What’s Happening:
- Busch Gardens Tampa Bay released a statement saying that a guest reported hitting his hand on a beam while riding Iron Gwazi.
- Out of an abundance of caution, the morning after this situation, crews removed two beams from the area where the guest reported this situation occurred.
