals exist.
We were there on the 19th and the place was virtually empty. You could
just walk up and get on any ride you wanted with a couple minute wait.
We were in the front car of that roller coaster in 3 minutes. There
were empty seats in the middle. The longest wait was for the Land
Rover trip through the animal preserve and it was only about 15
minutes.
This is an unedited assortment of pictures.

That sure looks like the one I remember. Great coaster. I don't much
like the more modern steel coasters.

If by "this," you mean western animal parks and zoos, you are correct.
If you haven't been, I recommend both the San Diego Zoo and the San
Diego Animal Park. If you get to the zoo early in the AM and spend the
entire day walking to just about every exhibit and animal shelter, up
and down all the trails, you will have not only seen a great zoo, but
you will also have gotten a good exercise workout!

You need to remove the .ZIP portion of that URL for it to work. Your
"brick shed," btw, is similar to my CMU shed out by the Shenandoah:

Old photo -work in progress back them - before I completed it. Three
weekends of blocklaying that just about killed my back.
