Don’t make these ride mistakes!

Don't you make these ride mistakes when choosing which ride to go on first. IMHO head to either Cheetah Hunt or Iron Gwazi. They always have the longest lines throughout the day as they are some of the more thrilling rollercoasters at Busch Gardens Tampa. Follow for more theme park tips.

Man really recommended the two rides with the most wait time in the whole park😂

[@yakoriawillis1328]

Go on weekdays we’ll summer is almost here now but I recommended week days!

[@charlie5752]

just googled cause idk what a rope drop is lmao he means these two should be the two you try to go for if you come in as the park is opening, to try and avoid lines😂

[@sionan7937]

Yes, for rope drop. Rope drop means to get there when the park opens. So he's telling you to do these two rides at rope drop before the line gets long. Because the other rides have shorter lines, it's not worth running to them at rope drop. You can get on them easily even when it's busy.

[@WalrusCarp]

Exactly, thank you!

[@WalrusCarp]

Yup, that’s why I suggest doing them as soon as the park opens (aka rope drop).

[@friedboytastegood8557]

irl iron gwazis drop looks ten times higher than what it looks like on camera

[@Gods.Daughter.Always]

Is it worth riding?

[@ghostofFL]

​@This.girl.luvs.fishin yes but you're gonna feel like you're out of the seat the whole time

[@Gods.Daughter.Always]

@@ghostofFL okay cuz I’m riding it with my Friends Wednesday

[@Alexei-si4zj]

Yes

[@jellybean0L]

Would definitely recommend cheetah hunt, gwazi, or cobras curse. They consistently have insanely high wait times and are all super fun rides. Only downside to rope dropping cobras is you might miss the cool exposition video, but that video hasn't been running lately anyway.

[@WalrusCarp]

💯 agree with you

[@Ianjo_10]

Cobras curse has a lil problem cuz its most of the time broken

[@NosotrosNoInteligente]

cobra curse is gun cheetah hunt is horrifying

[@sionan7937]

Born and raised in Tampa Florida, been coming to Busch Gardens my entire life. I love roller coasters! But I'll never ride Iron Gwazi again, I thought I was gonna die 🤣

[@WalrusCarp]

You’re not wrong, it’s really intense, but give it one more go 😉

[@samu-chan]

suck it up and ride it woman

[@RLDPAFE]

Also a Tampa native born and raised I concur that feeling of knowing your appointment with the lord is next during that drop. But I’ll be going again. Bih you know you felt so proud of yourself when you looked back at that coaster! 😂😂😂

[@NoMansLandTP]

76 when it's playing nice, much faster when it wakes up 😂

[@that_1_channel]

I think doing Gwazi, cheetah, the cobras curse is the move

[@southeastcoasters]

For all my visits, gwazi was not open at ropedrop. That’s why I always play it safe and ride cheetah hunt first, since that maintains a 90 minute wait for pretty much the entire day

[@SoonAmiX]

Cobras curse is definitely the perfect first time rider coaster i wouldnt recommend sand serpent or air grover

[@southeastcoasters]

Update, on my last visit gwazi was open at rope drop. Depends if they test before 10

[@southeastcoasters]

Shout out to gwazi, I remembered when it was all wood

[@mattolson898]

Very smooth now 🙌

[@matthewlucas7796]

Hi! Platinum pass holder here. Cheetah hunt should be the one you rope drop most of the time, it’s the most popular at the park. Iron Gwazi runs better and faster during the day when it warms up so I wouldn’t do it first thing. Sheikra is one I would suggest trying as a rope drop at least once, when you hang over the edge you get that feeling of ‘oh… I’m actually on a roller coaster!’

[@demcelticstho]

Riding Gwazi is like getting a free chiropractic neck adjustment

[@cravensunshine5701]

Gwazi last row will bring you to tears.. not in a good way!

[@juiciestlemonadeofyoutube]

Nah thats kumba.

[@AscenciaFL]

Iron Gwazi is slow in the morning. Ride later in the day

[@mattolson898]

Even slow, it's a great wakeup. When they do early entry for pass members, I'll go straight there before anyone is in the park. 😂

[@BashBroAdventures]

That run 😂

[@WalrusCarp]

hahaha yea dude watch out for the water

[@josiah5640]

I did shiekra and iron gwazi Montu cheetah hunt Tigris and Congo river rapids and corbras curse it was all so fun

[@Rooibos_]

CHEETAH HUNT IS MY FAV‼️‼️

[@plutoniumparker3849]

Yeah, Cheetah Hunt's line is the hardest to wait through, it's very slow. Ahh, the love for my home park makes my heart happy ❤️

Surprised you didnt cover how amazing the animal exhibits were back in the 90s when Jack Hannah was based there. I remember watching old VHS tapes about the nursery there.

[@PelePele83]

Sheikra is like Griffon which I love

[@linasanders8451]

If you rope drop sheikra or kumba, you're likely to be one of the only ones on it since everyone goes for the rides in the front

[@WalrusCarp]

💯 agree with you

[@southeastcoasters]

Problem is that these rides open at 10:30 and 11. Gives people enough time to head to the middle and back of the park to experience these rides. Plus, why would you waste 30 minutes when you could rope drop cheetah hunt instead

[@Leviathanliams_adventures]

I Iron Gwazi is actually a 95° job, making it beyond vertical

[@thedude4063]

Dude spitting facts. Also, Gwazi's drop ain't vertical, it's beyond vertical 😎

[@Starnam3]

Cheetah hunt was my 2 fav, my fav was sheikra!

