Today i went to Busch Gardens, in my opinion the best theme park in Florida. I also booked the thrill seeker tour.
Gwazi, its only 7 years old, its got a good layout but the roughness is bad.
The ride even sounds rough.
The entrance is the only nice thing.
The gators looked a bit bigger than those baby ones.
The area for the animals was about 6 acres i think.
Montu was the second coaster, the queue was only 5 minutes, but as we were on the tour we got to skip it.
The station is well themed.
They were only running two trains out of three, and there was still no queue.
Start of the ride.
The area is themed to Egypt, its funny how they get the heat machines to create the heat effect of Egypt.
It feels and looks like Egypt.
Real and eco friendly steam trains.
Sheikra, what a ride. Ill come to that later.
The train hols alot, but is always full.
Montu is the distance.
Sheikra, its an amazing ride. I rode it three times and each was better than the first. The height, speed and when you are held over the drop. Front seat can see all the track down.
The elephants have a large enclosure to walk around or swim.
The rhino ralley was good, with a hidden suprise.
Just a wild mouse, they are all the same.
Kumba was probably the most intense ride of the day.
The new area Congo, we were told that it is enclosures for tigers, and animals like that.
Here it is.
Its a large area.
You can't make out what is what though.
The log flume, you don't even get wet.
Sheikra is just utter amazing.
The wait was the longest in the park, but i never had to queue and got on it three times.
Queue for the dry log flume.
Sheikra's entrance.
Tidal wave soaked the riders, and the spectators.
The rapids, they are bad! If you have been on them you will knoe what i mean.
Water jets soak you, while your looking at the water to see what will soak you, you miss the incoming water.
Never seen this shot before.
This was only running two trains and if i did queue noramlly, it wouldn't be long.
Kumba is forcefull and long.
You really do see how bad some uk parks are.
I got some video of myself on Sheikra.
They had to put an extra two trains on as the queue was bad. But there was still two others in transfer.
Bad queue.
If you go to Florida, no matter what. Come to Busch Gardens.
This ride is amazing, its better than most other rides i've been on.
Kumba from the train.
The full train.
Queue for scorpion.
Scorpions loop, does anyone know where the other train is ?
These turtles were massive! Im not even zooming in with the camara.
Its about the size of a table.
Montu's station.
.
No queue.
Scorpions one train made the queue 20 minutes.
Its was good though, going through a loop with a lapbar.
It seemed so long.
Loop
Going down.
