Top 5 Things at Busch Gardens Tampa

This is my five favorite things to do when I visit Busch Gardens Tampa.

[@wickedroller]

Ive ridden every major coaster in the US and it takes alot to "thrill" me but Iron Gwazi back row in the afternoon is the only coaster I thought wanted to murder me.

[@MrWordcat]

I almost died riding back row in the afternoon

[@bunobeatz5737]

Yeah fr it's a leg snapper for sure

[@tydolla7378]

Old school wooden joint. I haven't rode yet. Was closed when i was constant . Cant wait to go back. Thanks to you first one on list next time👍

[@sheliaware239]

I rode all the coasters at BG including the Gwazi before the iron. I however am afraid to ride the Iron Gwazi. I know It doesn't make since, but it is what it is. I will avoid it like a plague. My favorite is still the Montu, super smooth ride😜

[@kouri1]

im confused what does back row have to do with anything lol (does it make it more fun?)

[@CoffinFullOfBees]

Cheetah Hunt is a great coaster, i will never understand why it's not more appreciated. When it opened i waited 3 hours in line and never got to ride it. Years later i walked right on and loved it! I care deeply about ride aesthetics, and that running up a tree like a cheetah element is both visually stunning and fun.

[@southeastcoasters]

People were expecting maverick at cp, so their expectations were let down when an Intamin blitz is tamer then it.

[@MahiGod88]

It is great but also overrated and not deserving of the long waits it gets. I just went and it was fun but rides like Mantua and kumba were only 20 but was actually just walking through the line.

[@southeastcoasters]

@@MahiGod88 Enthusiasts actually trash on this coaster badly. I think it’s a good step up coaster between cobras curse and the monster B&Ms like montu and Kumba, but it has a couple sneaky airtime moments. Heading up the wind catcher tower, going down it, the twisted hill after the straight track and the strong airtime hill after the final launch. Good ride, but can’t stack up against pretty much any thrill ride at BGT or Florida. The reason why it gets long lines is that kids like to ride it.

[@Ceseals8097]

Do you think people who are scared of rollercoasters will like it?

[@southeastcoasters]

@@Ceseals8097 I think so. It’s pretty tame except for the airtime hill after the third launch. It’s like a family coaster

[@kaijohnson5033]

BGT is such a great park. Rarely do you have such a great lineup with so much depth in such a beautiful park. Always love going there.

[@memesofthepast7322]

I love seeing Sita in your vid. (Giraffe in the beginning) She has an exclamation on her chest such a sweet giraffe

[@heaven4hockeycards]

This is the park to visit if you are fan of coasters in Florida.

[@projectraven6000]

I live in the tampa area and pretty much go to Busch Gardens at least 2 times a month... Mantu and Sheikra still scare me

@@scientisto7803omg that’s awesome! I’m from Orlando and it’s my family’s favorite theme park ever!

[@sizzlechest1110]

This park gets a giga n its curtains as itll be the best all around coaster park in america, every ride runs flawlessly and the park is so well maintained. The lineup is origional and second to none

[@GiraffeInATree1]

I’m pretty sure jungala is getting replaced with a launched giga

[@sethschiller832]

Both iron gwazi and velocicoaster are fierce and kick butt

[@876portturbo]

SV over IG but man they are both amazing, I agree about Kumba, just a gorgeous coaster!

[@Thrill_King]

Exactly

[@LTstinkysocksMcGee420]

How? The 2nd half is cheap airtime.

[@tonyn4589]

Steel vengeance second half extension to make the ride longer has a staple affect on your legs just to throw you up and before you can even Enjoy the air time you’re slammed back down… just doesn’t have that enjoyable moment it’s just added to make the ride longer my opinion. my opinion also, it’s not even the best ride at that park. Maverick is.

[@tonyn4589]

I love that gameslikeOgrolls, cheap airtime. Using it with your permission. Fyi love sharing opinions bc we all have them and I respect everyone

[@Alexander2383]

I still remember riding the Montu and Kumba when I was 10 year. My top 5 favorites!!

