Tons of work is going on for the station currently as well and prep is happening for the ride restricted fencing around the track layout.

Of all the parks in the US and all the different coaster types, I don’t think their is a more requested coaster than a giga at BGT than any park in the entire country.
Thanks for another great update Dan! Love those ride views they were awesome! As well as the cheetahs and of course Pink chickens! 🦩🦩🎢! Phoenix Rising looks pretty awesome! Thanks Dan! 🦩🎢

Thank you!
If that is a train under the tarp on the brake, it has been there since Friday at least. I believe a pull through was going to be done this week or next week.
Tons of work
I posted about 2 weeks ago about the Giga thing Glad people are catching on But new markers though… Oh my Get the hype ready
Thank you for also including wait times for other attractions. I’m definitely purchasing quick queue. Going on Thursday the 30. Knowing my luck, lines will be wicked long lol.

Early in park works but if you are not within a few hours of bg it is best to buy the quick queue.... but weekdays are still pretty slow still, just last weekend was a holiday.
When do you think it's gonna open
They were working on the station when we were there Friday.
That Cheetah was scared of you, Dan 😅

It's weird they went from every coaster having trenches/tunnels to no coaster since Cobra's Curse having any. Really adds to the experience of a park that's flat. Though, I guess not every ride needs it. Hopefully there's some good near misses. Looks like you'll barely miss the station and skyride. And I guess it does have the 1 trench out front. I really think their next investment should be renovating the animal exhibits on the backside of Cobra's Curse/Montu that goes to the train station. Those are aging badly. Along with Jungala. Phenix Rising wiil be a solid addition though.

I mean we’ve only had one coaster since cobras curse and Phoenix rising is going to have a trench.

Hey Dan, I believe some of those markings(at least the blue ones by Kumba and the train tracks) are for some train work. I've seen them working on the track there on 2 separate occasions, as well as by Sheikra.

Interesting...thanks for the insight!
since you’re looking at the Phoenix rising and since you’re at Busch Gardens can you ride the train please?😂
Cedar Point rides get covered in spiders at night time. Every time I have been there, it was like that. All over the railings and everything

Love the updates, Dan! I really enjoy your content. Would love to hear your possible predictions for the new project! We know United Parks (hate that name) has the relationship with B&M but do you think it could look to their other relationship with Intamin for the major, possible Giga project?
WE NEED A OPENING DATE

It gets way too close to the Skyride for my liking.
I'll be there on the 3rd. My daughter will be disappointed phoenix won't be open yet.
since you’re at Busch Gardens, can you ride the train, please?
Im calling it, its a giga
OMG if they a giga this will be absolutely epic.. BGT will be the coaster capital of florida and head and shoulders above BGW.
Interesting that a marker is that close to Kumba. Hopefully that doesn’t mean Kumba’s demise

I have my doubts about them removing Kumba, considering the just replaced some of the footers and gave the ride new signage.
I grew up with the Williamsburg version of the park. I’ve never been to the Tampa park. Does anyone know if the VA version is up charging for the sky ride as well?

This so interesting how brush garden Tampa is growing so much and brush garden in Virginia isn’t growing much that so weird to me I think this park is more popular then the one in Virginia spending a lot more money on this park

Would be cool if Busch Gardens and B&M made the trains swing sometime in the future. I was looking forward to that lol.
Paying for the sky way is crazy it’s a free attraction

They just brought it back to life after spending millions, they need to charge non pass members to recoup and upkeep. SWO charges for Sky Tower.
i dont even have to be there or see them to not want to be there. All i have to do is hear the teenagers.
