Busch Gardens' rumors continue

We have some potential new informations regarding the new coaster and a new rumor about a new Ice-Show replacing "Katonga"!

Here is the article from Screamscape (I've highlighted the most important informations):

"According to a couple of insiders, Busch Gardens Tampa is preparing to close down Katonga forever by August, so if you haven’t seen it, you’ve got the next 6 months to do so. [...] The popular rumor is that the park may be bringing back a new ice show to replace it as BGT was always famous for their very popular Ice Shows from years past. In other news, I’m told that currently Gwazi Lion and the Stanley Falls log ride are also closed for seasonal rehab work. Stanley Falls will remain closed through to March 5th.  

Meanwhile the official Busch Gardens Tampa website has posted some other interesting news to their ride rehab page. Mixed in with the other rehabs, it mentions that the railroad will close in Mid April through to the end of May, which will immediately be followed by the closure of the Skyride on June 1st through to at least the end of 2010, and likely even longer. Sounds like work for the 2011 project will be starting before you know it. Other upcoming rehabs of interest will include:

Rhino Rally – 3/8/10 through 3/12/10

Train – 4/17/10 through 5/27/10

Kumba – 5/1/10 through 5/27/10

Gwazi Gliders – 5/10/10 through 5/14/10

Wild Surge – 5/17/10 through 5/21/10

Skyride – 6/1/10 through 12/31/10

Phoenix – 8/23/10 through 9/2/10

Bumper Cars – 8/1/10 through 11/30/10

Sandstorm – 9/7/10 through 9/12/10

Congo River Rapids – 9/20/10 through 10/8/10

Tanganika Tidal Wave – 10/11/10 through 10/29/10"

So it seems that there will be too many rehabs in 2010, and this may confirm the rumor of the new coaster for Busch gardens Tampa! So in 2010 we may have the new coaster, a new ice show and maybe even more, who knows? 

What do you think?
