Occasional Photo Updates
Occasionally I have photo updates but no real place for them so I will use them here.
Below are photos of various things of interest.
After the escape of one of there Orangutans from there enclosure at Busch Gardens in Tampa they have decided to redesign the cage. Looks as though they have made the walls of the enclosure smooth so that the animals can not climb out again.

Sea World Florida's New Smart Guide
For those of you that can't get enough of those fancy gadgets and gizmos something new has shown up at Sea World in Orlando, Florida. The park has a new in the park GPS information device called Shamu's SmartGuide. Loaded with all kinds of park information, video displays and interactive maps. The unit has a full park map which you can click on a ride or area and a video will display as to what you can do at a certain ride. Directions and distance to rides from where you are in the park, show times and all kinds of other park information. This is a test program and will likely show up at other Busch parks soon but Sea World is the only park currently with the GPS system. There should be information on Sea Worlds Website in the coming weeks. The cost is $18.00 plus tax so its something like $19.25 total and I figure you have to leave a Credit Card for collateral.

Mind Freak Building Escape and Implosion..
This evening around 10:00 pm Chris Angel a magician know as the Mind Freak performed a stunt at Clearwater Beach, Florida. Around 50,000 fans of the Freak showed up for his latest stunt. Chris would be taken into a building that was set for implosion, locked in handcuffs and locked in a room. He then had to escape the bindings and make his way to the roof of the building before it was imploded. Chris did not make it to the helicopter and the building was imploded. Moments later the building came down but amazingly Chris emerged from the building unharmed.
First 2 photos are the building, then Chris going in the building, then the escape by helicopter.
Photos in order, BOOM and the building came down.
The stunt was performed on July 30th at the Spy Glass Hotel on Clearwater Beach.
