That's what I was trying to say. :lol: I couldn't have said it any better myself.Busch has a few good coasters, but the layout of the park is HORRIBLE, the shows are terrible, I've never met a nice or enthusiastic employee, the food and drinks are more expensive, and you seem to get a different type of crowd than you see at animal kingdom. A lot of younger kids that are dropped off for the day by their parents, a lot more skin (bikini tops galore). That being said, I agree that these are 2 completely different parks.
Busch is thrills with some light theming. AK is crazy theming with a few thrills. But for me, AK wins hands-down.
However, I do have an annual pass to sea-world/busch, and get down to tampa about once every month or so.
I'm not sure that I agree about those statements. There are many more beautiful parks than BGA and BGE... Idlewild Park in PA and Cypress Gardens in FL are the first that come to mind. But there are SO many parks that have better landscaping than either of the above.BGT is a beautiful park,beautifully landscaped but the theming isn't what you find at AK.The Busch park in Virginia in is probably the most beautiful park in the US,but BGT isn't very far behind,I just prefer the European theme to the African and ZOO theme and Virginia's is also in a beautiful wooded hilly terrain,not next to a city street.Now comparing them to AK I have to go with either Busch park as I love coasters and they have some of the best at any park!!But what AK does is different they have more shows like LION KING or NEMO,although BGT does have KATONGA it's not as good as AK's.The theming is obviously better at AK,compare Montu to Everest as well as rides like Dinosaur you won't find at BGT.So I would say if you don't do coasters then AK is the park for you,but if you do, BGT is the better overall park!!!
A-yup. Sorry, but Busch Gardens is very "ghetto" compared to anything Disney has to offer. It's not even remotely in the same league. It's a lower-tier park.Busch has a few good coasters, but the layout of the park is HORRIBLE, the shows are terrible, I've never met a nice or enthusiastic employee, the food and drinks are more expensive, and you seem to get a different type of crowd than you see at animal kingdom.
