Busch Gardens

I rode My first roller coaster here. My mom went with me so I wouldn’t go alone even though she gets motion sick. I survived the Lochness Monster unscathed but I admit my mom tossed her cookies politely in a trash can right after the ride.

Gotta Love moms. That is a true story of love.

I only live about an hour away so we have been visiting Busch Gardens since I was a baby! I love the rides(The Big Bad Wolf is my favorite!) and the food and entertainment at the beer hall is awesome. It can be a bit pricey with the ticket cost, the food, parking, drinks, etc… but it is worth it to splurge for a day of fun. My favorite time to go is in the fall right before they close cause they have Howl-o-Scream which is a huge Halloween celebration, and the whole park is transformed into a Halloween extravaganza! So much fun!

My favorite place was the giant beer hall in Oktoberfest!!!

I went 20 years ago and got to go back last fall, during Howl-o-Scream. I had a blast! Griffon and Apollo’s Chariot are awesome. If you love roller coasters, you’ll love BGE.
Since it was September, the weather was just right for spending two days at the park.
Recommend eating at the the Trappers Smokehouse. Extras can bring the cost up, but the food is great and will fill you up for most of the day.

i had the best time when i went here! its really fun!

Apollo’s chariott is the best coaster, but they are building a new one called the Griffin that looks intense

Very large, give yourself more than 1 day to explore!

I was in the navy and we were getting in free and I went so often, some employees knew my hubby and I by name. Especially some of the roller coaster ride operators lol! That is a GREAT place to go!!!

this is an absolute must-do with kids!!

The year was 1975, I was 15, and “Busch Gardens – The Olde Country” was shiny and new. My favorite ride at that time was the Glissade, a small-ish steel coaster with a blazing fast corkscrew. (It is no longer there.) Of course, the Loch Ness Monster came in 1978 and knocked our socks off. It was (and remains) an amazing ride. Busch Gardens is about more than the rides, though, it’s the beautiful “Olde Europe” atmosphere with entertainment and surroundings that are unique among theme parks.

My family visited there every summer for years until we kids were all grown ups going in different directions. I haven’t been there for a long time and I would love to return soon. Busch Gardens is the best and most beautiful theme park ever. That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it. ;-)
