Don’t make these ride mistakes!  

irl iron gwazis drop looks ten times higher than what it looks like on camera

Man really recommended the two rides with the most wait time in the whole park😂

The drop is so scary on iron gwazi because you only have one handle to hold to 😂

Would definitely recommend cheetah hunt, gwazi, or cobras curse. They consistently have insanely high wait times and are all super fun rides. Only downside to rope dropping cobras is you might miss the cool exposition video, but that video hasn't been running lately anyway.

Born and raised in Tampa Florida, been coming to Busch Gardens my entire life. I love roller coasters! But I'll never ride Iron Gwazi again, I thought I was gonna die 🤣

Riding Gwazi is like getting a free chiropractic neck adjustment

Hi! Platinum pass holder here. Cheetah hunt should be the one you rope drop most of the time, it’s the most popular at the park. Iron Gwazi runs better and faster during the day when it warms up so I wouldn’t do it first thing. Sheikra is one I would suggest trying as a rope drop at least once, when you hang over the edge you get that feeling of ‘oh… I’m actually on a roller coaster!’

76 when it's playing nice, much faster when it wakes up 😂

I think doing Gwazi, cheetah, the cobras curse is the move

dont be scared guys, all the rides there look scary but it really isnt that bad, the only one that was bad was tigris because it hurts ur hip personally for me because it goes up then backwards and hangs side ways for around 5-7 seconds and i dont reccomend going on cheetah hunt because its only a huge line which can always lead up to an hour and iron gwazi isnt that bad they make it seem scary which it really isnt

Gwazi is scary, my friend didn’t tell me and I chose it to be my first coaster after not riding coaster for a while

If you rope drop sheikra or kumba, you're likely to be one of the only ones on it since everyone goes for the rides in the front

Shout out to gwazi, I remembered when it was all wood

Yeah, Cheetah Hunt's line is the hardest to wait through, it's very slow. Ahh, the love for my home park makes my heart happy ❤️

Native tampa Floridian here My dad installed the elevators on sheekra(idk how to spell it)

That run 😂

Surprised you didnt cover how amazing the animal exhibits were back in the 90s when Jack Hannah was based there. I remember watching old VHS tapes about the nursery there.

I'm so old last time I was at Busch Gardens Gwazi was made of wood!!!!😂

Iron gwazi is insaneeee Tigris sucks to me honestly Best rides in busch gardens are cheetah hunt and iron gwazi

Went here yesterday and atleast from my experience the order to do it at rope drop would be: Cheetah Hunt (always do cheetah hunt as it’s instantly long line), cobras curse (cause it’s right next to cheetah hunt and also gets longer but if timed right is basically walk on), iron gwazi (held a pretty reasonable line throughout the early part of the day and is so worth a wait if it gets one (unlike cobras curse or cheetah at 90 minutes))

Cheetah Hunt runs much better in the evening. That Windcatcher Tower trench drop has massive airtime then

Cheetah hunt was my 2 fav, my fav was sheikra!

Iron Gwazi looks mad crazy... wow..

sheikra is like never a 5 minute wait lol

I always grey out when I ride gwazi early

I’ve bin a lot. Chesshunt is my favorite

CHEETAH HUNT IS MY FAV‼️‼️

Don't ride Iron Gwazi as your first coaster after a long hiatus of riding coasters! I thought I was gonna die! 😂 Great coaster though!

