When I lived in Florida, I lived 30 minutes away from Busch Gardens Tampa, and my mom and I used to go all the time. Sadly we moved to the other side of the country a year before Iron Gwazi opened, and we were both anticipating its opening. I remember used to be terrified of roller coasters that go upside down, until my mom convinced me to go on Kumba, and my dad convinced me to go on Cheetah Hunt

So many attractions discontinued that were awesome. Bird Show, Marrakesh Theatre, Dolphin Show, Rhino Rally, Tanganyika Tidal Wave, Questor, Katanga, Marching Band and so much more.

Anyone else watching this to decide if it's worth going? I was looking for exactly a channel like this

​@@themepark101UPDATE 2023.10: Loved the park! The quality is just there and the operations are definitely better than any Six Flags park. Iron Gwazi, Cheetah Hunt and SheiKra are my favorite coasters there. And I really love the constant animal exhibits everywhere. Alligators, cheetahs, orangutans, and much more! I went on a heavy rain day but still managed to get a really good day out of it since the weather eventually got better a few hours before closing. It was a really good visit. And snagged 9 more credits to my coaster count! Obviously I would love more coasters but that safari animals exhibit is a MUST and I don't want them removing their safari land. Love the park and really recommend it!

Pro tip, if your going on a day with a chance of rain, or at least know that there will be rain, bring a poncho, come time to leave, trams don’t start running for a while, and lines add up, leading to some walking.

It's on the my 'to do' list, but typically, my restaurant guides don't too well on the algorithm. Once I have more free time at the end of the year, I will definitely consider it! 😁

It's a shame. In 1978 my Aunt took us to Florida. We went to Disney back when they were on a Ticket Packet and enjoyed it, but we LOVED Busch Gardens. But now you are missing a lot of the magic. A Park should not just offer Roller Coasters. There should be a variety of rides and attractions. You're missing the Magic you used to have. Shows. I'd love to see more shows than an ice show. I hope Busch Gardens takes all of this during thier massive renovations. Unless you are into thrill rides, there's not much left. Sorry. Fail,

I thuoght falcon's fury was closed?

Is there a place to put your bags when on the rides? Also is the parking free?

October isn't usually too busy unless its during the weekends or holidays. You should be able to do most or even all of the coasters in one day. Typical wait times will be about 20-45 mins, with Iron Gwazi around 60 mins.
