My Day at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay

[@nozzwald]

Dude you’re my favorite coaster content creator by far, you’re a coaster nerd who isn’t cringe about it and your casualness shines through. Your Kings Island video hyped me up for my trip so much and I had a killer time!! Busch Gardens Tampa is on my short list so thanks again for an awesome vid!! I hope all the success for you Mr coaster KZbin man 🫡

Yeah this dude nailed it. By far the best coaster channel! The KZbin algorithm does do something nice from time to time. I a B.G.T. local and this video of you is perfect! Looking forward to seeing reaction to VelociCoaster and what analogy you'll use if you were to compare to The Gwazi of Iron.

[@TheAttendee]

@6:30 fun fact about Cobra's Curse and the smell. There used to be a walk-through exhibit that replicated the tomb of King Tut where the queue is now. They created an artificial smell to help sell the illusion you're in a previously undisturbed tomb of a dead guy and after some decades it's just permanently seeped into the walls. I get nostalgic walking through that queue from the smell alone.

[@baronsonics]

Montu is just insane. I sitll remember every second of that coaster after not having been to the park since 09. During the batwing section there was this metal plate on the ground that would rattle so loud as the train flew past it. It created this INSANE roaring sound, and the trains just felt like they were going 1000 mph through there. I can see its not there anymore. Then it goes into this break run that prepares you for the corkscrews, and you're just flying through that bit. The entire ride is so memorable, lost track how many times I've been on it. My favorite rides were the night rides before the park closed, it just felt faster. And I loved the twinkling lights of the park, and little lights positioned throughout the track like on the break runs. Whole thing is such a goddamn vibe. The only inverted track that has given me a similar experience, including the night time experiences, is in Busch Gardens Virginia with the ride Alpengeist. That ride kicks asss. Top three thrills in my life are that, Montu and I305. I had no idea about I305 before I went on it, it was just this ride in the back of Kings Dominion with seemingly no queue line haha, seemed innocent. Kumba and Shiekra were my first go to's in the park right when it would open. My friend and I would be the only two kids on Shiekra bright and early. Shame about your first kumba ride. Seems like the track is deteriorating, I've heard they plan on removing it. I remember it being a little shaky in 09 but it was still smooth enough to enjoy a lot. This is making me wanna fly down to Tampa for a day or two just to revisit. There's so many new rides there I would love to go on. Definitely make your way up to Busch Gardens Virginia though, you'll fucking love it. Shiekra has my heart for Dive coasters still to this day but Griffon and Alpengeist seriously goated

[@shoskip]

I am SO glad I clicked on this video. This is my local park and I fuckn LOVE how chill you are showing off all the coasters. It's hard to come by coaster vids like this. Instantly subbed.. you're gonna make it for sure.

[@prod.vengeance]

Dude this is a great video. Love the chill vibes. This format is perfect.

[@missmandashell]

I grew up at this park visiting every weekend or skipping school to sneak over on days when it felt like you were the only person there. We would ride Montu back to back 10x in a row! Gwazi wasn't Iron Gwazi yet but still a ton of fun! Kumba wasn't nearly as rough as it is now (or maybe I'm just old 😅) and there was an awesome water ride called tidal wave that you could stand on the bridge under the drop and get absolutely drenched!! It's such a beautiful park with all the gardens and animal exhibits. Now that I've seen your review, I've got to get back and ride Iron Gwazi!!

[@FaceRippedOff]

You absolutely need to go and ride Iron Gwazi. One of the best coasters in the world. Love hearing these stories of everyone's experiences with the park growing up. Makes me so happy!

This video comes off as a breath of fresh air from the content you see these days on youtube; you can feel that this video exists for no reason other than what it's presented to be.

[@bogusWasHere]

super glad youtube recommended me this video. bgt is my home park, and even though i really like the concept of roller coasters, i still havent gotten my confidence up to get on most of them. loved your commentary on the park.

