Busch Gardens

We live in Southern California and we are annual pass holders of most amusement parks. This is our first time in Busch Gardens and we are quite impressed. Our hotel had a discount: we purchased discounted tickets: half day pass for $ 60. Although in the ticket is said entrance is after 12pm; we were in at 11:40am. The family loves the rides but the shows were something else. We also appreciate that they provide free iced water if you have a container and 99cent free refills if you purchase a bottle– and refills are even for the life of the bottle. Busch gardens had everything for everyone in the family. Animals and animal education and conservation, rides, shows, gardens and garden sculptures. It’s not as crowded as we expected. It was a fabulous day for the family, a great deal at that $ 60 from 11:40 to 6:55 (park closed at 7pm).

When I lived in FL, I used to come to BG very often. This place is great. It seems they keep expanding the park more and more. I chose to come during the week because it would be a little less crowded. We got there and immediately started doing some of the rides. The lines were not that long, some waits were only about 10 minutes. One of the new things they offer was the Serengeti Safari. We met in a designated spot 15 minutes before the start of the tour. They will explain what will happen, then they ask you to put your belongings in a locker. After they walk you to the area where a truck is waiting for you. This is a standing tour, you will stand in the bed of the truck for the whole tour. It was awesome. You see some of the animals very closely and we even fed and petted a giraffe. How awesome is that. I love the Congo River rapids ride, it’s the big yellow one that seats about 12 people. This ride used to be a little drier back in the day, but now, people can wet you from the sides while you pass. My friends’ thought they were going to end up dry, however almost at the end of the ride got soaked. It was so much fun. I don’t do roller coasters, but my husband and my little girl did Kumba, which is one of the worst. Even my girlfriend, who loves them said that this one leaves you rattled. Yikes! My little boy and I stayed safe and sound on firm land. There was so much to do, we were not able to do everything, you probably need a couple of days at least to do most. We were there for 7 of the 8 hours they are open.

This theme park has gorgeous landscaping, natural habitats for its animals and scary rides.
What it doesn’t have is a good Southwestern salad at the Zambia smokehouse. The beans and corn were soaked in vinegar and the lettuce was wilted.
For those of you trying to eat healthy, this is not the meal to eat.

It was one of the worst decision I have taken in my life, going to Busch garden. It is way behind Disney resorts and the universal studio. Despite the fact that you have to wait almost an hour to get in a game, the game will last for almost 5 minutes. I stepped in a line for almost one hour and then they said the game is temporary closed!!!
Will never recommend this garden to any one.

I enjoy going to Busch Garden since they have many things to do here. Im personally not a huge fan of roller coasters but I love coming here to see the animals, coming to seasonal events and grab some churros.

What I love about Busch Gardens is that part of it is a theme park complete with roller coaster rides and the other half is some kind of zoo/​animal conservatory. It was huge, it was eye-​catching, it was exciting, it was fun! It didn’t even feel like a theme park, but more like a fun festival of some sort. (And it was probably expensive, but my parents handled that.)
Busch Gardens has a ton of awesome rides, but for some reason, I will never forget the Scorpion roller coaster. It’s just a small red roller coaster, but the cool thing about it is the one loop that goes upside down. Here’s the kicker: you’re not harnessed in with anything extra beyond the seatbelt and lap bar. I was a bit freaked out but it turned out to be pretty fun.
I really hope I go back again at some point in the near future. If I ever make another vacation trip to Florida, this will be on my list.
[My previous review was removed, so I’m posting this again.]

Well, this is going to be an interesting post to write. I’ll start by laying out the time frame I went in, which was Spring Break.
The lines were as expected, long but they moved at a good pace. The crowds wasn’t to bothersome or unruly. Everyone wanted to get in the park, go get on rides and enjoy the many adventures Busch Gardens had to offer.
I got in free on this occasion due to my job but if I had had to pay I would definitely be giving this review a star or two less.
Reason being, most of the food vendors either ran out of food, which we didn’t find out until standing in line for 30 minutes or so. Or they didn’t have enough staff to move the product efficiently.
Another thing that blew my mind was that it was spring break and as we got off one ride expecting to get on another roller-​coaster ride. We find out that it’s shut down. Okay… on to the next. The next one was shut down too. Luckily they had little carnival style games to play while I figured out what course of action to take while I wait for one of the rides to open up. We ended up finding the more so kiddy roller-​coaster rides, which finished up the day for me after about eight hours of standing up and walking around.
I’m not sure if I would go back or not. I will say that I’ve been to a few parks that seemed a lot better up kept, better customer service and the rides kept going.

