Hot day, but we did have fun. A combination of rides and zoo, which is a nice balance to keep kids interested.

To start off, the cheetah hunt roller coaster was the best coaster I’ve ever been on but the wait times are incredibly inaccurate. Many lines come to a complete stand still because of how many people use the quick queue which makes it impossible for anyone else to ride. Almost every single ride we waited in line for broke down, over the span of 4 and a half hours we got to ride the one ride, which was still amazing of course. Unless you want to spend extra money for the quick queue then it is not at all worth it.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your most recent visit to Busch Gardens Tampa. We are happy to read you enjoyed Cheetah Hunt! Our Quick Queue product is limited to ensure that both the value of the product is protected and to lessen the impact on the wait time of the regular queue line. We apologize your visit was affected by our attraction wait times. Additionally, despite annual maintenance and daily operating inspections, our rides can experience technical difficulties, just as any other mechanical device. We employ our own onsite maintenance team, and in most cases are able to open the attraction again quickly. We have forwarded your feedback to our leadership team for further internal review. -MK

I went with my parents and 4 other siblings to Busch Gardens for the day. We were all super excited but unfortunately let down. The start to the day was great, we all rode one of the best rides ever and everyone enjoyed it. The line was not super long and we all were excited to ride the rest of the park. Unfortunately, our fun stopped there. After the first ride, we tried two other rides but one was closed for maintenance issues and the other was a crazy slow line. After trying these two we left to go eat lunch and when we came back, we went to a water log ride that was eventually closed for maintenance when we got halfway through the line. So we rode another coaster with a short line and it was amazing. That was our last ride and we were there for 5 hours to have 5 minutes of fun. It was blistering hot as well, the temp was around 95-100 degrees. I think something to change is the fast passes. Because of the people who bought these passes, the other peoples line was at a standstill for the majority of the waiting. Overall I would not say this is one of the best theme parks. My family and I were extremely disappointed.

This product is limited to ensure that both the value of the product is protected and to lessen the impact on the wait time of the regular queue line. We certainly do apologize that you were unable to enjoy the park as you had planned during this visit. We have forwarded your feedback about our ride queuing to our leadership team for further internal review. - MK
