Ok
hell yeah ur advetising it
Let's Gooooooooo
“Besides Falcon’s Fury, the only large-scale flat rides at BGT are the two water rides.”
*sad serengeti flyer noises*
ik that could've probably got like the non-roller coaster ride point if he mentioned that
@@haydenwesa3743Nah, BGW still has more flat rides in general and BGT doesn’t have an Escape from Pompeii equivalent anymore
Serengeti flyer didn’t exist 2 years ago-
Which alpengeist did you ride? Because the one I ride has a cobra roll that tries to destroy you
Same for me.
There’s…there’s only ONE Alpengeist 😅 What you mean “which?”
@@r.t.c.no.1529 that part of the comment wasn’t literal.
@@ThemeParkAvenue Oh 😂 Ok, because I was like…”HUH?!” 😅
Thats why I insist on calling it alpendaddy
no competition it’s BGT.
U didn't ride iron gwazi, you said tampa has nothing to do there (very hot take), and you called tampa a swamp.... you clearly need to revisit
Exactly, Tampa Bay as a whole has countless beaches. Orlando is more of swamp land lol
“There’s no snappy elements to Alpengeist”
I can still feel my head rattling against the restraints on that corkscrew of death…
I think a better scoring system for coaster comparisons would be to give each coaster a different point value, but both add up to 1. For example, instead of giving BGW 1 for Verbolten and BGT nothing for Cobra's Curse, it would be better to give 0.6 to BGW and 0.4 to BGT.
You could also make the point total higher for the more important coasters; for example, family coasters could be 1, but launched thrill coasters could be 2, so BGW would earn, for example, 1.2 for Pantheon and BGT would get 0.8 for Cheetah Hunt.
It depends whether you want these videos to be a truly objective comparison or to just have a little fun with comparisions and scoring.
fr invader got the same amout of points as iron gwazi
These are two of my absolute favorite parks in the nation, definitely both top 5. I didn’t get on Pantheon or Griffon at BGW but the beauty surpasses BGT and overall it’s nearly a tie. Bias has me choose Tampa but a revisit could change that.
I like your taste here. I don't put them as my top two in the country but I do have them both ranked above every Cedar Fair (yes that includes the two in Ohio) and Six Flags park. I personally put BGW above BGT and I rank Herschend's top two above BGT but they are all in my top 10. I love when a park can really be a well rounded immersive experience that feels like a true escape from the world around you and the Busch Gardens parks do that very well. Plus they all have excellent rides.
As a BGW rep (it's my local park) I have some words about Alpengeist. The whole point of Alpengeist is melt-you-to-your-seat intensity and that's why it's my favorite ride in the park (yes, even more so than Pantheon). I get that inverts are usually about snap but I really like super-intense coasters that don't let up and Alpengeist takes that cake in EVERY regard.
Anyone who say first is cringe ngl☠️
Edit:omg the amount of likes I'm getting is insane thank you
You just said the f word.

YESSIR!!!!!!
All I gotta say is there are so much things to do in Tampa! And it’s much more modern than Williamsburg. In Tampa you can go to armature works it’s like 15 minutes away from BGT. You can go to river walk that’s right next to armature works. There’s the STRAZ center where you can watch plays and lots of shows. There are A TON of places to do eat in Tampa. Also the escape rooms are chefs kiss. There’s the aquarium, also you can go to ice hockey (Lightnings) games or foot ball games (Buccaneers) and not rlly base ball bc that’s a lil further and not rlly in Tampa but not too far (Rays). Williamsburg on the other hand just has a lot of historical places and me personally I don’t thinks that’s too fun. There are fun trails ig but 100% in Tampa there are much more things to do. Maybe not EXACTLY where BGT is but everything fun is like 10 minutes to 30 minutes away from BGT and all in the Tampa area so yeah that should count.
U could also say the same for bgw. Norfolk, Newport news, and Virginia Beach are really close to the park, which are all large cities with many things to do.
