Commercial for The Dark Continent exhibit at Busch Gardens, Tampa Bay, Florida; commercial follows a man on safari (reminiscent of African safari films), in search for a doctor who he requests to return to civilization; the doctor responds, “What? And miss all the fun here at Busch Gardens?!”; scenes of the many rides, rollercoasters, and African live animal experiences show; dubbed over song: “From Marrakesh, to Stanley Hill, the Africa of yesteryear was such a thrill; thought it was long ago, and far away, the Africa of yesterday is here today; now the Dark Continent is here, for you, today!”; commercial ends with picture of the African continent and the banner for Busch Gardens, Tampa.
