More coasters doesn't make a park great. Look a CA wonderland with so many coasters but just a few good ones. Thats sfmm. Yes almost 20 coasters but how many are actually good? Busch gardens has higher quality rides and not a bad coaster. Busch gardens wins every time but this homer can't say that any park is better then sfmm. What's there newest coaster? Premier west coast racers compared to Busch gardens iron gwazi. Not even close. Busch gardens actually spends money on there rides and builds quality while six flags buys cheap, cookie cutter bottom of the coasters. No comparison. Quality of quantity. I love visiting both parks but I'm looking forward to going to Busch gardens Tampa way more then sfmm.
You can say the same thing about bgt. A few good coasters and then a bunch of fillers. By the way, sfmm will get another new coaster (Jersey devil clone).
@@davedoesthingsdreaded X2 is the only of its kind in the US, Tatsu is the best flier in the world, Riddlers is the best standup in the world. Full Throttle offers some of the most hangtime in the world, Twisted Colossus is an elite coaster. WCR is a unique multi launch. The weaker coasters such as Batman and Scream are standout coasters at other parks.
BGT is an entire level up in overall quality and experience compared to any Six Flags parks, including their crown jewel SFMM. Yes, SFMM has a lot more coasters and overall a very good lineup. But you're comparing the best SF has to offer to a park that is just part of the Sea World chain. BGW is equally as good as BGT. Sea World parks are much better quality parks over SF and Cedar Fair parks. Only Disney and Universal parks are above Sea World Parks. SDC and Dollywood similar level as a Busch Gardens park. I like all of these and they have something for everyone.
I might be biased since BGT is my home park, but I think BGT is way superior to SFMM. The atmosphere, coaster quality, theming, animals, and food are (imo) superior to Magic Mountain. Magic Mountain has quantity and some stand out coasters but that’s it.
Dedrick how many times have you been to magic mountain ? Because that’s my home park and it is far superior in my opinion even though I have never been to BGT
Morgan Stowell As I said, I have a noticeable bias. But I’m just pointing out some aspects of Busch Gardens I felt went somewhat under appreciated in the video. But you do have a point that I shouldn’t be making some statements like “BGT is way superior to SFMM”
Busch garden may have good quality with their coasters, but magic mountain has equal or greater quality, and significantly higher quality. Though the animals, theming, and food does keep tampa in the running.
Without Watching I would say Busch Gardens, SFMM really only wins in coasters going coaster by coaster also only helps Busch Gardens outside of the sheer numbers MM has that was real close and prob accurate to the real game
I think sfmm has the edge for coasters, but if we consider the overall park, Busch gardens looks better. PS: I haven’t been on either one so I can’t say much
@@AirtimeThrills So, BGTB and SWO have really stepped up their F&B game in the past couple of years at festival time. On par with Disney in most ways, and better value.
I haven't been to SFMM yet but BGT is my all time favorite park. Their coaster lineup is great, especially when Iron Gwazi opens, and the animals never get old. The park theming & atmosphere is top notch and the food is pretty good. Throw in the fact that you can a ticket for 14 days of Seaworld, Aquatica, BGT & a day swimming with dolphins and stingrays at Discovery Cove for $200 & you have a winner.
This was a much more interesting battle then I thought it would be. I personally prefer Busch Gardens Tampa more because of its theming, animal exhibits and the fact that I've just had a better experience there. Although next time s'more appropriate park battle would be Six Flags Magic Mountain against Cedar Point and Busch Gardens Tampa versus Busch Gardens Williamsburg. But I have to disagree with Kumba being better than The Riddler's Revenge. It's a close call but The Riddler's Revenge has no roughness to it at all and the experience of standing up is much more exciting. Also, what's wrong with Scream? Besides that it was built over a parking lot, I can't think of anything wrong with it.
I actually was a little surprised how close this ended up. You are comparing Six Flags Halo park against one of the two Busch Gardens. BGT held up well in this battle.
As a basketball fan and coaster enthusiast, I really enjoyed this! And I appreciate the bit of research you did for the end as a casual or non-NBA fan. Fun video!
@@AirtimeThrills Knott’s would probably be the Clippers tbh. Solid in their own right, but Magic Mountain, like the Lakers, is an iconic, historic tour de force in the theme park world.
X2 and Sheikra have so much in common omg! Almost vertical drops, 200+ feet, red, wing seating, sheikra has a splashdown and x2 has a broken fire effect
When I went to Busch Gardens Tampa back in Febuary, I was shocked. I knew it was a zoo/amusement park hybrid, but I didn't realise they had animals walking around all over the place. As someone who the nearest "local" analogue would be Granby Zoo or Park Safari, it was certainly a surprise.
I was wondering how you were gonna do this video, but you executed it really well. Also they should swap the trains around on scream and riddlers #screamistrash
Haven't been to a park outside of so cal yet. Can't wait to hit Florida in a couple years. Plus, the last time I was at Magic Mountain, Jet Stream was still there. I wanna say mid 2000's. Yikes.
Thanks for the video. I am from Chicago and planned a trip to Orlando in November. I was trying to choose, for one of the days, between parks I know and love (Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure) or SeaWorld. I chose Universal. I will be in Busch Gardens Tampa for the first time in 32 years.
i depends what you want to go for BGT has theme and good coasters but magic has not as much theme and has any coaster you like instead of a real spinning coaster not 4D
This was a fun video! Bgt is my home park i actually build stuff for it kind of regularly so kind of disappointed to see it loose. But would of also loved to see the same video for the stanley cup since tampa just won against dallas
BGT is one of the most underrated parks ever. you cant go to Florida without going to Busch gardens. Magic Mountain got the fair win even though Busch gardens is my home park.
I like the fun concept of comparing parks in major sports match-ups, I loved the one you made for the 49ers vs. the Chiefs before the super bowl, I only wish Worlds of Fun (my home park) had something new to offer besides just revamping all of its flat rides.
Park appearance definitely goes to Busch Gardens. You really get immersed into the African theme there. Magic Mountain wins with their coaster lineup and the few flat rides they have. I did notice Busch Gardens had virtually no flat rides when I went. To me, Busch Gardens wins the RMC battle with Iron Gwazi. Twisted Colossus is great when it’s dueling, but it almost never duels anymore. Iron Gwazi has the height, speed, and insane elements that push it over the top for me. Park food definitely goes to Busch Gardens for me as well. They have more variety and better quality.