[@VECTOR_Coasters]

igwaz > veloci for thrills and veloci > igwaz for experience

[@ferreira92lucas]

agree

[@strykerfpv]

im biased bc im a big launch fan and intamin blitzes are my fav coasters but i still agree. igwaz is def much more intense, but overall i think velocicoaster is the better experience, even if you didnt consider the queue

[@MrWordcat]

Kumba is one of my favorite coasters in the country. IDK WHY I love Cheetah Hunt so much! But the wait is way too long.

[@Jasm1n_1]

I only had to wait 15 minutes

[@MrWordcat]

@@Jasm1n_1 you, my friend, are luckyyyyyy! What time and what day did you go? I'm still trying to learn that hack lol

[@anthony7569]

Stop going on weeknds and holidays..I actually went this past Sunday and the wait was short

[@MrWordcat]

@anthony7569 Anthony, I usually go on like Wednesdays or Thursdays lol. And NEVER on holidays. I'm glad your wait time was so good! Hey sometimes you just get lucky! 😁

[@darrylellis4809]

VC and IG are completely different coasters that’s a really odd comparison. They are both good in their own rights.

[@strykerfpv]

exactly. ig is muchhhh more thrilling, but vc is much better themed, and its a multi launch. its just not a good comp

[@kylersoul]

Montu is my favorite but Sheikra does get you very excited no matter how many times you ride it. Great memories!

[@maddie_nevaeh]

in April i rode Montu which was my first rollercoaster and it was great 😂

[@bunobeatz5737]

Busch gardens packs a serious punch in is coaster line up.

[@HondaTurboToys]

Seaworld Orlando isn't looking too bad lately either. Headed there next weekend to find out, but BGT is where I call home. 🎢

[@sunflower_gabby]

My top three are Cheetah Hunt, Montu and Iron Gwazi!!

[@corbinw10]

I just got back from there a couple days ago and it was fun

[@pandastrix4082]

Kumba is without out a doubt one of if not the worst rollercoaster I’ve ever been on, the head banging is next level on this one. Coming from a Florida native Busch gardens pass holder

[@HondaTurboToys]

Push your head back into the headrest 🙌 I usually only ride it once or twice and later in the day when I'm about done 😂

[@neonthefox3550]

Kumba should get renovated like they did with Loch Ness Monster. Not only will it make it smoother but also make it last for many more years to come

[@kgc65player]

Veteran Kumba rider here...if you want smooth front car. If you really want to experience Kumba at its best right back seat..that's it...😉🤘

[@jessiemessyy]

i went iron gwazi for the first time last month and that day was my first time ever riding actual coasters and gwazi was very intense but still enjoyable! i’ve heard it’s more intense than vc as far as the elements its has so i think i’ll enjoy vc more as a new coaster fam but time will tell!!

[@HorrorHandler]

I think iron gwazi it just has a lot it’s just one after another.

[@yusufhofri3328]

Back row iron gwazi at night had me feeling like it was end for me the whole ride

[@danielward4868]

I went in 2019 and montu Is my favourite coaster ever!

[@HondaTurboToys]

Gotta get back to try Iron Gwazi 🙌🎢

[@brandonohara4122]

Perfecf list! Agree with all!

[@ashlyndiaz2800]

I may be going to iron gwazi I’ve been on velisicoaster and I completely loved it !!!❤

[@TheDarinw40]

Gwazi is SO awesome..did not stay in my seat the whole ride..we have annual passes to busch..this yr we are going Universal...will.let you know which is better..but love the lineup at busch...montu,Tigress,kumba,sheikra,cheetah hunt is probably the best lineup in the nation next to cedar pointe

[@TheDarinw40]

Marathon Gwazi?..its iron gwazi😂

[@MSN539]

Which was better veliocosster or ghazi

[@danielsanders5906]

Everything at Busch Gardens is beautiful. You can go there all year for the price of one ticket. Where everything in Orlando is over priced. Busch Gardens is best theme park in Florida!