[@FaceRippedOff]

@@bogusWasHere you should try some of the coasters! Start with cobras curse, then do cheetah hunt, then SheiKra or kumba, then you can do any coaster in the world tbh. Personally, I think gwazi is super forgiving because it’s so smooth and flowy. It’s intense but it’s so so fun! Go at your own pace and just know that you’re gonna be safe. Coasters are safer than walking down the street!

[@FaceRippedOff]

@@bogusWasHere BGT has a lot of great smaller stuff to start with. Phoenix rising can get u used to hanging your feet like Montu. Kumba has the positive gs. Sheikra has the big drop. Cheetah hunt has the airtime.

[@bogusWasHere]

@@FaceRippedOff thanks for the tips. ive only ever been on scorpion, which was enough for me to get over a fear of inversions, and phoenix rising, which, like u said, got me used to dangling feet. cobra's curse is definitely up next for me, and cheetah hunt looks awesome, i just need to get over how tall it looks. iron gwazi is absolutely the ultimate goal, just because i feel like an asshole having one of the best coasters in the world in my backyard, and an annual pass, and i've just never ridden it.

[@FaceRippedOff]

@@bogusWasHere do cobras curse next and then cheetah hunt and then sheikra to help with the heights. Cheetah hunts stays low to the ground for the most of it. Sheikra is big but it’s very graceful. It’ll be scary but you got it! My girlfriend is afraid of the height aspect of coasters but she always comes off loving it! And if you do it and you hated it, then you know it’s not for you.

[@floridaredneck]

I have a few words about the Iron Gwazi you like; I do too. I loved hearing your description, so in return, here's mine. I hadn't been on a coaster in 15 years I'd guess. This wild ride will vibrate your entire soul and my ass can still feel it, which is a good thing. I had a few choice words while screaming on such a life-changing, larger than any imagination ride to be erected. You should hear mine, but you might not be shocked to hear the descriptives that came out of my mouth, having ridden it yourself (or it rode you). I wouldn't risk my KZbin account repeating that here, or maybe just a little, but there's more. A video cannot not replicate the rocket speed you start at when you drop into hell in the beginning, and then nearly rips your ass apart with negative G's, twists and loops and turns at unreal speeds and the most incredible experience outside of my bedroom I have ever experienced. I recommend an inversion table treatment afterward because a couple times I felt like I was in a can crusher. This coaster will make you forget what you are wearing, who is sitting next to you and when you were born. I noticed the hair on your legs survived; very fortunate. It doesn't just drop you from the top you see in the video, it shoots you like a bullet from the clouds to the bottom of the frigging earth so fast you can't measure speeds like that. For an instant before you become gun powder, you can see the entire park, for that matter you can see Orlando and the Gulf of Mexico from there. After that, be glad your fuckin' balls are attached, because it gives "ride" a new definition, and that word has not been invented yet. You'll see wood and steel, different colors flash by so fast, an impressionist painting would be more clear. You'll wonder what in the hell you were thinking when you got in line, if you've never ridden it before. It will make you pray for your soul, even if you have no religion. After having been tortured in the front seat, I went back for another beating in the back seat. I was insane to ride it once, so why not twice? What's the difference? How would I know, I rode it back to back and wasn't un-dizzy until I had time to compose myself a little later when I tried to walk in a straight line; good luck with that for a day and a half. I do remember trying to let go of the padding and relax when it lied to me, making me think I was safe, until it whupped my ass again and flung me around like laundry in the spin cycle. I also found myself trying to look ahead, say like 1/10,00t0h of a second, to see which way it was going to throw me next. That worked all of twice. Doesn't matter which way it throws you anyhow, because it's going to whip you the other way and turn your butt over with or without your permission. You best not plan on any direction with this beast; let it eat you alive and wait for it to spit you out. I am a different man now. When I think roller coaster, I don't think of that little park I went to as a kid, or 6 Flags, or anything but one - GWAZI. I think of the most masterful invention of human design to terrify and illuminate the human experience that cannot happen any other way. Every emotion I have ever had blew through my mind as did the physical experience or nearly blowing my ears off, and it caused a reaction that is reserved for adult content. This roller coaster is not just a ride; t is truly life-changing. For one who is terrified of heights, that compounded my experience, yet in a good way. If I could conquer that fear, and also live through two terms as a prisoner of this magnificent god-like creation, my life is changed. I'm still afraid of heights, but I'd ride GWAZI again, because I believe in doing crazy things, even though it is terrifying. I swear, I never wanted a motorcycle, never thought about one, until this thing came along. It's the only way to recall that feeling as I instantly did when I sat on one and started going. I went to Zephyrhills shortly after and got my motorcycle endorsement for my license and I started riding. I had to feel that wind again and feel my ass vibrating as I remembered so vividly; I loved it! I am fortunate I live about 40 minutes from this park, although I went as a guest of someone who works for all of the parks here, because the entrance fee while somewhat affordable to some, is simply outrageous and I would not pay it even with a resident discount. I would pay just for a ticket for this ride by itself and nothing else though, I'm just not that interested in the rest of the park, except for rides. While more fantastical than words or even a video could show, it's not worth $135 plus parking to ride it by itself. I love roller coasters, but I'm not obsessed with them (well, I'll think on that). I should add I went on Monday; residents don't go on weekends. That's how I could catch 15 rides in less than 4 hours, but it does mean sprinting across the park 4.71 miles during that time, not that I measured it or anything. Adults: It is not possible to describe this roller coaster. Even as I write, I think of noting I say could possibly convey the experience this behemoth can do. I've been off of it for months now, but it is still with me, and I don't think that is going away, at least I hope not. Imagine your best orgasm and magnify that as many times as you can think of. It doesn't last any longer, it's just massively intense. The similarity is that I can't think of anything else you can relate to in order to describe it. If it was 45 seconds longer..., well never mind. I'm thrilled I got involved with motorcycles though, something I truly hadn't thought of until I experienced the openness, speed (not speeding) and wind, and it was all because of the Iron Gwazi. A new world with new friends opened up to me. I hope I'll get invited back someday. For me, and in only 2 words, the Iron Gwazi was "life-changing".

