Monday at Busch Gardens Tampa as feeder districts head back to school — Hillsborough returns August 10 and Orange August 11, pulling local families out of the parks. Held a point above the raw back-to-school baseline given BGT's persistent underprediction streak and the still-fresh Lion & Hyena Ridge draw. Forecast: Hot with typical afternoon thunderstorms, high 90F.