I adore Busch Gardens but I’ve long hesitated to write a review since I have a lot of nostalgia wrapped up in this park. Growing up in St. Pete, Busch Gardens has been a perpetual zebra-​striped backdrop to my good times. I’ve been with family and friends alike annually for over thirty years, and sometimes more frequently than that! Christmas Town and Howl-​O-​Scream, the Food and Wine festivals, music concerts, and just a regular day at the park with aching feet and a sugar rush, I’ve done it all many times, and never had a bad experience. Going to Busch Gardens is, to me, like going over to a friend’s house. I know it so well.
Of course it’s changed a lot from the days of the Clydesdale stables and the Busch hospitality house. Modern Busch Gardens is a world-​class zoo and thrill rides park, with some of the best coasters around. Cheetah Hunt and Kumba are personal favourites and I’m mad stoked for the new Cobra’s Curse that’s set to open this year. If you like to scream your face off and throw up a little in your mouth, BG can hook you up.
It’s a surprisingly great park for shopping, too. Marrakesh Market near the entrance has cute, reasonably priced, and appropriately themed dresses, hats, knick-​knacks, and jewellery; items you might legitimately want to wear or display, and not just mindless souvenirs. The large Bazaar back in the newest section, Pantopia, continues the theme, with interesting homegoods, wine bottles, and handmade soaps and rings, all of it very affordable. The African themed goods in the Emporium include tribal masks, fans, hand-​carved animal totems, drums, and jewellery, most of it animal-​inspired.
Food options are pretty good! My favourite is the Smokehouse where you can acquire a decent plate of barbecue and smoked chicken that’s legitimately falling off its poor old bones. A half-​chicken platter with a roll and slaw will only set you back 12 dollars, but overall you’ll just sound naïve complaining too much about the prices of the food. This is a theme park, Holmes! There’s a new food court style option called DragonFire with Asian, Italian, Southwest, and American options, but you can get your standard sandwiches and pizza at the Crown Colony Café or elsewhere. Another personal fave of mine and a place that always brings me straight back to my childhood is Sultan’s Sweets, a candy shop near the entrance that sells fudge, pastries, coffee, and chocolate-​covered decadence. They also have a candy pick’n mix station, ice cream, brownies; just all the necessary equipment to get your fat on. This is where kids break down in wailing paroxysms of Want and Need. You can fuel yourself against it with the Starbucks coffee that’s also sold here and then go feed the little bastards to the snapping turtles outside.
The animal exhibits are great, particularly all the animals out in the Serengeti. Lions, hippos, cheetahs, gazelle, giraffes, elephants, meerkats, pools full of penguins, a huge aviary full of birds. Go feed a paddock of kangaroos or go nose-​to-​bill with a huge flock of flamingos. You’ll find handlers walking around with screech owls for you to pet or you can wait at one of the displays for a scheduled crocodile or crane show. It’s always a matter of luck how much you’ll get to see, but over the years I’ve had great experiences with gorillas, orangutans, the big cats, hippos, and all the rest butting against their plexiglass and hamming it up on the other side of the fences. Forget the lions though, they are always lazy asses and they hate you.
Shows! Check the schedules as well for these inside the park’s auditoriums. It’s not all cheesy musicals. Don’t miss the trained animal show «Opening Night Critters» or the ice skating production «Iceplorations.» It’s not Disney, but these aren’t embarrassing experiences. There’s a lot of talent and love that goes into them.
Of course there are standard theme park aggravations. You’ll probably balk at the twenty dollar price tag to park. Wait times for rides may bring you down. Drinks are expensive. Humans are rude, obnoxious, loud, and depressing. It’s hot. The neighbourhood the park itself is in is not great, and you should not try to park anywhere but in BG’s parking lot, as parking scams have been known to happen around here. Hotel options are limited. If you have kids they’ll probably want to hang out in the Sesame Street section which may make you want to kill yourself. The carnival game section will also inspire suicidal thoughts. Wise men do not tread there.
Overall though? I think Busch Gardens is a quality park and a terrific value for local residents who opt for an Annual Pass. Support it! We’re lucky to have it!

A zoo + roller coasters + drinks = a good time.
My friends and I got fun passes/​annual passes so we could come for their food and wine festival. We usually first grab a beer, go ride Montu, grab hard liquor (like a piña colada or margarita) wait in line and finish our drinks before getting on Cheetah hunt, and then grab more drinks and walk around the park. It is a fantastic plan that leads to good times.
There are two places in the park that serve liquor. One is the building across from cheetah hunt. The other is a tiki hut looking stand that I can never remember where it is, but we always stumble upon it.
I love the food and wine festival, because I can try a ton of little plates and sample a lot of little drinks. Their sangria is pretty good.
My favorite ride is Falcon’s Fury, but I heard I’m crazy. Other favorites are cheetah hunt and montu. If you live in Tampa, it is definitely worth getting passes.

Great park with so much to do from coasters to seeing animals. All the coasters where amazing especially the Cheetah ride. Shop at beginning of park is amazing as sells a lot of homemade arty things, jewellery and other unique stuff. I brought a lovely metal art picture that was made from a man in Haiti some of the proceeds go towards helping people in Haiti as well. All animals seem happy and they have great space to roam in.
Tips: feed kangeroos in morning whilst hungry and active, feed birds early whilst hungry, visit animals in morning whilst active, don’t miss the hippo amazing seeing it in the clean clear water, there are so many squirrels about that are tame so you can feed them by hand, book the Serengeti tour (get to meet touch and meert giraffes)

Little tip when you go to Busch Gardens if you have children and a stroller get the preferred parking and then tell them you have a stroller because that will knock you down back to the normal price but you will still be considered a preferred parking so I’ll be back to $ 18 which is nice especially at the end of the day when your children are having a fit and you just want to get them to the car
To talk about getting in the way it wasn’t horrible my mother paid for our tickets and also for the arm wrist band where you get all-​you-​can-​eat meals which really means that you can get one meal with one side per hour at certain spots in the park and then if you go to the snack bar you can get buy one snack get one free like ice cream or popcorn or something like that which at the end of the day it pays to do that because it’s pretty much an arm and a leg to pay for any kind of food
No the food itself it was decent the pictures showed it to be amazing and have a party in your mouth but I didn’t have much of a party in my mouth and said I had just food in my mouth because I was hungry and that was the extent of that
It was pretty fantastic to see the animals like two year old son had a blast with train my daughter had a blast feeding the drafts on the Safari personally my favorite part was seeing the elephants and then also seeing the rhinos and the tigers and lions those guys were pretty cool
Make sure you have some good walking shoes some layering just in case it gets cold out be cool enough where you are able to stay cool clothes that are not see through when they get wet just in case you go on any what rides and if you do hold a small child make sure you bring a stroller you’re going to need it was a lot of walking if not bigger than the Virginia Busch Gardens make sure you drink lots of water hydrate hydrate hydrate
I would go back and I plan to go back it was a fun experience

Known for their thrill rides and coasters, BG is much more than just another amusement park. They have 250 different species of animals, many which are endangered, in a free range habitat area that alot of folks don’t even bother going to see. Living within a 20 min drive, I’ve been to this park many times over the years. And I’ve enjoyed the shows, the themed events, Hollow scream, Christmas Town, the live shows etc, but I still love seeing all the African animals. I think they have more animals than Lowry Park Zoo.
I miss the old days when they were owned by Anheuser Busch and gave out free beer, enjoyed by many on a hot summer day. I especially miss the Clydesdale horses, as that was always one of my favorite things to see in the park.
My favorite ride in the park is the Cheetah Hunt coaster, a very smooth ride! There are several water rides to cool your jets when the temps and humidity soar through the roof.
They do allow water bottles so be sure to bring one. The food is pretty standard fare, the animals seem well cared for and the humans are in abundance.
There are many different options of tickets, if you are an out of towner and plan on visiting multiple sites, check out the City pass for some of the best deals out there.

C’est le paradis des fans de coasters il y en a vraiment pour tous les goûts du plus basique au plus hardcore comme Sheikra.
En plus de ça il y a une partie avec des animaux et d’autres attractions plus relax ce qui permet d’apprécier ce parc même si vous êtes pas amateur de sensations fortes.
A savoir que le parc est assez grand et de manière circulaire donc les déplacements peuvent être assez long.
Il y a des navettes gratuites pour s’y rendre depuis Orlando et pour les billets le plus économique est de prendre une offre qui combine plusieurs parcs.

