So sad to see the park so empty but it’s good to know the animals are being cared for at all the various parks , zoos and rescue facilities. Thanks to all the caregivers, for humans and animals, too! Stay healthy, everyone!
This lockdown has really made me appreciate how much of normal life I took for granted. Let’s hope we all come out of this sooner than later. Stay safe Jay. 🙂👍
It’s sad to see businesses closed, everything looks like a ghost town!! But we will be back to normal sometime soon. And the park will be crowded again! Another great video! Thanks Tampa Jay!!!
First comment Jay, man, I really enjoy all of your videos, I also really miss normal life, I know we will get back to normal soon but it is missed. I hope you have a great weekend Jay, stay safe and thank you for your videos.
Blessings over all of you and your Families too all stay well. Everything will be open again soon. As Tampa Jay always says there is Much Ahead... Great Video Tampa Jay...
That year truly pushed the limits of some places and people. Made us wake up in sime ways. Here we are3 yrs later, still trying to recover. Thanks for covering this.
Despite our current situation I noticed that you are still in high spirits and staying positive, life will go on and hopefully that our freedoms are still in tact. Thank you once again for keeping us cheerful and helping us stay strong Tampa Jay my buddy. I was impressed with your Timelapse video in Wal-mart, love timelapse photography. btw: I love Bella, what an awesome doggie you have there and also, my wife has a VW TDI hatchback Jetta, black and 4.0 liter diesel, since she is German I told her she should have a German made car...lol! Take care my friend.
Thanks for getting me out of the house today 😉 What do you have inside your mask? A maxi pad? Some toilet paper? An old sock? 😂🤣😁 Be careful out there, my friend 💕😊
Doin well TJ! Good to see you again! wow - Busch gardens so different to the last time you took us there! Man, looking forward to see it all come alive again (soon I hope!). It's interesting anyways to see things from a different perspective .... deserted. Wow - hard core metal band - dope! Hell - you got around that supermarket super quick - LOL! Yeah man - shoot those suckers down - we don't need them. Always love your vids, buddy!
Me myself am an anon I am woke. 2050 is year of gas masks. Not to be political. But in 2014 it was foretold that a pandemic could be a reality. This is called a woke person. Jay This is a sad sight. I live in ybor all 40 years of life and am unfortunately not surprised.....As always. Good video
Busch Gardens is on my list of places to go once everything opens back up! Lived here for three years and have only been twice. Also, can't wait to support all the local restaurants and breweries that have been closed since this all began. Stay safe!
@@TampaJay That's for sure! :) She reminds me of my Pug, Joey Bear (Rest His Soul!) He was always happy like that too!!! :) Stay Safe and Stay Healthy, my Friend! :)
Wow, so empty! I live just a couple of miles away and never really gave it much thought about how empty the lots are on McKinley (40th St.)with Busch and Adventure Island closed even though I drive on Busch, Bouganvillea, 30th and 40th quite often.. I worked in the Gardens as a college student back in the late '80s when the brewery was still open (used to park in the employee lot off of 30th St), fun job, 2 free cases of beer a month and free passes to the park with a flexible schedule though the pay was a bit below average but if you got off work early you could visit the hospitality house! Yeah man! Mel's hot Dogs have always been the bomb since I was a little kid back in the '70s; great Chicago dog, Kielbasa and a few other terrific items! Jay, you played at the Pegasus by Limbaugh and 30th??? That used to be quite the spot for USF students and us locals some 20+ years back even before the new owner (think her name is Julie) bought it! The wife and I went there quite a few times way back then before young Amy came along and we transitioned from weekend warriors to parents..... My daughter says it is still around but it moved to up on Florida near Bearss and according to her is now a bit more upscale than in my day (I am more of a Skipper's Smokehouse guy nowadays if we ever get out of lockdown).. Anyhow it was a great college-local hang out, right up there with The Greenery across from Fontana Hall. Thanks for mentioning that place, brings back some good memories. Great post and nice touch with the stop at WallyWorld on the way home and the nice shots of Bella! Stay positive and well everyone!
I played at Pegasus my friend all very long time ago they were one of the only places that would give us a show when we first started out. I can remember the smell of that place today I’m sure it was the same for you ha ha Ha thanks buddy I appreciate you watching I hope you and the family are doing well
Bella looks like such a sweet girl ❤️I was so glad to see you clean your phone after touching it in the store with your gloves 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Even though it’s necessary it’s sad to see the parks and such all closed BUT that mask in Walmart made up for the sadness 🤣😂🤣. Was kind of hoping you’d blow up that COVID can with an M-80 lol. See you next time ✌🏼😎
That hot dog joint is the only World War ii-era building left from the Army Air corps field that existed where Busch Gardens property is. There is actually a small piece of the Airfield Runway that still exists in between both parks.
Wow now that is fascinating I had no idea there used to be a base there I knew about the one in Zephyrhills and I visited that one before. Thank you for sharing
Getting pretty tired of sitting at home doing nothing. Might have to get me one of them nerf guns pretty soon too if this keeps up... only I'll probably be pointing it at my head!
Strieter Marine Survey What the hellbare you talking about? How are you hurting? I’m not a mind reader - you diss d my comment thanking caregivers and now you are complying I hurt your feelings! I don’t know who you are but don’t be such a smart speck! Don’t post any more comments- go take a pain pill, get some sleep and, like I said in my original post, stay healthy!

