Busch Gardens Tampa

Updated 2026-08-06

Kumba, Busch Gardens' longest-running coaster since 1993, closed for good on August 2 after its Farewell Weekend. The new Lion & Hyena Ridge habitat opened July 25 and is drawing steady extra crowds in its debut weeks. Bier Fest Brews & BBQ continues most weekends through early September. Crowds ease noticeably once Hillsborough returns to school August 10.
