I'm awaiting passes, and express passes, and any possibly combos including hotels. We'll probably go again for 4-5 days, our 4th visit to HHN starting in 2018. We're hooked!

In addition to the new and fresh look around the park, we’re in the process of upgrading our front gate to elevate and streamline your arrival to the park.
This summer we are adding more entertainment throughout the park. The additions are so big that we are introducing a new event called Summer Celebration! Get ready for a new show in Gwazi Plaza, the return of a fan favorite, Cirque Electric, a new acapella group called Finish the Phrase in Dragon Fire Grill, and the Pantopia theater will reopen this summer! There is no need to wait for summer to experience entertainment at Busch Gardens. The Busch Gardens Food & Wine Festival is in full swing now, and we have some exciting concerts that are FREE with park admission! Don’t miss WALK THE MOON on April 9, Chris Janson on April 10, Kansas on April 23, and 3 Doors Down on April 30. For the full list of concerts, visit our website. Additionally, we are excited to announce the return of Sesame Street Kids’ Weekends starting April 30!
There are so many new and exciting things coming to our parks that we need a place to celebrate all the changes with you! This spring we are opening a new Pass Member lounge located at one of the best venues in Busch Gardens: the top floor of the Serengeti Overlook Restaurant!

Beast was not operating for season passholder preview day yesterday. No signs of construction anywhere, so it may be that they don't have the personnel to run it. There were lots of rides not operating yesterday. We were only there for a couple of hours, and only made 1 short loop through part of the park. What we saw not being operated was : Adventure Express, Windseeker, Beast, and Eiffel Tower. Although ET may have been because of the high winds. Today's weather is worse - we just had rain go through overnight and temps are forecasted to not get above 53 in Dayton, probably 55 in Cinci. Temps on Sunday will start below freezing and the highs will not go above today's. So I would not be surprised if it isn't operating this weekend.

But the good news is that the Grand Carousel makeover is gorgeous! The horses and other parts are beautiful. And it has a complete working band organ. The only thing that would make it even better is if they could have a true ring system, but without outside jumpers that isn't feasible.