Totally different Eerie
5:21 it looks like an abandoned theme park. I don’t know why but it does

Iron Gwazi looks tremendous! Also, I liked the sequence where you shoot the cans. Better times are coming!
Thanks man. Yes they most definitely are a comin’
Saw on Twitter about your video 👍

Love to see you have the essentials to go out with, including, Nerf Gun! Cause you never know! LOL! I see the parking lot and think

Thank you Sally thank you so much I hope you’re doing well
The roads near Busch Gardens give me so much nostalgia, isn't there a gyro place near there?
A day in the life of Tampa Jay and Bella. 😁
Yes just me and Bella hanging out all the time now :-) thank you Dani
This was honestly a very frightening time in history.
That hot dog joint is the only World War ii-era building left from the Army Air corps field that existed where Busch Gardens property is. There is actually a small piece of the Airfield Runway that still exists in between both parks.

@@TampaJay Thanks for doing all these videos for us to see.
Interesting fact the Mel's hot dog car doesn't run, last time it moved was the hurricane a few years ago, they towed it out.
That is interesting to know it’s been sitting there a long time. I could really go for a hotdog right now! Thank you Kevin hope you’re doing well
Getting pretty tired of sitting at home doing nothing. Might have to get me one of them nerf guns pretty soon too if this keeps up... only I'll probably be pointing it at my head!
Do not self terminate! Nerf or nothing my friend! Thinking about booking up my Nerf arsenal myself
Bahaha that's so funny I live there in Tampa. I go to the Starbucks your infront of
:( so sad. I hope I get to visit soon. Kids are like Yay Disneyworld and I’m like 😎ohhhohho wait. For. Busch Gardens!!!
Always love Mel's. Are they not offering take-away orders?
It’s so good man ! Yes, they were open car take out
So sad they don't feed or take care of the animals during these times I hope they are all okay! 😉 joking of course!
Strieter Marine Survey Do you understand what a joke is? Show some gratitude to the caregivers instead!

Hello Tampa 🙋♀️
Bella wants to go for a car ride too.
Yes she does lol :)
how do you breathe in that mask ? another great video man.
william weir ha ha it’s actual not to bad - thanks for watching buddy hope your doing well
👍🏻
Drones not allowed?
Very unlikely I’m pretty sure it’s a no fly zone because of the roller coasters :)
As someone that works for Busch yes please do not fly drones in the park lol.
Can't wait to get back to work
😖😡I cant hear your video hardly at all so frustrating. Oh 🙄moved my finger 😂I can hear 😂😂😂😂
Do they run the rides everyday atleast
𝓜𝓲𝓬𝓻𝓸𝓼𝓸𝓯𝓽 yes. I have some friends that work there. They are maintaining the park - rides and animals are being taken care of :)
Next time you are in the neighborhood, stop at Mel's Hot Dogs. Tampa landmark ❤
I showed it in the video but I had already eaten - it’s one of my faves
@@TampaJay Mel is an awesome guy. Would make a good vlog/interview.
I’ve actually vlogged it before - I went on National Hot dog day, but I haven’t met Mel. I need to go back sometime
covid got double tapped!
