I am open to meet new people
From someone who GREW UP going to that place, you just went on an off day😭😂🤦♀️ I absolutely love Busch gardens. Like someone else said, we don’t want you there if all you’re gonna do is complain😭
That's with any theme park. Go during a week day when there are no holidays near.
Fast pass buddy
I go all the time the lines aren't that bad compared to Disney
I literally grew up in Tampa. And it’s not like that everytime you go. You have to be smart about the days you go or otherwise this WILL be the result.
that's why u go during a weekday when all the people are at work and school lol
That’s a fun ride I went with my friends
Been going yearly for 30 years now and season pass holder for 10 years. This place has been falling apart since Budweiser sold it. They don’t spend the money to repair anything , they just take it out. Give it 5 years before they close it.
Yaaaah, no one told u sorrrrrrrry. everyone in FL knows..
What do you expect you went on 2 of the most famous rides there
Floridian here ! Week days only, if you don’t want to wait . Look up online there rides that are currently running because unfortunately it does happen & I noticed that it has been more often than usual .
Everyone know ur supposed to go at the beginning of the week when ppl are working😭 u went on an off day😂
I hate the place too😑.
Go on weekdays and if your going on the weekend get the fast pass lmao
bro goes to a THEME PARK and gets mad there's a lot of ppl😭
go all the time and have never had an experience like that.
we never have any issues and we go there a lot
When was this ?
it's been like that for over 30 years. I could have told you to not go decades ago.
What'd you expect???? It's a tourist trap🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Should have bought a fast pass
😂 place is super crowded like the rest of the theme parks in fl. one time is plenty
please leave and never come back.
Trust we don’t want you there anyway bud 😂
Busch gardens is not always like this. you had a bad experience and other have too but the fact is there have been way more good times then bad and your only ruining the fun for people that haven't been multiple times. thing is with theme parks is of you want the best experience just good when they are normally the least occupied. I live down the road and go all the time
I’m going for my field trip in ny school I go to Abel
Go on week days or just skip da lines wussy boi 😭
went there for xmas this year amazing place
It’s called go on school days
learn when to go to busch gardens prolly went on a break or a weekend ur supposed to go on school days when no ones there
Working for Busch gardens is even worse
Das an off day gng you gotta go when it ain a holiday
Busch Gardens, which I've been to many times as I live in Pinellas County, is a Dollar Tree Orlando at the same price.
If you don't like it don't go. If you go on a Saturday or Sunday it'll be packed or around holidays when children don't have school it'll have long lines.
I live less than an hour away and I haven't been there in 20 years
It’s a poop show compared to 30 years ago!!!!
common sense says...MAYBE GO WHEN IT'S NOT A BUSY ASS TIME 🤦
charge more to get in then they will have something to complain about
that is what happens when you don't donyour gome work before traveling somewhere
Just yall luck. Never had this issue 😂
me AND MY FAMILY WENT ON CHRISTMAS AND I ONLY RODE IN 1 I was puss asf 😭
Weekends and holidays don’t go . Go during a weekday in between holidays you’ll enjoy it
Maybe get a fast pass or js dont go when there busy ash?
It depends when you go
Haven't been alot , but never had a bad experience there.
I think that’s Disney world in Orlando
Yeah sucks I’m from Tampa so we know the routine it is wat it is it’s every time we go just go watch the animals
yeah, Busch gardens sucks, used to be cool back in the day, not anymore