Holy crap iron gwazi’s drop looks amazing

Iron Gwazi is way too thrilling for me. Love watching it run though

Heres my rating of rides i rode there: 5: Tigris. This one’s really popular but the reason why it’s on the bottom of my list is because it’s quite painful. That first bank really squeezes my legs and the entire ride i was just kinda waiting to get off 4. Kumba. Kind of the same story as Tigris except it was an actual rollercoaster. It still bashed my head against the sides a lot, but it’s the oldest operating ride in the park, so it’s excusable. 3. SheiKra. Really fun ride, the drop is awesome and it’s quite fast paced. 2. Iron Gwazi. This one’s really, REALLY close, but Iron Gwazi is also amazing. Smoothest coaster in the park, FASTEST coaster in the park, what’s not to love? Sadly I found one more coaster better by just a small bit… 1. Montu. I LOVE this coaster. It’s unexplainable, but you have to see it to believe it. It’s quite fast and it has lots of upside down segments, making it the scariest in my opinion. It’s the only inverted coaster in the park, which gives it some bonus points. God, you don’t know how close this is to number 2, because I love gwazi too :( Sadly I couldn’t ride Cheetah Hunt, Cobra’s Curse, and the new droptower Falcon’s Fury because we had some setbacks. But, there’s one coaster that beats them all… 0. Fuggin AIR GROVER!!!! Just kidding. In all honesty, best theme park I’ve ever been to and I hope to come back some day!!

My recommendation is to go on a weekday during non peak season if you can. I went on a Tuesday in September and every ride was a walk on. I went on Iron Gwazi three times in a row and didn't even have to leave my seat!

Dude spitting facts. Also, Gwazi's drop ain't vertical, it's beyond vertical 😎

I remember getting on those..and I’m going on them again next week😢prey for me😂😂

If you choose to not go to Cheetah Hunt first during immediate rope drop, don’t try to queue for it until mid-afternoon, as Cheetah Hunt gets the longest queues in the morning

i recommend that one water log ride! i forgot what it’s called, but the line is always SOOO long.

Iron Gwazi is slow in the morning. Ride later in the day

My grandpa and uncle helped build cheetah hunt. I always thought that was pretty cool.

It actually kind of depends on the days. Sundays the lines are shorter than on other days and most rides have long lines but if cheetah hunt has both trains open and shieKra also has both trains open then it will go a bit faster. Kumba is rough and not my personal favorite but has a short line and Montu is really nice but it also depends on the days bc sometimes the lines are short but other days it is really long.

I went to busch gardens recently, rode montu which I think montu is really fun for an older rollercoaster, and also went on cobras curse, which is really fun its unique from the upside down and elevating parts, but cheetas hunt is the best. in my opinion its 9/10

That guardians Fanny pack tho. Haha love it

Love Cheetah Hunt, but its restraints tend to break blood vessels on the top of my shoulders.

I Iron Gwazi is actually a 95° job, making it beyond vertical

Iron qwazis first drop never looks big on camera but it is sooo huge irl

I live I Tampa right near Busch gardens, I go there a lot, I’ve pretty much went on most of them, but seriously I haven’t been on sheekra,but my mom has tho

I'm going to Tampa in June, and we'll possibly go here and I really wanna ride cobras curse and cheetah hunt

Luckily when I’m going I have quick queue

Cheetah Hunt or Cobra are the best starting coasters, gets you warmed up for more coasters and aren’t to intense, so if you decide you don’t want to ride anymore it’s no problem

very helpful for when i eventually go

my routine at BGW is, Cheetah Hunt, Cobras Curse, Montu, Kumba, Tigris, SheiKra, and finally Iron Gwazi (and repeat Cheetah Hunt, Montu, and Iron Gwazi towards end of the day)

This is the first time my heart sank from a video of a drop of a rollercoaster, that Lion Guazi is insane

The best one is at bush gardens at Wellingburg is the Apollo charit it’s a purple one it’s 210 feet in the air

Just so you know sheikra Is very dependent on how busy it is if it's like medium crowds it's usually short wait time. But when it's busy sheikra gets insane lines especially when it's gonna close for fire works

Iron gwazi is my fav

I don't recommend rope dropping Iron Gwazi; unless you wanna ride a coaster that isn't running at its best (warmed up)

i always go under the 1st one to get soaked it’s so fun

Currently on my way to Busch, I bought the fast pass ultimate or whatever and I’ve heard it shortens almost all ride times down to like 10 minutes