[@HondaTurboToys]

Great perks and rewards for their pass members too 👌🏻

[@CRA78]

Cheetah Hunt is so easily their best, but Busch Gardens is always awesome and all the rides are dope.

[@HondaTurboToys]

People get coaster crazy and forget about our S&S Screamin Swing, Serengeti Flyer 🫶 always ride it at least twice 😂

[@CRA78]

@@HondaTurboToys I was so nervous going on Serengeti Flyer for the first time lol. Then literally as soon as it boosted off all the nerves left and I knew instantly it would be awesome.

[@CarterNelson-lf6ps]

You must have never been on the Iron Gwazi

[@carolemarinucci1610]

I am glad he's definitely better. I live in Florida and I am why his crazy. Those fly rides are one of my favorites especially Coumba

[@coasterBoss]

Steve is the best

[@deannawalters7786]

Velocicoaster and Iron Gwazi are two very different rides. Iron gwazi is by far the best RMC I have rode but Velocicoaster is an amazing launch coaster with speed and inversions. All around for theming and ride experience Velocicoaster. Gwazi though is my favorite RMC. I would avoid Cheetah Hunt, its a kid coaster compared to the rest it doesnt even have speed. The serangeti swings go faster than cheetah hunt. A flat ride is faster than that coaster 😂.

[@HondaTurboToys]

Cheetah Hunt isn't the biggest thriller in the park but it's still damn good fun.

[@troyoft9712]

Idk what it is but I’ve ridden SV and IG dozens of times I don’t get the same level of excitement from IG. In fact I really don’t think it’s close either :)

[@jdkisdabest_yt751]

I say velocicoaster takes it for me but i live 5 mins from Busch gardens and I’ll ride iron gwazee every single time

[@OklahomaCoasterFan]

Iron Gwazi over Velocicoaster. Ride elements are a clear win for IG, but the theming of Velocicoaster makes it close.

[@juiciestlemonadeofyoutube]

Iron Gwazi and Montu are the coldest, toughest rides at the park. Literal best day of my life here.

[@mattiax360]

Iron gwazy is way intense and crazy of velocicoaster, i will even talk about falcon fury incredible drop tower

[@shawtynisha9160]

I was there in 2015 and I never tried it I wish I did, but this time now I'm older we will do all, it was only the Shikera I rode it was so GOOOOOODDDDDD but very high

[@yk.dezire]

I’ve ridden iron gwazi, now all thats left to do is ride velocicoaster

[@putnam568]

Love velocicoaster

[@UNIDiver]

I am going to BG in a few months. I really liked Velociraptor when I rode it last year. It was fast, smooth and fun. It also didn't make me feel like blacking out like The Hulk made me feel. If I wasn't a fan of Hulk, should I pass on IG?

[@iloveappleyoutube7198]

I just subscribed, nice video man

[@jeremyhealy3169]

Busch gardens Tampa has the best overall coasters if you combine theme, landscape, intensity and thrills!

[@SXJ921]

#2 is just like the superman ride at 6 flags!

[@LTstinkysocksMcGee420]

Cheetah hunts track is everywhere

[@joshisanL]

Iron gwazi and Velocicoaster are two completely different rides. When you're going on gwazi, you know you're gonna get that ejector airtime and first drop. When you're going on velocicoaster, you know you're gonna get beautiful scenery, fast launches, and quick snappy inversions. It just depends on your preference, but i personally prefer velocicoaster.

[@jonneym]

Cheetah chase is the most uncomfortable big rollercoaster I have ever sat in. He shoulder brace is a bad design for anyone over 5’10 the brace cuts into your shoulders and is made worse during the ride when the “g” forces it down harder. I will always go on the ride when I visit but only once because of this reason

[@Wonzsgne]

ive rode every roller coaster except the baby rides ofc but im trying to ride falcons fury sometime but its a 335 ft drop

[@jacos.870]

Iron Gwazi is easily top 3 in the US.

