Jungala is its own section to the park, not part of the Congo. On the maps, the sections are color coded into different parts, and it looks as if Jungala is separate from the Congo. I changed this on the page...pleease correct and tell me if I'm wrong.-- 24.63.18.184 ( talk) 03:03, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

For those of you who are that worried about calling the new construction Jungala, chill out. That is what it is being called right now. Also, what happened to the logo? it was good enough for now. And, if this logo is officialy proved wrong, then it could at least stay there so viewr\ers can get a fell of the theme. And if you say they might change the theme, they could, but why would they since it's in the Congo section? Anywho, thats just my take on the whole thing.-- 24.63.18.184 01:55, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
I've heard that the park is now officially named Busch Gardens Africa (with the Williamsburg park now called Busch Gardens Europe). Maybe we could implement this into this article somehow (maybe even renaming the article) WillMcC 11:24, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
How can you muppets say BGA has 12 rides? Thrill and flat? Helloooo? Sort it out God damn it.
The article seems to imply that Busch Gardens did not start charging admission until after the brewery was demolished. Actually, the brewery and theme park coexisted for several years. Admission was charged as early as the 1970's, when several of my friends and relatives worked there, but the brewery did not close until the mid-1990's.
Also, I never remember there being an extra charge for any of the rollar coasters.
Regarding the "Congo/Jungala" name claim. Yes, I know there were some patents out for the name "Jungala." But it could be for anything and not just "this is the name of the new land." Also, a claim by a ride operator (see Python page) is not a reliable source and seems like weasel words.
Until SOMETHING OFFICIAL comes from the park itself, refrain from unverified claims.

Does the name "Busch Gardens Tampa Bay" appear on the official website. I can not find it there. Snowman ( talk) 17:56, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
The park is known as Busch Gardens Tampa or Busch Gardens Tampa, FL Tampa Bay is a body of water.
Please revise the title accordingly.
All of their official press releases use the name "Busch Gardens Tampa," so this would seem to be the official name. Wikipedia's trademark guideline says not to include the ®. Mr. Z-man 17:02, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
This article lacks a history section, which is the reason I came to the article. I would reccomend that someone more know,eadgable than I write one. IanSan5653 ( talk) 04:41, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
How can it be a 19th century park, when it opened in the 50s of the 20th century? Hg2014 ( talk) 23:24, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
It's completely unsourced, appears to reflect the opinion of the author, and doesn't seem particularly encyclopedic. Move to drop. Boomshadow talk contribs 12:50, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Clicking through some of the sources I discovered that the link to the source number 10, "Telly's Jungle Jam Rwview | Busch Gardens Tampa". Total Orlando. Retrieved September 14, 2015. is broken/leads to an error 404 page. The citation also incorrectly spells the word "Review" as "Rwview" Clairepatzner ( talk) 06:29, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
