Re: Busch Gardens Tampa - Drop Tower 2013
Multiple technical issues with the ride and an incident where the drop carriage slammed into the ground at a slow speed.. Basically all of that made it open 4 months later than it was supposed to. It's stil having issues now, and was closed for almost a month earlier this year.

Do we know where sandstorm will be relocated to yet?
And why do williamsburg have an issue with buying intamin?

Part 1: Rumors have Sandstorm going somewhere between Gwazi and Bird Gardens
Part 2: Various issues with Escape from Pompeii. If I remember right the boats displaced the water as far as the train tracks when it started testing, and they were getting stuck in certain areas of the ride (I think the final turnaround or something).

Re: Busch Gardens Tampa | Drop Tower
See this is why I wasn't sure if they really are getting one, because it's taking them forever to say that they are building one and then start building it. The park does have a great coaster line up, but I agree with martyn, they do need some good flat rides.

^There's still time. You can literally throw those things up in a few days. Well not Mach Tower obviously, that whole thing was a huge joke, but usually. I'm not saying it's happening, just that it's not too late to still happen. You'd think there'd be some information or advertising by now though I guess.
