While at Busch Gardens yesterday covering Cheetah Hunt construction, I finally had a chance to visit the relatively new Sesame Street Safari of Fun section of the park. It opened last year but this was my first time making it there to check it out.

As a long-time Sesame Street fan (who isn’t?), I was thrilled to get my picture with none other than Big Bird!

I was always partial to Snuffleupagus, but the big yellow fellow would do. The area looks like a blast for children, but I was disappointed to see that all the rides were for kids only. I really wanted to ride the water hippos.

If you’re interested in seeing more, I’ll likely post some pictures and video from the area soon over at InsideTheMagic.net.

And yes, this photo was taken yesterday so it’s kind of cheating on this daily photo thing. But I don’t care. Deal with it.
