New attractions for 2008:

This spring, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay presents its newest adventure, Jungala, a four-acre wildlife attraction set in the heart of the Congo. As the most ambitious enhancement to date, Jungala allows guests to discover exotic animals, explore a hidden village, monkey-around on a play area or zoom down the new zip-line experience over orangutans and Bengal tigers.

SeaWorld Orlando’s Aquatica is making a splash in March. This brand new 60-acre water park submerges guests in up-close animal experiences, high speed thrills and sandy beaches. Aquatica features 36 winding and twisting water slides, six relaxing rivers and luxurious lagoons and more than 80,000 square-feet of bountiful beach area.

Guests can explore a new side of Springfield with the Simpson’s on Universal Orlando’s new ride, opening in spring, which rockets guests through an unimaginably hysterical adventure. Debuting this summer at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is Toy Story Mania!, an interactive competitive ride where riders twist and turn through a video game while racking up points alongside Buzz and Woody.

When you wish upon a star in 2008, Walt Disney World’s “Year of a Million Dreams” celebration may grant them. Winners can fly in a hot air balloon above Walt Disney World Resort, star as Disney’s parade Grand Marshal or even spend the night in Cinderella’s castle. Or for bountiful blooms, Epcot’s International Flower & Garden Festival displays Mother Nature at her finest starting earlier than ever this year on March 19 and running a record 75 days until June 1.

The Seminole Tribe of Florida will debut their new Billie Swamp Safari, a new 90-minute, in-depth eco-tour of the Florida Everglades. Beginning April 1, visitors will encounter Florida wildlife like crocodiles, alligators, hogs and birds on this private eco-tour. The only thing separating you from the wilderness is the exclusive swamp buggy. From Feb. 22 – 24 dodge arrows while watching a reenactment of the Second Seminole War. Warriors will dress in authentic attire and display real battle techniques to honor the unconquered Seminole Tribe.

The Big Cypress Market Place, an 87,000 square-foot market in Naples, houses the wares of 150 merchants from clothing and sunglasses to food and electronics. This one-stop-shop for everything on your souvenir list, scheduled to open in March, also has eight restaurants to help keep your shopping strength up.

Visitors to south Florida can show their true colors with the beautiful butterflies of the Naples Botanical Garden. The Wings of Brazil exhibit in the Butterfly House, running from Jan.19 – May 11, houses some of nature’s most stunning insects from around the world.

Tampa’s Lowry Park Zoo is growing again! In celebration of the zoo’s 20th anniversary in 2008, the zoo is pleased to announce the addition of a white “albino” alligator exhibit and water flume ride. Coming this spring, guests can enhance their outdoor adventure by hopping on “Gator Falls,” a water flume ride over a section of the Native Florida Wildlife Center. Ride a log down the “river” and explore Florida’s native wildlife by water, floating through some of the most enchanted parts of old Florida including a rare albino alligator exhibit. Watch out for falling waters as the ride plunges almost 30 feet at the splash down.
