    Great video! And glad you enjoyed BGT! It's one of my favorite parks. Very solid roller coaster collection and when Iron Gwazi opens (March 2022), the lineup will be insane! The park is monsterous and so hard to do everything in one day. I usually go for the coasters and Falcons fury, but always enjoy looking at the animals as I walk around the park.

    Thank you so much for the overview. We were Disney Annual Pass holders for the past 5 years but are taking a break from Disney because of too many changes they made. Now we are exploring all the other big area attractions and are are going to Bush Gardens Tampa for the first time on Thursday. We have been to the one on Williamsburg many times and love it. We want a Christmas thing plus we love roller coasters and animals. Looks like this will be a great day. Also, thanks for telling us about the smoke house. That will be our GO TO place for our main meal. Now I'm looking forward to it even more!

    • @ChrissaTravels
      @ChrissaTravels  Před 2 lety +1

      We are Disney passholders now and considering doing the same exact thing! Our passes don't expire until May, though. So, we still have time to decide. But, those same things have weighed on us as well. Busch Gardens is such a great park. We just decided to become passholders, because there are so many benefits that come with the platinum passes (like a safari).
      You'll really enjoy the Christmas Celebrations, too! The whole park is decorated beautifully. You'll have to let me know how you like it! 😊

    I was wondering how Busch Gardens Tampa compared to the Busch Gardens park that we often visit when we travel to Williamsburg, Virginia. This park in Tampa looks amazing. There are so many cool rides and animals here. Lots of amazing coasters - and the Sesame Street area looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for introducing us to this beautiful park. Hope we can make time for it on an upcoming trip to Florida. We enjoyed this overview!

      Hi BroadwayBlueShirts! Thank you so much for watching! :) It will be a jammed packed day, and will depend on how busy the park is the day of your visit. You'll have a greater chance if you go on a weekday - since we locals won't be there. But, if you are planning on going on a weekend, then I highly recommend getting one of the quick queue passes to give you the best chance to ride everything you want. But, you can definitely fit everything in one day.