[@Frog_Cookie]

I’VE BEEN TO EVERY COASTER HE ANNOUNCED!

[@christainwright9067]

hopefully i go soon

[@johnleatherwood2591]

Velocicoaster, But 10 iron gwazi rides in 2 hours off season? Unbeatable. U

[@CarterNelson-lf6ps]

Velocicoaster is a better ride, but Iron Gwazi is a better roller coaster

[@TheMadProfessor.1]

Velocicoaster is a better experience with the theatrics of the que and the overall theming, Gwazi is a better coaster. Both are great, but every trip to Florida, I must hit BGT for Iron Gwazi, especially at night!

[@summerloveleigh]

Montu is still a fave of mine.

[@lincs1881]

I’ve ridden both more times than most people will in their life times I’ve ridden velocicoaster over 30 times and I’ve not been going to the park for two years and I missed the first year it was open velocicoaster is by far the best. And I know I get hate from those RMC steel vengeance simps but I’ve ridden both and volocicoastwr is the best roller coaster in the entire world

[@rebekahpait]

When I went to bush gardens I said “hey dad can we go on Shekra?” And he said yes so we were in the line and these people that were on the VERY VERY top before the drop they go stuck up there for 30 minutes and the ride was closed and 4 RIDES WERE CLOSED THERE!!!

[@yuric2492]

IG makes velocicoaster look like a kiddie coaster

[@brandonmcgillis]

Kumba was terrible , my head hurt soo bad. The only worse Florida coaster I rode this past week was the hulk and i rode it 10 years ago and it was smooth as butter.

[@Furr1968]

Lochness Monster is getting a revamp for 2024.. Can't wait!

[@michelewelsh2273]

Has anyone ridden wildcats revenge in Hershey and iron gwazi? If so which do you think is better. I’ve ridden both and it’s close but I’m gonna say Gwazi.

[@gabyfotooo]

kumba has a little to no wait but you will feel sick on it or just uncomfortable so be careful

[@joshisanL]

Thrills: BGT Experience: Universal Family and theming: Disney

[@manuelhernansalgadoparra6213]

El mejor parque de florida...

[@FishRfun]

I live in tampa. I think cheetah hunt is way overrated, kumba is underrated, a friend of mine helped build Montu and its still on of the best, but i got in to a horrible car accident in 2019, not my fault, but after a 1.6 million dollar 8 hour back surgery and lots of inpatient physical therepy later, my neurosurgeon said he'd kill me himself if i ever got on a coaster again in my life. I already have to be very careful for the rest of my life just doing normal things. So ill never get to experience Iron Gwazi. It doesn't look very good anyway, so i doubt I'm missing much....lol. yeah, right! Im FURIOUS i cant ride it!!

[@HondaTurboToys]

IG will try to hurt a well person. My one word I used to describe it when asked after my first ride was "violent". Wishing you the best on your road to recovery 🫶

[@nolienat9904]

[@kblank6995]

velocicoaster is hands down the better one

[@tonyn4589]

Iron Gwazi! I have about 333 coaster credits, and Iron Gwazi is my number one. And I’ve road Fury 325. I’ve rode steel vengeance I’ve rode millennium force I’ve rode intimidator 305, I wrote a lot. I also love your video, because Busch Gardens Tampa is my home park and you nailed everything. It was hard to beat Montu then came Iron Gwazi. I love the way you say I don’t know why I love cheetah hunt that much I just do. It’s awesome. Why is it awesome many little reasons that add up to a lot. Sheikra… been on six dive coasters, Sheikra is number one.

[@kingjb404]

Iron Gwazi 👑

[@logansplayroom4765]

[@Metalhead_Coaster_Fan]

I don't consider Cheetah Hunt a blitz cause it doesn't have a similar layout to Maverick or iSpeed.

i love rollercoasters but some reason i can’t do wooden coasters because it always looks like i’m gonna get decapitated, so i never enjoy the ride because i’m always ducking 😭

I was born and raised in Tampa and had an annual pass from birth to 2008.
