1. I was there six years ago. Did you feed the Lories?

And did you see the white peacock spread his tail feathers?

So many wonderful photos. Thanks!

[William769]

2. Yes to the first, no to the second.

I have plenty more pictures to share, I just have to find my other SD cards.

Glad you enjoyed the pictures.

3. Back when Frodo was a baby, a Rainbow Lorie fell in love with me.

That cute little bird would turn itself upside down trying to get m to take him home.
It was the wrong time for me to bring home another bird.
I will be looking forward to more photos from you.

4. I saw a camel have a baby there, while I was eating lunch ..

at a restaurant. The camel did it standing up, while we ate. I thought it was so cool.

This must have been in the mid '60s.

You have some very nice pictures, by the way. It appears to have changed somewhat since I was last there.

6. Glad you like the pictures.

Bush Gardens usually adds something or changes something at least once a year & Sea Worlds new roller coaster (The Manta) is probably the best one I have ever ridden & I have ridden a lot of coasters.

19. Great pics! Thanks for sharing them! Love the white peacock...

Did he fan his tail out while you were observing him?

20. Cool pics! I'm glad to hear your review on Manta too

My wife literally just got hired at Seaworld - as I type this she is at her new hire orientation. I plan to ride the heck out of that Manta!



I was disappointed to find out that they no longer give employees free cases of beer though.

[William769]

22. That's because they sold the Company last year to a Foreign Cooperation

There is nothing like Manta at least that I have ever ridden. Once you are buckled in then they restrain your dangling legs your seat is lifted so you look like your flying like a bird & with all the twists & turns & loops, I never knew if I was upside down or not.

P.S. I ended up riding it six times in a row.

P.S.S. I hope your wife gets the job.

24. Apparently the company they sold to

also owns or has interest in Universal Studios too. She called and said we get passes to there too!


She's nervous because this is the first job she's had in 10 years or so - she'd been taking care of our granddaughters until they got old enough to not need it so much any more. She'll be in one of those photo booths selling pictures they take of you on the rides.

Lol, she saw the job opening online and filled it out on a whim and was shocked when they called her in for an interview last week. More shocked when they offered her the job - she figured she was too old. She won;t be making a ton of cash but it will help take some pressure off. Our house and cars are paid off so it's all gravy.


Thanks again for sharing the pics and glad you had a good time in our corner of the world!

25. I have season passes to the Parks (I live in S.W. Florida)

I will probably meet her & not even know it! LOL.