[@FaceRippedOff]

This comment is incredible. I straight up might make a video just reading it so the people can hear it. I couldn’t put gwazi into words nearly as well as you did.

Florida resident here, have seen the parks grow. Iron gwazi is insane, it has no mid course brake run so you do that initial drop and just madness ensues afterwards. Montu is old but still absolutely holds up, those inversions are a rush. Possibly the best inverted coaster ever. I also had the same thoughts with cheetah hunt, it's not too intense but really gorgeous ride

[@marcees_corner]

I'm 17 and I go to this park couple times a year. Love seeing your time here at Busch gardens!! I love this park to death. Riding gwazi 10 times is the only correct way to spend your time at Busch 😌✋️

[@FaceRippedOff]

@@marcees_corner amazing!! I can’t wait to go back someday

[@marcees_corner]

@FaceRippedOff yeah dude, it's an awesome place. Just praying and hoping for that giga coaster 😭🤞

[@FaceRippedOff]

@ a giga would be so sick

[@kermy9655]

Busch gardens is a place I've been going to my whole life. Glad you could enjoy it too.

[@jaytaylor5876]

Tampa native which is why I clicked the video but stayed cuz you have a good vibe. The guardians coaster at Epcot is actually really similar to cobras curse and imo way better. Same type of thing, spinning family coaster

[@huntertipton6197]

gotta love the P5 music cover

[@RSpracticalshooting]

Grew up going to Busch Gardens, have always had an amazing time.

[@graceraven3423]

On Kumba you have to put your arms up the entire ride! Someone told me to do that and you literally hover above the seat the whole ride. So awesome

[@veloceon325]

If you ever go back to BGT when Falcon's Fury is open you have to ride it. It's so much fun. I could marathon that ride all day. There could be something wrong with me, but it feels less intense dropping while facing down. I love it.

