Between my two big trips last year, I had a last-minute long weekend pop up, so I headed north Busch Gardens Tampa Bay and SeaWorld Orlando to check out their new B&M family coasters, Phoenix Rising and Penguin Trek, respectively. This Sunday would also be the final day of operation for Scorpion, a classic Schwarzkopf looping coaster at Busch Gardens. While I've talked about Busch Gardens several times on this podcast, I've never done a full episode on it. So join me for my first impressions of two new Florida roller coasters, a full audio-vlog on Busch Gardens Tampa, and my final rides on Scorpion. I'm also joined by my new friend JJ who I met that day, and we talk Scorpion and the future of the park in this Season 3 finale!