We visited Busch Gardens today as a group. I brought my dad, my sister, my husband, and 3 friends. This is going to be a rather long review, but I hope to cover all the areas of our visit.
I am a huge fan of the passport pass with Busch Gardens. Upon arriving, only I had a pass with admission for the day. My husband purchased a passport pass (for Busch Gardens & Adventure Island), we purchased one for my sister (with her upcoming birthday), and one of our friends purchased one too. My father and other friend purchased a funcard. During this month if you buy a Busch Gardens funcard, you get Adventure Island too. The perks of having a passport over a funcard? You receive parking for free, as well as other perks year round. You receive free $ 10 giftcards every few months, a ticket for a friend during the month of your birthday (how my third friend came), extra discounts on tours, BOGO deals, all sorts of specials (they change each month). No other park I’ve held a pass at gives special rewards like these each month. They are nice little surprises that make you feel appreciated.
The tram was busy, so we decided to walk. It was truly a short enjoyable walk for us, not more than ¼ mile. Once we arrive to the front we got in line to purchase our tickets. There are plenty of kiosks available, if you can do self-​service you can use these. You can also purchase dining bands and quick que passes there. We got in line with all the passes we had to buy. We waited about 15 minutes and were ready to go into the park. Security check was simple and fast. It you bring food, skip using tupperware… You can’t bring that in, we heard someone else.
We purchased Dine All Day dining bands for 2 of us. We personally felt it was worth it, for the water bottles and snacks. They have changed their dining bands recently, so be ready for changes. Now you can get 1 entrée an hour, and they scan. You can get unlimited drinks (including bottled water), salads, fruits, and desserts. They also now need to ring your items up, and scan your band. Annual passholders receive discounts on these, so they are very affordable. If you plan to eat twice, they are worth it. Now with your band you get BOGO on things like dip n dots, churros, popcorn, beer (yes BEER), and other various snack cart items.
You name it we ate it! We ate at Dragons Grill, for lunch. My favorite is the warm cherry/​apple tart they make, but I couldn’t find it today. We had dinner at the smokehouse, and that was delicious! The lines were a little backed up. But I really think it is people learning the new band system, and spring break crowds.
We took our time, and spilt up since we had so many people. Yet we felt very accomplished with our visit today. We visited several shows (Opening Night Critters, Motor City Groove, Treasures of the Mirage, and Iceploration). All were great, my favorite is the baby elephant in Iceploration. We also rode several rides (Kumba, Cheetah Hunt, Monteu, Falcon’s Furry, and the train). I am not a huge fan of their new locker system. They ran out of lockers at Kumba, and it was a long wait for a locker… We ended out having my husband hold the bags so we could ride. Busch Gardens will not let you ride with bags for safety purposes.
My Husband and I did the Elephant’s Insider tour upon first arriving. This tour with Noël was a truly awesome experience! It was very organic and real, which we really appreciate. Not a song and dance, and misrepresentation of what daily tasks are. We felt involved and educated on what they were doing right in that moment, as if none of it was «planned.» Knowing how such beautiful and large creatures are cared for while being able to learn neat things hands on is great. I encourage this tour for all who love elephants. It was an additional cost after admission, I thought it was a very reasonably priced tour ($ 26 per person w/​annual passholder discount).
We visited the kangaroos, and fed them for $ 6. I wish we got more lettuce than other things like pellets and hay, because they are only interested in the lettuce. I appreciate this exhibit, it lets you interact and pet them up close.
Overall Busch Gardens is a great experience. They really do deliver a great day at the theme park.

While the hubs and I were in Orlando, we decided to take a trip down to Tampa to check out Busch Gardens. We’re huge fans of the Williamsburg location, and knowing that the one in Tampa has tons of animals, I was even super excited! We were actually a little disappointed, as there weren’t that many coasters T_​_​_​_​T We got to ride the Cheetah Hunt, the SheiKra, the Kumba, the Montu, and the Scorpion. Honestly, the coasters were a little lackluster, as compared to the VA’s counterpart, there was less of an adrenaline rush; maybe it’s because it wasn’t as fast enough? Either way, I did enjoy seeing some of the animals, however to be up-​close-​and-​personal, you would have to pay additional for the jeep/​guided tours. There were some shows that you could catch (such as ‘Opening Night Critters,’ ‘A is for Africa,’ etc.), and exclusive park experiences (at an additional fee; ‘Serengeti Safari,’ ‘Penguin Insider,’ etc.). On a side note, beware of the aggressive seagulls! The hubs ordered his usual funnel cake, and the seagulls were just at him (kind of scary!) — even the employees on staff were a little freaked out T_​_​_​_​T The park itself is also not well-​kept (especially the bathrooms), so try to avoid the restrooms as much as you can!
+beware of the aggressive seagulls! :O
+not-​so-​clean restrooms T_​_​_​T
+minimal coasters
+animal viewings at an additional charge

I’ve been coming to Busch Gardens for over 20 years. Since the days Anheuser-​Busch had a stable for the Budweiser Clydesdale horses and a brewery on site that provided two free samples of beer. I was here when they featured a lonely albino alligator and when the shows were more impressive than the rides. I’ve seen rides come and go and have done everything there is to do and rode everything there is to ride. Yet I’m always excited to return. I came so often at one point that we were season pass holders living in a different state!
Why? Busch Gardens to me feels like going to a really awesome public park. I know it’s a theme park, but it feels like a festival. The combination of theme park, water park, landscaped gardens and zoo with a variety of theatrical shows thrown into the mix give me that childhood comfort of spending the day at jazz festivals with my family. Honestly, if I never rode one ride the entire day I’d be okay with it. I just like being here.
THINGS TO DO
I love the excitement of watching my tween children rush to be the first on a new attraction, like Cheetah Hunt, which is now in my top 10 list of favorite coasters. I love that my grandson finds joy in the toddler-​friendly play areas and experiences awe and wonder in the bird sanctuary where beautiful lorikeets hang out on your finger as you feed them nectar. I adore the talent of the performers in the ice show and quality of the animal shows. As a matter of fact, animals ARE the show!
Everywhere you turn animals are on display. Giant tortoises, lazy Florida gators, cheetahs, elephants, playful orangutans opening their Christmas presents and white tigers who seem more comfortable in water than on land. You can feed kangaroos, sloths, lemurs, and experience the animals of Africa and Australia up close.
THE RIDES
My top favorite rides are:
1) Cheetah Hunt
2) Sheekra
3) Falcon’s Fury
4) Kumba
5) Serengeti Railway
THE FOOD
Busch Gardens and SeaWorld seem to put more effort into their food than many other theme parks, which makes for a nicer experience. Turkey Legs are still our families favorite treat. Just seems like they go with the entire theme park experience.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Combined with the Serengeti safari atmosphere, new coasters being added every year and awesome shows, Busch Gardens gives you an ever-​changing good bang for your family buck! Get the multi-​park pass to Seaworld for only $ 10 or so more for 2 days of great adventures.

