Home to nine stomach-churning coasters, Busch Gardens is the best place in town to test your courage. Everything from the double-wooden coaster Gwazi, Kumba's three seconds of weightlessness, Montu's 3.85 G-forces and of course ShieKra's 90-degree drop makes Busch Gardens' coasters a must experience.
Though it is shy on vegetable farmers, the market does offer local eggs and black mangrove honey, and there's no shortage of home-cooked treats, biscotti, berry pies, spice mixes, coffees, cheesy corncakes, granola, salsas, everything an ambitious foodie with a spare weekend and space in the garage can make. Best of show: The Bread Artisan. Come often and bring money.