I went to Tampa for the first time this summer, and being from NY it was…. Weird. It’s like everything feels so close, but everything’s also so far away somehow. And the roadways are just stupid.
you said EXACTLY what I was thinking
Its also in florida 😐
This paired with the fact there’s NO easy way to travel to BGW compared to how relatively easy it is to fly into Tampa🤷🏼♂️
Love the vids man, keep it up!
all your videos are bangers I can watch them multiple times over and not get bored
Fun video! I feel very lucky that BGW is my home park and only an hour drive. (Although the drive home is usually longer because of pesky HRBT) I've never been to BGT but I'm hoping I can soon.
“There’s no snappy elements on alpengeist”
That one snappy turn into the mid-course on alpengeist 💀💀
Whoa, that's wild. I went to the same two parks at the same time as you! BGT in 2021 and BGW just a few weeks ago! 🤯
Another banger from the most underrated CZcamsr ever 🔥
They're my two favorite theme parks. For a while, I preferred Busch Gardens Williamsburg more, but now I prefer Busch Gardens Tampa because of the animal exhibits, and they have two rides (Cheetah Hunt and Iron Gwazi to be exact) that are better than anything Busch Gardens Williamsburg has. It's still a very close call, though, as Busch Gardens Williamsburg is better with atmosphere and theming, and they still have lots of other great rides like Alpengeist and Griffon, among others. I should also note that I haven't been to Busch Gardens Williamsburg since 2013, so I've got a lot to catch up on after a future visit.
I love both parks and just wanna say that both verbolten and pantheon are probably better than cheetah hunt. I hope you can make it back to bgw
@@ryancole7376 I rode Verbolten. It's definitely not better than Cheetah Hunt as it has quite a few rough spots to it.
i honestly feel so lucky to have bgw as my home park, i love it so much (my home park is technically supposed to be sfa but idc lol, bgw has been considered my second home for over a decade now, it's got a special place in my heart)
Tampa has evolved so much now and we also have Serengeti Flyer and we're getting Phoenix Rising here soon!
I went to BGW around a month ago and got two morning rides on Pantheon and they were really slow. At night though, it is hauling. The difference is day and night (see what I did there).
Technically Kumba did have a counterpart over in BGW.
The thing is... that counterpart was Drachenfire
Was there a counterpart for Apollos chariot ever?
@@Coastoons Not really. The only counterpart coasters were Python/LNM, Kumba/Drachenfire, Sheikra/Gryphon, Cheetah Hunt/Verbolten, and Tigris/Tempesto
You can kind of make the argument for Cobra’s Curse/InvadR and Iron Gwazi/Pantheon, but those connections are moreso related to their role within the park and are more indirectly related
Been going to Williamsburg since 1980 and love it . Would go more often if the 3.5 hour long drive from Maryland wasn't always 4bplus hours long .
Hello coastoons! I love your videos and I haven't been to BGW but I think I would prefere BGT anyway, great video! 😊😊
My favorite one (so far) is BGT…since that’s the only BG I’ve been, but it’s my number one favorite Theme Park as of typing this. 😅
Bro best timing I’m going to Tampa soon let’s go
Personally, BGW has the better atmosphere, during the fall when it gets chilly and all of that it just has more of a better vibe. W video tho
When BGW gets an S&S hyper or an RMC itll be better, but when BGT gets the intamin blitz, it’ll be pretty close again.
BGT has serenghetti flyer now which is finnegans flyer but taller
How is alpengeist NOT snappy, that cobra roll and mcbr transition are far more snappy than anything on montu, get your facts right lmao
True
Not saying Alpengeist isn’t snappy, but saying it’s far more snappy than "anything" on Montu is just incorrect (or you haven’t ridden it?) Montu’s zero g roll is crunchy af and the batwing is just insane. Try a ride in the back!
@@PlanCoCoastersfrom riding last July Montu it definitely has its snap like no doubt but alpies cobra is a different breed of “snap”💀💀💀
Ur right hey don't I know you
yea, montu is insane but the cobra roll in the back of alpy at night left me speechless, it THROWS you
It’s funny how opinions can differ so much lol. I love Alpengeist, though I think Montu is the better ride from what I hear, Alpengeist is still my favorite invert I’ve been on…but I’ve ridden Kumba, and that it was meh, and definitely would take Alpengeist over it. Apollos chariot is also my first hyper I’ve ever ridden, but it doesn’t compare to Nitro, Mako, and Candymonium (the other B&M hypers I’ve ridden). Cheetah Hunt was fun, but Pantheon looks like the better ride. My plan is to hit both these parks in 2024, excited to ride Montu and Pantheon finally.