Bush Gardens is pretty awesome but most of the fans are correct do not expect the Disney Magical Experience here. Also when the web site has ride updates and say 1 ride is not working it’s a lie. When we went there was 4 rides that were not working including the only one I really wanted to ride was the Skyway carts.
This park is loaded with poor animals listening to roller coasters and screams all day long, however the park is elite and expansive and has lots of cool options to eat, ride, chill, and hang out. The Brazilian chanting girls are the reason for knocking off a star, Disney took care of this problem and you guys should to it’s highly annoying.
The food at some grill in Patagonia was way to expensive for the quality and what your actually getting it’s almost extortion as well as not having gluten-​free bread anywhere in this park is the reason for knocking off another star. It shouldn’t be hard to have a gluten free accommodation especially when you have these «allergy cards» that explain let a chef know.
Also if you want to get the $ 50 fast pass unlimited be sure you get it at the beginning of the park because you can not get it at the back of the park for some unknown reason, but I know! They do offer $ 30.99 at the back of the park for one fast pass but not the unlimited so we had to walk all the way back to the front of the park to get these fast passes. These did pay off however most of the staff didn’t even care and don’t double check you once you get in the fast line we witnessed a bunch of kids jumping under the line and no one to check them.
Plastic Animal Making Machines are 5+ and a relic of Seaworld which I love. The elephants, cats, sloths, make this place a 5 star park. The rides are also great, and this park is a good way to spend the day. You really only need about 4 – 5 hours at a brisk walk to knock this park out. It didn’t take THAT long. I’d come back here with family, or friends in the future but with Disney World being so close it’s hard to make that call.

Visited this past December and had a good time. Was a bad day of rides closing for stints for undisclosed reasons but still rode enough rides to be satisfied.
One thing I was not a big a big fan of was all the Christian nativity scenes etc. To each their own but with the way Christians are trying to cram backward politricks onto the rest of us, I’m getting tired of ppl pandering to these folks. Keep your religion to your home and away from politics, deal?

Being both a roller coaster and animal enthusiast, it made perfect sense for me to visit Busch Gardens when on vacation in Florida.
What must have been the hottest day of the year didn’t bode well for my English acclimatisation or my pale skin but I did manage to stay in the shade as much as i could.
The roller-​coasters here are epic! If you like big thrills, then this is the place to visit. Cheetah Run was one of my particular favourites, and i also stuck around for the animal demonstration where you can see a Cheetah chasing it’s dinner — very impressive.
The safari and giraffe feeding experience was definitely not to be missed. Being that close to a giraffe was amazing — not so much when i got saliva all over my hand! Haha. I wouldn’t hesitate in returning to Busch Gardens!

1) the admission price was very high. too high. — docked one star. About fifty bucks a person if you’re not doing rides seems fair.
2) plethora of animals in natural habitats. extraordinary.
3). the african savannah was great.
4). birds awesome.
5). the overhead rides and train rides are great ways to view the park.
6) they have music. felix pappalardi of the rascals was playing today.
7). the rides, if you have kids, are amazing.
8) plenty more of food & drink.
9). we liked the primates area.
10). lots of benches & shady areas.
and, alligators & pink flamingoes, elephants, hippoes, and tortoises, and kangarooes!!!
very neat.
we had a fun day.

Best place ever for have a lot fun and different things to do. The Falcon Fury in my opinion is the best drop in the park

Your typical theme park with the focus of an «African Serengeti» experience with all the roller coasters and animals galore!
I come here quite frequently on a monthly basis because I own an annual pass holder card (includes parking, 10% off). I love riding on the coasters as many times and during different times of the day.
Each ride has a cubicle to put storage for your flip flops, drinks or anything you cannot take on a ride per the employees.
There are various types of places to eat from, as the colony house is one of my favorites or if you like smoked food-​type there is an establishment in the back where Sheikra is located.
If you are wanting to be laid back and not adventure-​stricken: there are animal displays, a train ride and safari excursion (not included) to feed the giraffes and be away from there main crowd.
This is under the SeaWorld umbrella brand so if you’re a visitor then combine your package to one of those parks.
Regardless, visit the park and highly recommend

I haven’t been in years, so I wasn’t sure if I should rate overall or on my recent experience. Now I know sometimes things get closed for maintenance or weather or whatever, but this time like 4 rides were closed, including my favorite Montu. There were 3 rides I had never seen before but I think only one was under construction and the other two just weren’t open so I missed a chance to ride them. And the ice skating show arena was closed and that was always my favorite place to watch shows. Partially because of air conditioning.
The animals are nice to look at but there’s a lot more kid play areas than I remember. I imagine it’s cheaper than grown up rides. Basically if you don’t want to do water rides in January, I had Kumba, Scorpion (which is tiny) and Shiekra (which is scary tall). There wasn’t a whole lot of thrill rides that were open. But I had a niece and nephew fully entertained. I know no park gives discounts if they have stuff closed, but it is pretty disappointing. This place with everything open and the desire to go on water rides is better in the summer.
Oh and before they were purchased by someone, they used to give out free small beers. And of course now that I’m over 21 I never got a chance for that. Damn!