I was just there yesterday and January is a perfect month because that’s when the crowded I believe are the lowest on a Sunday especially and I also hate Tigris now it literally pushes you down during the ride. But Iron Gwazi nigh rides are percent

I was there today Iron gwazi was my favorite

Dude I heard him describe cheetah and j was like WOAHH. Cus that’s actually such an amazing concept

Cheetah Hunt is perfect rope drop, you can go straight to Montu, Cobra’s Curse, Kumba and Falcon’s Fury from there, then slowly make your way around the park. If it’s not a busy summer day, you can get almost everything besides Gwazi done by 12-1PM!

Bro SheiKra was a 2 hour wait for me 💀

I walked right onto Shreikra and I was peeing myself the 30 seconds before I got on the ride.

Don't give everyone our enthusiast secret sauce😂

Tigris is one of the slowest loading rides bc theres only a single train.

I wouldn’t go gwazi because it crawls through it’s layout in the morning

Iron grazing has a beyond vertical drop at 91 degrees. I know it sounds stupid, but I’ve heard that you can feel that extra 1 degree. I’ve never rode it though, so that’s just what I heard.

I dont reccomend iron gwazi for rope drop instead near closing

We were there yesterday but we sadly never got to get on iron gwazi bc it got rained out

I went on iron gwazi it was so scary that drop and it turns you all types of ways i thought i was going to die😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I would also recommend montu it’s a very fun ride and you don’t feel any drops the flips are very nice 💯 recommend

Tampa Busch Gardens has to easily be one of the world’s best theme parks, no way it’s not. Hold so much records, Almost every ride is smooth and huge and is just an awesome place

Gwazi will be running slow at park opening.

just went today, always go on sundays, people are either at church, or have work tm

Ironic- cuz I was just chillin here yesterday

OK START SHEIKRA IS AMAZING! ALSO WOULD DEFINITELY RIDE THE SRENGETI FLIER!

quick queue...just saying, pay to play is best. Cheetah hunt is my Fav because of the length of the ride and great trip into the scenary of the park.

This is actually where my Busch gardens is

Personally I love Montu but it’s all about what you are into.

I have yet to ride cheetah hunt. Every time I get on it the ride breaks lol. I'm not convinced it's a faulty ride, but I am convinced it is just my luck

LMFAOOO “5 minute wait”

What a nice rainbow

I've only been twice but I jetted to Montu both times and it worked out

Sheikra is like Griffon which I love

I tried rope dropping cheetah hunt and it took more time because it is right at the entrance

that one person (me): screw it! i love rides no matter what!

Yeah I was on Tigris and it was over in a blink

I went to bush garden and went on the irl iron gazing it was so freaking fun and scary 😅

Ivthink cheeta and tigris are the best cuz i got to go on cobras curse for a 5 minute wait but tigris is always an hour

Bro, who in the right mindset would rope drop a B&M? Literally the best capacity machines in most parks and won't have any significant line for at least an hour after the park opens.

As someone who has been to bush gardens over 50 times I can confirm that sheikra is one of the first rides I go on every time and the most fun, argueably one of the most popular rides after cheetah hunt and falcons fury, usually a 25-30min wait, and Tigris I’ve seen 5minutes to 55min waits. Bro really just wants to clear up the lines for his fav rides he lying his ass off Pinocchio 🤥

I rode iron gwazi first when I got there and it was jarring to say the least

When I went to bush gardens at 2021 the cheetah hunt was closed cuz it was being fixed

I only did cheetah hunt scorpion and sand serpent

Cheeta hunt gives me memories and then I almost fainted when I was very little I was telling my d a d I can’t but he didn’t listen

It 45 mins right now lol

i went on both!!! IRON GWAZI IS TERRIFYING

When I went to bush gardens shiekra had a 30 minute fast lane queue time and broke down 2 times💀

Sheikra is just as scary as Iron Gwazze