I only have rode two inverts and I can confidently say Great Bear
2:15 that transition was fire
For me BGW wins easily but I really love the atmosphere and theming at BGW so that plays a roll. I personally prefer Pantheon to Iron Gwazi though Iron Gwazi is obviously a lot more chaotic ride so if that's what you prefer then it'll be your favorite. But even putting that aside I really value a well rounded park experience over just great coasters so I think BGW would win anyway. And setting wise BGT can't compete with BGW.
That said, BGT obviously wins when it comes to animal exhibits. And it is a well themed and good looking park so I'm not knocking it. And the coaster collections are fairly close so it's debatable which is better. And both parks have a lot to do.
Also, Celtic Fyre blows away all of the entertainment at BGT.
YOU PREFER PANTHEON TOO IRON GWAZI? :/
@@ChickenTruck69-dl8ck yep. I think it flows better. With the exception of the first drop on Iron Gwazi, most of its elements are so rapid fire that I find they are harder to really enjoy. I like a better sustained element than one that simply jerks you around. I find the elements on Pantheon to be more sustained and enjoyable than those of Iron Gwazi. That said, the wave turn is spectacular. And I do love Iron Gwazi. It is in my top ten but I still rank Pantheon above it.
Primordial at Lagoon just opened 💀
Bro DEVOURED that funnel cake 💀 and you can tell he was scooping after it was finished 😭😭
Things to do in Tampa Bay when you don’t hermit in your hotel, thinking it’s a swamp based off of an idea you pulled out of your butt.
The Beaches, Historic Ybor City, Clearwater Aquarium, annual 2 week long pirate festival called Gasparilla. Dolphin cruises, Cuban cigar makers in Ybor. Fishing is a religion here.
Honestly Pantheon almost felt the same in the morning as it did later in the day. I loved it both times but I didn’t really feel much improvement throughout the day
I disagree. I feel like it’s one of the coasters that the expirience is the most dependent on what time of day you ride it.
@@dopaminecoasters maybe it didn’t matter as much for me since it was a hot summer day and also the park closed at 7 and that was the last ride I got so I imagine it can feel different on a night ride.
Actually good video idea no way no way
I know it wouldnt have changed the outcome but BGT does have an S&S scream and swing now so theres q little more to do thank just falcons fury for flat rides.
Can u do a video abt lake compunce ct
BGT is my #1 park. Never been to BGW but I’m going next month! So excited!
Alpengiest cobra roll id super snappy
Watched for the comparison, stayed for the food review.
have you been to any theme parks outside the us? if so which is your favorite
You should do a video on the three big six flags parks
I adore cheetah hunt and I'm so glad you enjoy it too
I hate to say it but the atmosphere at BGT is really trashy now. It’s my home park and when I when to BGW I was mind blown by how nice it is compared to BGT. BGT is dirty and ran poorly, like I hate to say it since BGT is my home park but BGW stomps in atmosphere since it has better everything except animals.
Serengeti flyer and Iron gwazi put Tampa ahead alone
I have to respectfully disagree. I've been to both parks many times, and I always have a better time in Tampa. There's not a lot of difference in the coasters, they are all good. Just grading the parks, Tampa is better. There is also a lot to do in Tampa. Busch Gardens is not the only fun in town. There is literally a million ways to have fun in Tampa. Not to mention all the neighboring areas, like Orlando, which is only an hour away.
Busch Gardens Williamsburg is always gonna be my favorite park but I’ll never complain about Busch Gardens Tampa at all.
6:50 Busch gardens tampa has Serengeti flyer and a log flume to?
Bgt has the better ride lineup which i usually value most but bgt is run like crap I went during winter and all the ops were trash, consistent 3+ minute dispatches on gwazi with a 2 hour wait is not fun. I never really had a problem at bgw and in my opinion the atmosphere is a lot cooler there, so I’d give It to bgw.
