I would like to agree with many on the review that talked about the park being crowded, Over-priced and no longer fun driven or focused! instead, it provided you the feeling/experience of business-driven and money-making focused in many aspects. you can see that from the late park opening hours (10:00 am! all most noon time), High car parking fees! low food quality, limited food selections, add to that overpriced. $4 for regular cup fountain soda!!! $14 for two pieces of bread and dried tasteless burger with no tomatoes, lettuce, onion!!!! thank you Dragon Fire Grill. the so the management asks families to not bring lunch but you don't provide them with reasonable options! the Skyride started at 3:00 pm! although the weather was perfect! all-day 77F no run. notice other rides were out of service too. people spent mover that 25% of their fun time standing in a long line to ride, food line, parking their car, even for the restroom (women restroom in particular). I believe management for sure can address these concerns at some point to keep the visitor interested to visit or come back!

Very disappointed with Busch gardens. I went here as a kid from the UK and remembered it fondly. The park is dated and difficult to navigate even with a map. The rollercoasters are fairly decent for a theme park but the animal pens are pretty awful. 10% of them are good 90% of them are awful. Paid extra for the quick queue which was worth it on 3/7 rides that where working. I’d save your money and go Disney or universal as the trip really wasn’t worth it.

I went to Busch to enjoy a day of riding roller coasters. Bought the quick queue pass so I could skip to the front of the lines. This really helped on Cheetah Hunt which is definitely the best ride that was open. I rode it 5 times. That is a good long roller coaster with nice features. Sheikra was closed for the whole day, so I can't review that one. The other coasters in the park were ok. Nothing spectacular, but they were solid. I will avoid Cobra Curse in the future since I don't do too well on rides that go backwards, it was also kind of slow. Falcon Fury is a good quick thrill ride. If there were no animal habitats then Busch Gardens would not be worth the price of admission. Take the train around the Serengeti to see the free roaming rhinos, giraffes, wildebeest, and gazelle. the gators and tortoise are gigantic, but they don't move too much, but still cool to see. My favorite animals to see were the elephants and hippo. The elephant keeper was out feeding and playing with the elephants. It was fun to see them play with the huge blocks in the habitat. I was also luck to see the hippo getting fed treats by the zookeeper. After eating she was swimming around and playing with logs in the pool. Lots of fun to watch. If you just want roller coasters then you may be disappointed by this park, but it's fun to see the animals. Good place to take the family.
