TAMPA -- Busch Gardens dealt with a power outage Wednesday afternoon.

Power was restored just before 2 p.m.

The amusement park allowed entry to continue during the outage.

Safety checks were done on all major attractions, but some remained out of service Wednesday afternoon due to inclement weather in the area.

Busch Gardens dealt with a power outage a few months ago after a squirrel got into an area of a substation breaker.

As of 1:30 p.m., Dragon Fire Grill and Sultan's Sweets are back to normal operation.
