Theme Parks Travel: Big Bird coming to Busch Gardens

Busch Gardens Europe in Williamsburg, Virginia is about to add some new stuff even with the looming threat of a sale hanging over its head. The park plans to add a Sesame Street-themed land with hopes of bringing more families to the park--or at least those who have a thing for Big Bird.

The new section will supposedly contain a "European-style" Sesame Street, and plans also call for a small kid-friendly coaster, log flume and water play areas. There will also be new retail and character dining so you can really get the full Sesame experience.

As the park moves forward with the expansion, the Globe Theatre in the England section of the park will be transformed into a 4D movie featuring everyone's favorite characters called "Sesame Street presents Lights, Camera, Imagination!" The park will be working overtime throughout the winter and hopes to have the new addition open by Spring 2009.