[@FaceRippedOff]

@@veloceon325 I love that shit. I’ve def gotta go back and check it out

[@doggbless]

Love your videos so darn much

[@supersaiyaneevee1573]

I rode Cobra's Curse on accident with my 4 year old. Like 15 years ago, that section had a VR ride where they put Cobra's Curse so I thought that's what it was again when it opened. When we got to the front and realised it was a coaster, I turned to him and was like "Are you sure? We dont have to". He said yea he wants to (he was just barely tall enough). Mind you, i dont like coaters, so i already dont want to do this ride at this point. By the time it was over he was terrified and said "That wasnt a good idea" lol. Scary at the time, but amazing memory that im glad to have shared with my kid.

[@FaceRippedOff]

That’s an awesome memory!

[@stevencooper564]

Grew up not too far, went almost every weekend growing up. Some fun coasters honestly, but you have to go on a slow day, or its gonna be packed. Montu front row is still the best experience.

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

Cheetah Hunt didn't have the water for a couple of years, I believe it came back last year and I was so excited when I found that out. BGT is my home park and I greatly enjoyed your review. I can tell you're having fun and I encourage you to keep it up.

[@FaceRippedOff]

Yoooo dude I love your videos!! Especially the super long ranking ones. They’re always super nice to put on. So sick to see u in my comment section

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

@@FaceRippedOff Thank you, that means so much! Keep up the great work.

[@Lexieidk]

I LOVE the montu so much it's my favorite roller coaster ever and I'm a Florida resident. One of the other reasons I love montu so much is whenever I come, there is NEVER a line longer than 10-20 minutes for it! Everyone's always too terrified of it! I took my boyfriend the week after you went and he's a roller coaster hater, I was able to convince him to go on the montu with me and that changed his perspective to a rollercoaster lover and that's how he found this video! The kumba is also the only rollercoaster that will never fail to make me puke after. Not sure why and it sucks because I love the kumba but the kumba doesn't love me.

[@kapes13]

Thanks for the great reviews of Busch Garden's Coasters, they were right on!!! I was glad you gave Kumba an extra chance, you caught on!! You should have rode Tigris though, I think it is a good prequel to Top Thrill 2 if it ever gets back up!

[@FaceRippedOff]

Maybe next time! I’ve ridden the clone at SeaWorld SD so I wanted to prioritize other stuff

[@Clairify_E]

This was my home park for over a decade until I moved out to the west coast, and Montu still remains as my favorite inverted coaster I’ve ever been on - I remember going to Howl O’ Scream and skipping all the scare zones specifically to ride Montu seven or eight times, feeling that loop over and over again. Definitely reliving it now through your video so thanks so much for your awesome content as your chill vibes and awesome music intro and personality are Grate™️ 😅

[@FaceRippedOff]

@@Clairify_E love this comment. I hope u get to go back and ride Montu soon. Such an amazing ride!

[@Clairify_E]

Luckily got to ride it 3 years ago! So being able to experience that seperate from childhood memories ​and as an adult to appreciate all the inversions and the engineering prowess that it had when it originally came out. I moved across the country like... 14 years ago so sadly can't go to the parks as often as I'd like 😅 but it makes the trips far more special now. Super excited to go to Magic Mountain here next spring (for the first time, yes I've been sleeping on that for this long) so watching your video on that park was awesome too! @@FaceRippedOff

[@FaceRippedOff]

@ magic mountain is so great for coasters!! Absolutely gotta do X2, twisted colossus, Wonder Woman, full throttle, and tatsu.

[@phillinsogood]

11:06 “Smooth like butter” that part made me laugh so hard because it’s exactly what I was thinking

[@FaceRippedOff]

Song is catchy as f

[@dshuffl3z249]

I thank KZbin algorithm for this. The beneath the mask cover was amazing! I'm a Tampa local and unfortunately do not like BG not because of the rides, the rides are awesome. But mostly because of the people lmao. Glad you enjoyed, though!

