Both Original Trains built for Busch Gardens Tampa are now out of service and rotting. The currently Green Locomotive is from Kings Dominion while the Yellow Train is from Six Flags St. Louis. The Red train was retired recently, after it was allegedly damaged, but I can’t confirm that rumor

Here’s a glimpse of the original Journey to Atlantis permits from 1986. The final image reveals the Monster Marsh layout, the attraction that Journey to Atlantis ultimately replaced.

The monorail at Busch gardens went by several names over the years, and 2 generations of trains, by 1999 the ride wasn’t popular and very expensive to keep operating. It took over a decade for it to be replaced by another intamin product, Cheetah Hunt which reused the station and maintenance area!

Water Country USA Originally had a 50’s Sci-Fi theme. For example Aquazoid had a comic book theme, and the kids area had a UFO. This theme is being abandoned in favor of a generic tropical theme.
