Do you feel the need for speed? How about dips, drops, spins and g-force? If that is you then Wednesday is your day.

The theme park always has some kind of special event going on, regardless of the season or time of the year.  Best of all, it's only a two hour drive from Southwest Florida making for an easy getaway.

National Roller Coaster Day is Wednesday, August 16th. Busch Gardens has some amazing rides along with some perks to help you celebrate.

Bush Gardens is a magnet for roller coaster lovers. There are so many good ones such as Iron Gwazi, Tigris, Cheetah Hunt, Cobra's Curse and more. Sheikra, Kumba and Montu are iconic rides that never disappoint.  To celebrate all of these thrilling coasters and other rides, Busch Gardens is offering $5 ride photos. I love looking at the expressions of joy and terror on some people's faces. These make for entertaining souvenirs too. In addition, there is a special buy one get one free offer on Coaster Cutout & NanoCoaster models.

Many roller coaster lovers in Southwest Florida are Pass Members and get additional perks. Pass Members can take advantage of the Coaster Challenge. To participate, pick up a card at the Gwazi Pavilion between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Next, hop on each of the participating rides listed. Finally, return the card by 5 p.m. to receive an exclusive coaster lanyard and claim your bragging rights.
