Sand Serpent at Busch Gardens Tampa is permanently closing on July 9th

It doesn't break my heart but I think a problem the SEAS parks have had for a while is the gap between kiddie land and the big coasters and this removal doesn't help that. Even though 46" doesn't help fully it is at least something.

Unrelated..... What's with the early season sudden ride closures recently? Poseidon must be furious.