[@Nullscr1pt]

Bushy G's is my home park.. been on all the rides for the past 30 years. remember when Kumba was brand new and all you had was scorpion, python and kumba... I was at BG once when it was closed to the public and i was able to ride kumba 14 times in a row without getting off... that was my limit... i could have rode it infinitely that day and on the 14th run i felt like i might die... love it. great content!

[@FaceRippedOff]

That’s amazing! I was bummed I didn’t get to ride scorpion. I don’t think I could do 14 rides on Kumba lol

[@lpatierno84]

Scorpion was my favorite. Sloppiest ride ever, felt like it was gonna fall apart and I loved that lol

[@Vauun]

Haha, this is my local park. I used to go all the time as a kid but I'm not as big into theme parks anymore. Glad you liked it! I personally think the place took a downturn after Annheuser Busch sold it, but it's still a nice park. Took me ages as a kid to get the nerve to go on Sheikra but it's one of my favorite coasters at the park now.

[@luminaessence3077]

Florida resident here, I haven't been to Busch Gardens since I've been an adult, but I remember when Sheikra wasn't a floorless coaster and there wasn't an Iron Gwazi, but there was a wooden coaster called Gwazi. I think it had a tiger theme back then if I remember correctly.

[@FaceRippedOff]

@@luminaessence3077 gwazi was 2 separate coasters. Lion and tiger. They turned it into a massive steel coaster using the same structure as old Gwazi.

[@luminaessence3077]

@FaceRippedOff Ah, so I wasn't crazy thinking it was 2 coasters. I haven't been to Busch Gardens in over 15 years, and wooden coasters were never my favorite, they tended to give me headaches. Thank you for the history lesson!

[@FaceRippedOff]

@ you should go back and check out iron gwazi! It’s incredible. Glass smooth as well

[@joelbanks8868]

Montu is great to ride once per day, it's also one of the older rides in the park so it doesn't have as long of a line if any, which makes it easy to ride multiple times back to back and get a mad headache. I've done this, it was fun but never again lol.

[@adriansierra751]

That bloody intro!!!! I'm down!

[@BaysideErides]

On Kumba there’s a spot where if you’re sitting on the right most seat in the row as you go into a right turn right at ground level (14:10 mark) if you hold your arm out to your right towards the ground static electricity comes up from the ground. You feel it, you hear it. Next time you’re in town try it. I’ve felt it, my kid felt it. It’s a thing. Cheers!

[@FaceRippedOff]

That’s wild lol. Gotta try it next time I go

[@benisjammin626]

Kumba has 1 train that is definitely more rough for some reason. Been that way for years. The back row is rough, but that's why I like it. Though I often feel really motion sick after. One of my favorite rides, but I really have to space out rerides on it

[@zander3096]

I live about 30 mins from this park, absolutely adore it

[@amandahallows5444]

Do Cheetah Hunt in the dark if you ever can! There's little light on the track and it feels like your flying or some shit, really awesome.

[@coasterjuice02]

So glad you went back for a 2nd Kumba ride! Sorry your backrow ride wasn't good! You probably got train 1 which is near its cycle limit. Definitely recommend back left on a newer train(ask the ops) if you ever go back and it's still there. I'd say brace wherever you sit. It the back you can try and stand during the loop for hangtime

[@coasterjuice02]

Sorry, I love Kumba a LOT

[@FaceRippedOff]

@@coasterjuice02 I heard it’s closing for good. Is that true? I’d love to be able to give it a few more rides someday.