4 stars for the whole experience–
I’ve been coming to Busch Gardens since the early ‘80s and a lot has changed. I won’t drag out this review and go through all of the changes but I really like the park now. Granted, I feel it was at its prime just a few years ago but I’m starting to warm to the new Pantopia changes. (Personally, I liked it best when the new Dragon Fire Grille was the German Festhaus and there was the whole Egypt and German influence) Anyway, the park is really large and I think it would be tough to do it all in one day so I recommend getting a seasonal pass — pays for itself in two trips. A couple of tips:
1. Purchase the All Day Dining wristband. $ 30 but a seasonal pass gets you a discount on the band so it makes it close to ~$ 25. The bands get you all of the food you want to eat and BOGO drinks.
2. Alcohol prices are different between the Dragon Fire Grille and the Colony House (weird, right?). Stick to the house if you want the lowest price.
3. Bring your patience if you visit during Hollowscream.
4. Enter the park and follow the path to the right and work the park in a big circle.
5. The sky ride is notorious for not being open except for windy days — figure that out.
6. Upgrade your ribs for $ 3(with wristband) to the baby back. They’ll most likely fall off the bone.
7. ONLY get the ribs at the smokehouse — not at the Dragon Fire Grille. They’re always chewy at the DFG.
8. Lastly, disregard the parking attendants if your arriving after 10am. Just drive up to the first lots as people will have left the park and you’ll get a great spot near the walkway or trams.

Any parks that honors it’s service men and women by giving free admission to them and up to three dependent ID cardholders will ALWAYS get my full support in return. I just wish I had gotten to this park prior to 2009 when they had the free beer and brewery tours I’ve heard so much about. But no worries; this park is still top notch.
I appreciated all of the animal encounters that you can do without having to pay extra. One of the staff with the elephants was super generous; since he saw us there earlier in the day, when we came back later in the evening, he let us feed one of them, and gave us more demonstrations. He showed us what to do to get her to shake her head and a couple of other movements! It was all of our highs for the day!!! I highly encourage asking tons of questions about these beautiful creatures. The staff loves their animals and appreciates your curiosity. I also appreciated their use of «we ask the animals to do…» They no longer demand the animals to perform any tasks; they use only positive encouragement/​reinforcement.
You also have to stop by and see the kangaroos. Feed them and pet them! I had no clue they were so soft.
We will be back!

We headed here the day after Christmas. The park was rather clean and decorated nicely. Tickets are reasonable considering what other parks are around. $ 99 for a day or a year!
Food was okay. Lots of fried options but the do have a buffet option as well. We got the daily food deal and was able to eat unlimited at any restaurant all day for $ 17 per kid $ 35 for adult!
Employees were friendly and helpful! And the overall attractions were nice. The big coasters are awesome but get ready to wait. Some cues were 75 minutes which can be longer if the ride shuts down for technical difficulties. This happened to us twice which was rough since we rode many 5 rides throughout the day.
Overall a GREAT day spent with family!

A great place to take my kids again and again mostly because it’s super close for us to drive to! We truly get our money’s worth. The park is loaded with exciting rides and is big enough to explore. It has many exciting features such as the safari and sky rides. There are animal exhibits all over the park and it even has bird and kangaroo feelings! Rides are a blast and the Sheikra is freaking scary! (For me). They have that new ride where it drops you from Mt. Everest… forget it. I’ll pass.
Busch Gardens hosts different festivals throughout the year… from the Food and Wine festival to the Christmas one… it’s an awesome place to take the family for a fun-​filled day!
Take advantage of their drink and popcorn cups. But once and take it with you for $.99 refills. There are also other options too!
I have been living in FL for over four years and have purchased the yearly passes for three of those! We love it. It’s worth it!

I had never heard of Busch Gardens before coming to Florida, and I was not disappointed! The roller coasters, especially Cheetah Hunt, were awesome! Even the carousel was fun!
It was nice to be able to walk around the park and have a little bit of everything. If you wanted a break from high speed roller coasters, you could cool off in any of the water rides, and once you were soaking wet, you could walk around and see all kinds of animals (my favorite!) From cheetahs, to orangutans, to elephants to penguins! It was a great variety of things to see and experience! Great for all the family, and going during Christmas time was even better!
Oh! And the food! The restaurants were exciting and the food was good quality. I’ve been to a number of amusement parks and nothing beats the food at Busch Gardens! Get the food wrist band! Worth every penny! You get to eat all you want whenever you want! AND it’s food you want to eat! :)
If you haven’t gone to Busch Gardens, I highly recommend it! Just, be patient when trying to take the tram back to your car. Remember, we’re all feeling the same way!

I don’t know how many times have been to Busch Gardens in my life but let’s say it’s in the three digits. Certain times of the year I love going there for their evening concerts. I love the animals and a small quaint little shops they have.
I think Busch Gardens is the best amusement park in all of Florida but that is just my humble opinion. On the other hand I also think it is gone down and quality since I have been going to visit it for so many years. The rides are not my thing except for some of the specialty ones so I’m going more on the quality of the overall park.
Yes I like that they have the beer and some nice restaurants but I wouldn’t say I’ve eaten at any restaurant there that is a five star quality but once again that’s my opinion. Personally I think the animals and walking around in nature and enjoying yourself with friends and or family is a wonderful way to spend a day or an evening. So what better place to do it if you’re in Tampa then Busch Gardens.
It if you coming to Florida it’s definitely something to put on your must do list because its so unique. Some of us that have been around for years no the changes and noticed them but it’s not going to stop us from going or at least not me. I do regret some of the changes I see but, that’s not my decision to make, its corporate America.
What’s a girl to do if you want to go see some giraffes and beautiful scenery and other animals and maybe have a few beers, Busch Gardens is your place to go.

All day dining is the only way to go! Also if you get a season pass and do the EZ pay, it is only 13/​month! Worth every penny. We go regularly just to walk around and hang out. Beware of ride shut downs… they happen often. Which if you are there a lot it isn’t a big deal, but if you go only once per year I’m sure it is aggravating.

I have been to a lot of amusement parks in the last year so I feel like I can make an accurate assessment and this is by far one of the best parks I have been to in a while. Not only were the rides epic and thrilling but the animals were amazing. This parks is perfect. It has everything from kids zones, plunging coasters, exotic animals, to live shows and safari expeditions. Thanks to the waves of honor military program my family and I received free tickets and discounted tickets for a return trip.
The park was not as crowded as we expected which was nice. Lines were still a bit long so we invested in a quick pass. Best decision ever. No lines and we were able to ride all the coasters multiple times. This park was wonderful and we are already planning a return trip in the spring.

