Voted world's "Most Beautiful Theme Park," for 12 consecutive years, Busch Gardens has long been renowned as a showplace. This beautiful showplace is home to amazing performances in 2004.

"Pet Shenanigans," a hilarious live-action animal show debuts April 3, and features the zany antics of dogs, cats, birds and other animals. The four-legged celebrities will amaze guests with their high-speed hijinks and high-wire acts.

Veteran animal trainer Joel Slaven, whose training credits include "Ace Ventura, Pet Detective" and "That Darn Cat," brings more than 20 years of experience to the production. The high-energy show is set in the Irish countryside and will be performed in the Shenanigans Theatre, directly across from Lorikeet Glen.

"Theme park visitors want a complete experience when they visit our park - rides, shows, and quality family time. 'Pet Shenanigans' adds even more to the Busch Gardens experience," said Donnie Mills, executive vice president and general manager for Busch Gardens Williamsburg and Water Country USA.

Family fun takes center stage as Busch Gardens caps off its stellar entertainment lineup with an all-new "Imaginique" debuting June 19. This immersive, sensory experience enchants guests on summer evenings through August 18. The new adaptation of "Imaginique" will transform The Royal Palace Theatre with its double-chiffon aerial act, towering acrobatic feats, vivid colors and imagination.

"'Imaginique has been overwhelmingly popular and the 2004 rendition will continue to fascinate our guests," said Mills. "Throughout the summer, Busch Gardens Williamsburg also will play host to a series of special events from Big Band music to Motown tributes."
