After you've explored the wilds of Africa at Bush Gardens Tampa, head to this Florida park's Gwazi Coaster. Named after a folkloric lion with a tiger's head, the coaster is two tracks intertwined, and sends riders through 7,000 feet of gut-wrenching drops and continuous spirals. If you're up for it, check out the Congo River Rapids, where you'll encounter a geyser, death-defying waterfall and fast-flowing whitewater.

When it's time for lunch, grab a bite while gazing over the Serengeti Plain. You'll see zebras and giraffes roaming outside your window, and may even enjoy a spirited family stage show.