[@whatcanudo4metho]

Literally right down the street from me lol. Sheikra is my favorite but Cheetah Run is awesome too.

[@overbanked]

Cheetah Hunt runs much better in the evening. That Windcatcher Tower trench drop has massive airtime then

[@VerbilKint]

Iron Gwazi is way too thrilling for me. Love watching it run though

[@TBsports17]

Sheikra is just as scary as Iron Gwazze

Don't ride Iron Gwazi as your first coaster after a long hiatus of riding coasters! I thought I was gonna die! 😂 Great coaster though!

My grandpa and uncle helped build cheetah hunt. I always thought that was pretty cool.

[@WalrusCarp]

That’s awesome!

[@cammiandmr.bananasavengers]

I’ve bin a lot. Chesshunt is my favorite

[@jeffreysmith4586]

My recommendation is to go on a weekday during non peak season if you can. I went on a Tuesday in September and every ride was a walk on. I went on Iron Gwazi three times in a row and didn't even have to leave my seat!

[@juiciestlemonadeofyoutube]

Heres my rating of rides i rode there: 5: Tigris. This one’s really popular but the reason why it’s on the bottom of my list is because it’s quite painful. That first bank really squeezes my legs and the entire ride i was just kinda waiting to get off 4. Kumba. Kind of the same story as Tigris except it was an actual rollercoaster. It still bashed my head against the sides a lot, but it’s the oldest operating ride in the park, so it’s excusable. 3. SheiKra. Really fun ride, the drop is awesome and it’s quite fast paced. 2. Iron Gwazi. This one’s really, REALLY close, but Iron Gwazi is also amazing. Smoothest coaster in the park, FASTEST coaster in the park, what’s not to love? Sadly I found one more coaster better by just a small bit… 1. Montu. I LOVE this coaster. It’s unexplainable, but you have to see it to believe it. It’s quite fast and it has lots of upside down segments, making it the scariest in my opinion. It’s the only inverted coaster in the park, which gives it some bonus points. God, you don’t know how close this is to number 2, because I love gwazi too :( Sadly I couldn’t ride Cheetah Hunt, Cobra’s Curse, and the new droptower Falcon’s Fury because we had some setbacks. But, there’s one coaster that beats them all… 0. Fuggin AIR GROVER!!!! Just kidding. In all honesty, best theme park I’ve ever been to and I hope to come back some day!!

[@davidsoncheerguy]

That guardians Fanny pack tho. Haha love it

[@eq.juliaa]

i recommend that one water log ride! i forgot what it’s called, but the line is always SOOO long.

[@sabrawarner7276]

I went to busch gardens recently, rode montu which I think montu is really fun for an older rollercoaster, and also went on cobras curse, which is really fun its unique from the upside down and elevating parts, but cheetas hunt is the best. in my opinion its 9/10

[@brownsense1]

Iron Gwazi looks mad crazy... wow..

[@WalrusCarp]

Yea it’s intense, but if you did that, the rest should be no problem!

[@angellovely57]

@@WalrusCarp it helped her understand what I was willing to do, I kept riding cobras curse

[@MarbleCarnivalDude]

If you choose to not go to Cheetah Hunt first during immediate rope drop, don’t try to queue for it until mid-afternoon, as Cheetah Hunt gets the longest queues in the morning

[@southeastcoasters]

It usually sustains a 90 minute wait until like 5-6 pm due to the afternoon crowds

[@MarbleCarnivalDude]

not 90, but it does drop down to 65-45 after 3 or 4 ish@@southeastcoasters

[@southeastcoasters]

@@MarbleCarnivalDude it really depends on the day. The times I’ve gone, through most of the day it had atleast a 75 minute wait after 10:30 and maintained that until like 5 pm. I do remember that CH can have like a 30 minute wait mid day but like I said, all depends on the day

[@Aspectgorilla]

dont be scared guys, all the rides there look scary but it really isnt that bad, the only one that was bad was tigris because it hurts ur hip personally for me because it goes up then backwards and hangs side ways for around 5-7 seconds and i dont reccomend going on cheetah hunt because its only a huge line which can always lead up to an hour and iron gwazi isnt that bad they make it seem scary which it really isnt

[@juiciestlemonadeofyoutube]

Kumba and Tigris were the only ones that physically hurt me. But kumba can be excused since it’s old and rickety

[@WalrusCarp]

Oh no that’s not good

[@wintersnow4789]

It actually kind of depends on the days. Sundays the lines are shorter than on other days and most rides have long lines but if cheetah hunt has both trains open and shieKra also has both trains open then it will go a bit faster. Kumba is rough and not my personal favorite but has a short line and Montu is really nice but it also depends on the days bc sometimes the lines are short but other days it is really long.

Just so you know sheikra Is very dependent on how busy it is if it's like medium crowds it's usually short wait time. But when it's busy sheikra gets insane lines especially when it's gonna close for fire works

[@lydia8560]

I walked right onto Shreikra and I was peeing myself the 30 seconds before I got on the ride.

[@teddybeaker]

I dont reccomend iron gwazi for rope drop instead near closing

[@NintendoCraft28]

Cheetah Hunt is perfect rope drop, you can go straight to Montu, Cobra’s Curse, Kumba and Falcon’s Fury from there, then slowly make your way around the park. If it’s not a busy summer day, you can get almost everything besides Gwazi done by 12-1PM!

[@timjouwstra]

Bro, who in the right mindset would rope drop a B&M? Literally the best capacity machines in most parks and won't have any significant line for at least an hour after the park opens.

[@ant_coaster_cal5548]
