A nice news from Adventure Island, one of the most underrated water parks in Florida. It is located right next to Busch Gardens Tampa, but it is considered more of a "locals" water park, due to the fact that most of the visitors tend to skip it and go to either SeaWorld's Aquatica or one of the Disney water parks (Wet 'n' Wild is not as popular, because to its extreme slides and its very poor theming).
Anyway, Adventure Island is extending its opening hours! Take a look at this new post, courtesy of the official Busch Gardens Tampa Blog:
