Busch Gardens Questions or Comments

Gwazi Roller Coaster

This park is just awesome. The ride Gwazi being the fastest double wooden roller coaster, was so good we bought an annual pass. The Flume ride is just as it was in 1972, a classic ride with its wet finish. The Budweiser Clydesdales march throughout the park is a must see. The florida resident discounts are something you should check in to.

Ticket Discounts

The free papers around Tampa have discount tickets vouchers in them everyday. This includes Busch Gardens and Adventure Island, so you might as well take the 30% off and put the money back in your pocket. Check also the TBO paper, free daily around the greater Tampa Bay area. The same goes true for the fall's howl-o-scream, discount tickets for this event as well.
