It may not have as many visitors as Universal Orlando or Disney World, but Busch Gardens has the others beat when it comes to rollercoasters. But before you climb in to one, make sure you let the food digest. That'll be more of a challenge in a few months for many of you because the park announced today that they will be the first in Florida to have their own Chick-fil-A location.

This fall, the first Florida theme park to open a Chick-fil-A will be Busch Gardens Tampa Bay.

The Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Chick-fil-A location will open this fall replacing Bengal Bistro. It'll be in the Jungala area of the park near the tigers and orangutans where guests will soon enjoy those chicken sandwiches, waffle fries, lemonade and more. The restaurant will be open for business Monday through Saturday, just like a normal Chick-fil-A location, but also like the others, it'll be closed on Sunday.

My favorite thing at Busch Gardens...

I can't believe it took me dozens of visits to Busch Gardens to finally notice this!
