Busch Gardens Tampa has closed its Jambo Junction animal encounter, which has disappointed and even angered some park fans.
Since I haven't visited BGT in ages, my only take on this is it seems like another example of SeaWorld/Busch Gardens scaling back from its former mid-tier status - between Disney and the regional parks - down to the regional park level, from which CEO Joel Manby came to the parks.
But I'd love to hear from people in Central Florida about this. Is it a big deal? Or just an adjustment on the way to better things?
" Thats's not the Elephants? " was my first Fought - but that must be the - I call it "petting Area" near Cobras Curse - with Kangaroos, cute Lemurs and Deers.
For ME that has nothing to do with a Themepark is getting back in Size if they tranfer a Zoo-Ride-Show-Park in a Reg. Themepark - but unfortuenately that even is not the Case here as Busch continous to be an animal-focused Company.
The Closure is part of 320 positions that would eleminate across all their 12 Parks

Wasn't Jambo Junction where the flamingo incident took place? While I don't think that'd be the only reason for it closing, it may have been a major one.