This is the second year that I’ve had the Fun Pass for Florida residents (Cost just under $ 100) and it is totally worth the price! I’ve gone here at least 7 times this year and have normally piled into a car with an ‘annual passholder’ who gets free parking. Since parking costs $ 18 otherwise, this is a great setup and I will eternally thank my friend for it!
The coasters at BG are fanstastic (I recommend Cheetah Hunt, Montu, Kumba & Sheikra). And I must say that Falcon’s Fury is much better than expected. Soooo smooth and offers beautiful views of Tampa. Not as scary as it appears. All rides have cubbies to hold your small bags, sunglasses and shoes. If you have a backback, you may be asked to lock your bag away at a locker to pick up later. The park is very shady with many trees and you probably wont have to worry about burning in the Florida sunshine.
There are several locations for beer/​liquor if you like to drink and ride coasters. Our first stop is normally the Crown Colony Café next to Cheetah Hunt which is a great place to get craft brews or mixed cocktails. Another great spot is the pretzel place right by Falcon’s Fury. Water fountains are also located at all bathroom locations throughout the park. Such a great place to visit!

Its quite interesting how this park evolved from beer promotional tool to a one of most the popular amusement park. We were here for 2 days and definitely needed the second day. During our visit toward the end of August I think they had just changed the hours of operation. Unlike Universal in Orlando they only opened from 10 – 6 even on weekends which was a bit of a bummer. Especially the weather at the time was always chaotic, the first day we visited maybe had torrent rain in the afternoon for couple of hours and most of the indoor shows we tried to get in were already filled given that this is primary an outdoors amusement park, they also seem to a bit slow in getting the rides back up once the rain stops.
However, they did have a 2 day admission for single day price around $ 80 online when I was booking my trip definitely helped offset the bad weathers and shorter hours. Below are the attractions we were able to visit in the 2 days here and of course spoils warning :)
–Rides
Cheeta Hunt — By far the most popular ride while we were here, being that its closest roller coaster to the entrance and the longer ride time. This was the only ride where we had to wait more than 10 – 15 minutes. Definitely very fun and fast and does not drop very far making it more about speed than altitude. Unfortunately this ride was also the one with most problems. Twice while we’re were waiting in line they had malfunctions and was not able to fix in short period of time. I would suggest visit first thing in the morning or before the park closes.
Sheikra — To be honest I was bit worried about the drop when I first saw the photos. Its definitely quite a nervous wreck that first time hanging by the ledge waiting for the drop. I would have to say first row does make quite a difference as you can see much more below you while waiting for that first drop. Much shorter ride time after the drop though but also shorter wait than the Cheeta Hunt. However this was the other ride we rode that encountered mechanical problems.
Falcon’s Fury — We came to try this after Sheikra and at first I thought I was crazy to try such a high vertical drop. Again like Sheikra at the highest point it pauses for a moment and actually tilts the seat facing downward for you to see everything below! Quite an adrenaline rush indeed. The brake comes in approximately about ¹⁄₃ of the way toward the ground so its really only couple seconds of free fall if you’re worried about the duration haha
Kumba — A bit rocky and bumpy ride compare to Cheeta Hunt, its located towards end of the park so much shorter lines. Compare to the flagship rides its a bit underwhelming but I think still fun
Scorpion — A much milder coaster compare to the other big boys, although it did go around 360 degree though I think this can be passed if you’re stressed for time
Congo River Rapids — I’m not much fun for these water rides and this one wasn’t much exception haha. Bit run of the mill raft ride with chances for people outside to spray you with some water. Glad this time it was sunny and my clothes dried quicker.
Seregenti Railway/​Skyride — Both are great ways of getting awesome and scenic views of the large Serengenti open field plain that takes up ²⁄₃ of the park. The train ride takes more time obviously but you get some nice photo opportunities. Definitely highly recommend to do both to help cutting down the walking time.
–Shows
Iceploration — My favourite indoor attraction and definitely a great way to rest your aching feet or avoid the rain. Very beautifully done stage and props with some animal actors included in the show! Even if you’re not a fan of ice skating shows I think its worth it just to see the colorful and vivid arrays of costumes and arts.
Opening Night Critter — Its a very fun and cute trained animal show. In addition to the usual cats dogs and birds they even brought in a pony and kangaroo at one point. Perfect for kids and adults for some light-​hearted humorous show.
Motor City Groove — We stopped by before leaving the park since the show time was right at 5:30. Quite talented singers and actually involves bigger crew than I thought with the band and dancers
In addition to the rides and shows the park also hosts a wide array of animal exhibits making this place a zoo and amusement park combined. I did notice the animals here definitely seem much more active compare to regular zoos. Plenty of chances to see them feed animals with guides answering questions. They also have a pretty big animal/​vet center where you can actually see what goes during checkups.
The food here were pretty sub-​par and the staff at the entrance does seem more strict about letting outside food as they check the bags more thoroughly compared to Universal but it could just be depending on the person. Despite some mechanical and weather setbacks overall the visit was great. With some proper preparations definitely can be a great memorable time here at Busch Gardens.

This was a nice way to spend my 30^th birthday. It’s been a while since I’ve been to an amusement park and I have to say this was a nice way to re-​introduce myself :).
It wasn’t too big where we felt overwhelmed and like we couldn’t get everything done. But it wasn’t too small either. I liked the aspect of it being part amusement park and part zoo. We got to see some beautiful animals. I hadn’t seen an orangutan before and they had one here. I saw the most exquisite white tiger. o my; the eyes on this creature were stunning. I’m sad I didn’t get a picture, but it’s ok. I’ll just have to come back. A
I liked the fact that they had a designated area for children. It was called the Sesame Street Safari of Fun. It had age appropriate rides for the kiddos and a really nice play place area suited with a huge bouncy area and obstacle course. I kinda wanted to go on myself lol.
I rode a couple of the coasters. The one that gripped my heart every time I heard it was the Falcon’s fury. If you’re a thrill seeker, you will NOT be disappointed. I did not have the courage to try it. Every time I heard that noise to signal the drop, my heart just sank. I did enjoy the water rides and the cheetah hunt (which was enough thrill for me lol) and they were all fun.
Beware of overpriced food (but that goes without saying at any attraction like such)
We’ll be back though. It was a pleasant time.

Busch Gardens Tampa is a theme park with a mostly African theme but the unique thing is that it is also a zoo with animal exhibits throughout the park as well as a part where larger animals roam free.
The animal exhibits are great. There are elephants, lions, rhinos, cheetahs, penguins, bird gardens including a lorikeet exhibit where you can actually feed the lories nectar (their diet staple).
For rides, they have the standard flume and rapids rides and well as roller coasters like Cheetah Hunt, Sheikra, Kumba, and several others. One of their newest rides is a drop tower where you are turned to face the ground as you drop.
The park is beautifully landscaped. Some of the animals smell a bit (Elephants and kangaroos). The food is decent here but I think the food is better at BG Williamsburg.
The worst thing about this park is the staff. Everyone I encountered just didn’t seem to care. That is the reason this is a 3-​star review rather than a 4. Friendly staff makes for a more enjoyable experience.

Ein riesiger Park mit vielen Attraktionen, Shows, Bahnen, Tiere, Restaurants.
Die Bahnen sind Hammer, jedoch mit vielen Loopings und Schrauben nichts für schwache Mägen ;-)
Wenn man an einem Wochentag im Dezember den Park besucht hat es kaum Leute, da lohnt sich ein Quick Access Pass, wo man nicht so lange anstehen muss, nicht. Für Tage mit mehr Besucher ist das ein muss für Achterbahn-​Fans, denn die Bahnen sind so cool, dass man nicht nur 1 Mal fahren möchte.
Die Tierattraktionen sind auch sehr gut. Wir hatten die 30 Minuten Safaritour gebucht, da sieht man die Tiere von Nahem und kann sogar Giraffen streicheln. Die Tiere auf dem offenen Feld (Zebras, Nashörner, Giraffen, Antilopen, …) machen einen «glücklichen» Eindruck. Die Geparde, Löwen, Tiger, Affen eher weniger, aber scheinen trotzdem gut umsorgt zu sein. Die Affen hatten eine Decke, da es doch eher kühl war für Florida.
Die Preise sind sehr hoch, 95 $ pro Ticket, die Verpflegung im Park ist auch eher teuer. Wir hatten aber einen sehr schönen Tag verbracht. Ist auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert!

Um lugar tão bom quanto a disney, é muito grande e divertido, tem montanhas russas radicais e outros brinquedos tanto quanto, também tem um zoo meio safari, a cervejaria da bud, e muitas outras coisas onde o dia passa muito rapido pois tem muitas atrações, vale muito a pena ir para conhecer este parque, principalmente se gostar de animais e atrações radicais.

Sensationeller Achterbahn Park mit Safari Ausflug.
Die Bahnen sind alle sehr gut ausbalanciert und abwechslungsreich. Die Wartezeiten halten sich im gesunden Rahmen, sofern man unter der Woche dort ist. Der Eintritt und die Parkgebühr sind angemessen, wenn auch die Preise für Getränke und Essen wie üblich zu teuer sind. Man kann dort gut und gerne einen ganzen Tag verbringen. Es wird nie langweilig. Die Cheetah Hunt fährt gemütlich durch den angrenzenden Tierpark und man bekommt schonmal einen Eindruck von den dort lebenden Tieren. Gegen einen geringen Aufpreis kann man eine Jeep-​Safari buchen und Giraffen füttern. Ein unvergessliches Erlebnis! Der Park ist auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert.

Un excellent mix entre un parc d’attractions à sensation et un zoo.
Parcourez ce gigantesque parc grâce au téléphérique, en survolant girafes, singes et autres zèbres. Retrouvez-​vous nez à nez avec des lamantins puis enchaînez avec des montagnes russes décoiffantes.
Que dire ??? Prévoir la journée pour bien en profiter!

Ich kann mich hier nur den meisten anschließen, war ein superschöner Tagesausflug. Hatten wahnsinnig tolles Wetter und es war nach den US Ferien, somit nicht überfüllt.
Steht wieder auf dem Programm.
Aber nicht nur die Fahrgeschäfte, auch die ganze Anlage mit den Tieren und Vögeln und Blumen etc. ist sehenswert. Klar, der Eintritt schmerzt, wenn man nicht so der Fahr-​Freak ist, aber was tut man nicht alles für’s Kind ;-)

Ein sau geiler Tag in dem Freizeitpark.
Besonders hat mich beeindruckt, dass wir als Soldaten kostenlos in den Park durften.
In Deutschland wird man höchstens schief angesehen, wenn man in Uniform in der Freizeit rumläuft, dort wird man umarmt und mit den Worten
Thank you for the service herzlich begrüßt.
Der Park ist viel besser als Disneyland.
Ein Paradis auch für große Kinder

Das war mein erster Freizeitparkbesuch in den USA und ich bin restlos begeistert.
Zunächst die Achterbahnen Sheikra und Cheetah Hunt haben mir am besten gefallen, aber auch die anderen waren super. Ich hatte zwar beim Anblick der Bahnen einen riesen Respekt und ein bißchen Angst, aber als ich dann drauf war, wollte ich mehr ;) Dazu kommt, dass ich noch nie so ausbalancierte und angenehm zu fahrende Achterbahnen erlebt habe. Das waren sicherlich Erfahrungen, die mit unseren deutschen Parks nicht zu vergleichen sind.
Auch die Wildwasserbahn hat ihren Namen ganz zurecht; wir kamen nicht nur arg durchgeschüttelt sondern auch klatschnass wieder raus. Zum Glück war es warm und es gab ja auch für die Frostbeulen diese riesigen Heißluftföhns.
Die Hochseilbahn, die über den gesamten Park schwebt, ermöglicht einem die Einschätzung der gigantischen Ausmaße des Parks und gibt dem Besucher die Möglichkeit die Tiere in ihren Gehegen von oben zu beobachten.
Das Füttern der Giraffen auf der Tour durch das Tiergehege war dann ein weiteres Highlight. Eine atemberaubende Erfahrung, die ich in keinem Fall missen möchte. Diese majestätischen Tiere so nah zu erleben und anfassen und streicheln zu können, war wirklich außergewöhnlich. (es hat sich definitiv gelohnt, auch wenn hierfür separate Kosten entstehen)
Zum Park an sich es war überall extrem sauber und stets sah man Mitarbeiter, die sich um die Instandhaltung kümmerten. Die Toiletten sind in ausreichender Anzahl überall auf dem Gelände vorhanden und wirklich in einem tollen Zustand. Man musste so gut wie nie warten.
Die Preise für die Verpflegung und die Souvenirs sowie das Parken sind relativ kostspielig. Aber es ist ja Urlaub ;)
Die Mitarbeiter waren alle sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und stes gut gelaunt, vor allem der Guide während der Tour durch das Tiergehege konnte uns einiges Erklären und gab uns viele interessante Informationen und Hintergrundfakten.
Alles in allem ein klarer Tip ich würde Busch Gardens’ jederzeit den Disney Parks vorziehen.

Buschgardens was wonderful! I loved the attractions and the natur. The best rollercoaster was Sheikra. Watching it is amazing, but riding is much better. You can ride a hundert times and you still think: OMG, this cant be! If you love rollercoaster, you HAVE to go there.
Also for children Buschgardens is great. Watching animals from arfica and having a big adventures are just some great things to explore.

BUSH GARDENS ist kein ZOO!
Es ist ein Themenpark der auch ein paar Tiere hat, so würde es passender beschrieben sein. Allerdings tut das der Fazination keinen Abbruch. Für uns persönlich ist BUSH GARDENS die bessere ALTERNATIVE zu Disney World in Orlando. Der Park ist gut zu erreichen, aufegräumt preislich wesentlich günstiger (wenn man bitte beachtet dass man für Kleinkinder seinen Buggy bitte selber mitbringt). Das neue Sesamstrassen Camp ist toll für die 3 – 5 Jährigen. Insgesamt ist es der familienfreundlichere Park für Familien mit kleinen Kindern. Er ist überschaubarer als Disney, die Attraktionen sind kindgerechter.
Unser Eindruck:
Kinder 3 – 10 = BUSH GARDENS
Kinder 10 – 99 = Disney
Es gibt übrigens als GEHEIMTIP Kombikarten aus BUSH GARDENS und SEAWORLD diese kann man sich in jedem Triple A (AAA) Büro kaufen, AAA ist sowas wir der ADAC der USA. Dort bekommt man auch mal gerne gute Karten der Region umsonst.
Viel Spaß! Und ja die Jeep Safari unbedingt machen!

Busch Gardens ist eine tolle Mischung aus Zoo und Freizeitpark. Die Eintrittspreise sind ziemlich happig, aber dafür kann man sich hier auch mit der ganzen Familie einen ganzen Tag (wohl problemlos auch länger) beschäftigen.
Der Zoo-​Teil an sich ist schon sehr interessant. Bei den einzelnen Gehegen, die in den meisten Fällen ziemlich großzügig angelegt sind, kann man den Tieren trotzdem relativ nah kommen, wenn diese grad in Fensternähe sind. Bei der Rundbahn, hat man auch einen tollen ausblick auf die Flächen auf denen Giraffen, Zebras, Nashörner und Co. leben.
Zusätzlich gibt es dann noch diverse Achterbahnen, 3 (!) Wasserbahnen, bei denen man dank des ganzjährig warmen Wetters ruhig auch mal nass werden kann, einen Teil mit Kinder-​Karussells, einem Kirmes-​Bereich, in dem es die typischen Kirmes– Fahrgeschäfte gibt und vieles andere.
Bei Kostenfaktor ist noch zu erwähnen, dass das Parken am Park mit 14 $ und z.b. das ausleihen eines Buggys für Kinder mit 15 $ ebenfalls noch mal ordentlich zu Buche schlagen.
Positiv ist allerdings, dass das Essen für Freizeitparkverhältnisse noch relativ günstig ist. Außerdem können die Tages Eintrittskarten an einem 2. Tag innerhalb von 7 Tagen zum Wieder-​Eintritt in den Park genutzt werden.
Für ADAC Mitglieder gibt es übrigens auch immerhin einen Rabatt von 5 $ auf den Eintrittspreis.
Insgesamt war der Park sehr ordentlich, sowohl auf den Wegen als auch in Restaurants und Toiletten waren fast ständig Angestellte mit Reinigungen beschäftigt. Außerdem gab es an vielen Stellen im Park Spender zur Handdesinfektion!
Da wir im März, nach den Frühlingsferien in Florida und in der Woche dort waren, war es insgesamt angenehm leer, so dass es nirgendwo übermäßig lange Wartezeiten gab.
Fazit: insgesamt sehr empfehlenswert, auch wenn der Preis erst mal ein wenig schockiert :-)

Ich kann toffifee0660 im Wesentlichen zustimmen. Sehr schön ist die Tigerstation: unter einer Glaskuppel kann man mit etwas Glück die Tiger aus allernächster Nähe beobachten. Weniger Toll ist das überall beworbene Jungala. Auf den Werbeplakaten an den Highways sieht man einen Jungen, der voller Begeisterung unter einem Flugdrachen hängt. In Wirklichkeit sitzt man unter einem Minidrachen und fährt ein Stahlseil 5 Meter vorwärts und rückwärts. Da haben manche Kinderspielplätze mehr zu bieten.

also ich hätte es ja nicht wirklich als zoo bezeichnet, sondern als themenpark, wo man zwischen den rollercoastern tiere anschauen kann. eine loopingbahn geht sogar direkt über das tigergehege. für die tiere vielleicht etwas stressig.
der name busch kommt von der anheuser busch brauerei und bedeutet auch, dass es im park an einem stand freibier gibt. zwar nur in 0.1-bechern, aber bei dem preis muss man sich wohl mindestens ein bud gönnen.
besonderers cool fand ich die neue loopingbahn, wo man 30m steil bergab fährt. der wagen ist so konstruiert, dass beim runterfahren alle freie sicht haben. außerdem wartet er oben in gekippter position 20min (ok 10sek, aber gefühlt seeehr lange ;-)), bevor es denn in die tiefe geht. von orlando ist der park aber noch eine gute autostunde entfernt. für besucher der tampa bay oder fort myers ist der park dann schon näher.

ZOO mal anders. hier besticht das Wildlife hautnah. der Park ist so angelegt, dass natürliche Barrieren errichtet wurden, statt Zäune, Gitter und Mauern. auch leben verschiedene Tiergruppen
wie auch in der Savanne. wunderschön zu beobachten. Auch in diesem Park gibt es Rollercoaster für den persönlichen Fun-​Faktor.
Bei einem Besuch in Orlando sollte man diesen Park gesehen haben

Buschgardens ist eine perfekte Mischung aus Freizeitpark und Zoologischem Garten. Der Park ist nicht nur was für Kinder sondern und für Erwachsene.
Buschgardens ist kein Zoo im wie man in hier in Deuschland kennt. In ihm werden die Tiere nicht in kleinen Gehegen, sondern in riesigen natürlich Anlagen gehalten.
Die Freizeitparkattraktionen sind nicht separat angesiedelt sondern direkt zwischen den Tiergehegen. Insbesondere Achterbahnfans dürften voll auf ihre Kosten kommen, da drei der größten und schnellsten Achterbahnen der USA.
Sheikra ist eine geniale Achterbahn. allerdings geht sie 90° senkrecht nach unten oh man. das ist genial!
Dann gibt es noch die Holzachterbahn und eine der schnellsten Achterbahnen der Welt 150 km schnelleinfach genial.