Nice funnel cake ending
I Love both ❤
I experienced both parks about 15-20 years ago. At that time BG Tampa was clearly better. However, after experiencing BG Tampa very recently, it's not the same park it used to be. It feels cheaper and neglected compared to what it once was. It probably has something to do with the change in ownership from Anheuser Busch to whatever company owns it now. It's no longer the fun beer fest it used to be, and I'm not even a beer drinker but that made a difference!
Tampa has the beaches across the bridge and a lot to offer
You should do a comparison of cedar point and kings island
Haven’t done KI yet
I feel like verboten vs Chettah hunt would be a better comparison but nice vid
What up coastoons
Montu hasn’t been running the best the past year or so. It used to be so much better when they basically never turned the mid course brakes on and the trim brake before the batwing
tampa chain
Tampa
@@CatsAreKindaCooldogs are better
@@goofylittleguy0 what does that have to do with my comment 🤣
@@CatsAreKindaCool everything
@@goofylittleguy0 real
Iron Guazi Alone Makes It Better
You should’ve compared Iron Gwazi to Pantheon and then Verbolten and Cheetah Hunt. Much more accurate based on the experience those rides give.
Bro what I used to agree with what u said, but KUMBA!!! Bro that is a monster way better of a ride then Apollo I'm sorry ain't no way.. lol 😂
Did you just say Silver Dollar city and Dollywood are close to each other?
I think he meant they're close in terms of scoring, like which ones have the best atmosphere, rides, food, shows, operations, staff, etc. I don't think he was talking about distance.
You know busch gardens tampa als has Serengeti Flyer right?
Dude if you dont know anything about Tampa and the area, dont just guess. Do research. The Tampa area is awesome. Tampa has some really cool areas of the city and St Pete on the other side of the bay is great.
Revisit BGT in 2025 we should have a Giga by then also make it a 1-2 Punch and add a day at SWO too. Might as well splurge and visit the new Epic Universe a few months after it opens too. I feel like by 2030 if you can afford a pass for a family of 4 to both BGT/SWO and IOA/EU Florida will be a thrill seekers dream world. Also I live an hour west of BGT and the beaches are top notch in Pinellas County. Tampa Bay Rays getting a new Stadium in a few years. Downtown St Pete is growing at a massive rate and has a nice food scene too. Should have High Speed Rail by 2030 connecting Tampa to Orlando and even down to Miami so it will be easier for tourist to get around. There is a lot to do here trust me. BTW The Everglades, Gainesville and Jacksonville are swamp areas not Tampa.
You should do sf great America and sf great adventure
I haven’t even watched the video yet but I already going to say no change lol it has to be BGT
6:48 Not to be THAT guy, but BGT has Serengeti flyer.
Why does cedar fair not want to work with intamin?
I have to ask what IS the best theme park in the world in your opinion?
cp or islands
Cedar point by far
"Cookie Color" 5:17
theming + coaster collection: BGT. Now crappy park with good coasters: BGW.
Williamsburg also has water country
Wait, no way, did you use my footage of Kumba?
bro I went there a few weeks ago...
sheikra vs gtriffon?
Gwazi in itself makes the park > BGW 😭
Pleaseeeee do a great adventure ultimate review
Soon
Everyone shall have there own opinion and I respect it but as someone who has road all of the major b&m inverts in eastern America (Raptor, banshee, alp, montu)
Alp > montu > raptor > banshee
I end my Ted talk
BGW is like my favorite park ever
Darkoaster *
What about Serengeti Flyer
Volbulten was cray cray
Also my mom rode Apollo and she won’t like volbulten
I cannot believe this is not satire
What is it with all these people that are doing these reviews of Busch Gardens not telling you what the coaster at the beginning of the video which park it is in like instead of saying Superman at Darien Lake or Superman at Magic Mountain so you know right up front, I’ve noticed the gardens all of them do it where you don’t even know and they just expect you to know the name of the roller coaster
No multi launch Darkoaster
TAMPA IS A SWAMP?? said by only u 😂
Why not Cheeta Hunt vs Verbolten.....
great america in illinois vs california
Bgt the goat
Tampa has a train and a Screamin Swing too, big sad
magic maountain vs cedar point
You forgot serengeti flyers..
Its going to be bush gardens Tampa bay because a few weeks they tweeted when sand serpent was removed that's were its going to be
I think he made this already right?
I did Dollywood and silver dollar coty