[@coasterjuice02]

@@FaceRippedOff we aren't sure yet. It seems like everything with it is just frozen. I'm hearing it's minor and major. So we'll see in a few months for sure

[@loboseesthings6269]

On the locker thing. (As a Tampa native) just ask the stuff if you can put your bag on the exit. (For most of Bush gardens you can) it usually pretty chill and theft isn't a huge thing there

[@FaceRippedOff]

@@loboseesthings6269 yeah I noticed that. I’d say when I went, they were pretty strict on it. Sometimes they’d send ppl to the lockers when they waited the whole line

[@ElinBedelin]

7:16 at Epcot in Disney world there’s a ride kinda like that and it’s called guardians of the galaxy rewind or smth like that and it’s rlly fun

[@FaceRippedOff]

Yes! I have been on it before and it is amazing! I should have been more clear in my video. I meant the same exact model from Mack rides. Like an outdoor coaster that goes forwards, backwards, and free spin. Guardians is on a controlled spin. That's my bad.

[@ElinBedelin]

No you’re fine! I just wanted to say it in case you didn’t know

[@MrShawn1190]

Going through the tunnel on Kumba at night is definitely a cool experience (the roar at night is even more intense)!

[@sterlingklein5626]

Cheetah Hunt is meant to be like youre a cheetah, running and banking on the ground as you chase your prey. Thinking about it that way when you ride it gives it a little bit more fun. Youre on the prowl. *Edit bc im writing as i watch* also if you go with someone with a disability in your party, uou can request a full round trip on the sky ride and just use it as decompression time to see the park. When you just wanna relax and have some downtime away from crowds, its great. They clip a lil flag or carabiner onto the skyride and it means youre doing the full circle. And yes, montu has gotten a lil shakier over the years but it was always what my family made a beeline to. Such a fun coaster My family calls Kumba the headache maker. Its so rough. If you ever go back, and its hot out, roaring river rapids is a massive family favorite. The "gator" on iron gwazi's car is meant to be one of two dueling animals. One was an tiger and one was lion. The ride was originally a wooden coaster (and still uses some of the old framework) and Gwazi was two separate cars that raced each other, so you could even choose which team youd ride on. Iron Gwazi held true to its roots and kept the animal themed cars

[@graceraven3423]

This is my home park, the first time I rode the iron gwazi was at hallow scream in the middle of the night. I didn't know what the track looked like so it was just pure Terror the entire time. It literally felt like I was going to have a heart attack, I grew up riding of these rides my whole life, and I had been on the old Kwasi a few times, I never liked it cuz it was too shaky and I had a bad experience on it one time. But the iron gwazi was like next level. Unforgettable and so much force plus nowhere to hold onto!

[@konspiracybeats]

Sick video bro! This is my local park for the last 30 yrs. Used to get the year pass and jump over there every weekend for a while. Agree with your rankings too - you shoulda seen when Iron Gwazi was just Gwazi, that shit was incredibly violent/shaky and headache inducing (but still somehow fun). Definitely better now that it's been redone. Would love to ride along with you if you're ever back bro! Cheers and happy riding

[@DrewWatson-g9z]

Love the video

[@brettzolstick989]

Hell yeah I'm glad we got some Kumba appreciation. That used to be my favorite ride in the park until they built Iron Gwazi. The sheer intensity is insane. I always get tunnel vision at the bottom of the first drop. Its a shame the track is so rough. Everyone I ride with always complains about it. I'm fairly tall, so my head doesn't get banged around in the restraints so much. Which means my favorite coaster always has a short line even on busy days. I just hope they don't end up closing it down. Would be great if they could fix it so that it gets more of the recognition it deserves.

[@brettzolstick989]

Also the persona music goes hard

[@FaceRippedOff]

@@brettzolstick989 Kumba is so sick. The back is rough but tbh not as rough as an old arrow like viper at magic mountain. Kumba is so sick

[@jimthar17]

Kumba and Montu are BnM goats. That is a hill I will fight and die on. Cheetah, Cobra, and Shiekra are also fantastic. I’ve not been there in years so I haven’t ridden new Gwazi, Tigris or Phoenix yet. Shame you didn’t get to ride Scorpion. For a smaller coaster it was surprisingly intense. I’m actually sad that it’s closing.

[@gregfotos]
