Take note of the Monster Marsh, anyone know what this was exactly? Found some photos by Jim Blasingame on the Busch Gardens Alumni page

This was Busch Gardens version of Cedar Fair's Dinosaurs Alive, if you will. It took place in a big tent on the Glissade pad in the early 90's before Wilde Izzy was built. I'm not sure exactly how long it lasted, only a season or two I believe.
 
Monster Marsh was an attraction on the Glissade pad, no? Between Glissade's closure and Wild Izzy opening.
 
I think so! I admit I had to look it up when I found it because I hadn't heard of Monster Marsh before-- I saw an older post on here that mentioned it was only open for one or two seasons.
 
Thanks for sharing @3cheers4wolfsrevenge! I'm insanely jealous—that has got to be one of the deepest cut pieces of attraction merch I've ever seen. Love!

I also created a thread for the attraction pieced together from @Gameboyzee's excellent photo find and your mug find. This is probably one of the most unknown attractions (that I know of) on the BGW iceberg. Hopefully this will help some new folks learn of this super weird, short-lived BGW attraction.
