    BGT is our home park, so we go frequently. 2 things. Frequently, when we go, Iron Gwazi does not open at the same time as the park. It's typically 20~30 minutes (or more) before they let riders into the line to ride. So you may not wait long in the queue, but you still wait. the line frequently gets back to the entrance stores before they open the ride (i.e. build-a-bear store). Second. They recently changed the Serengeti Flyer ride. They send it at 2 different levels. Before 1:30p, it's the tamer version that doesn't go as high and as fast. After 1:30p, it's full speed/height. Just keep that in mind depending on how much of a thrill seeker you are.
  • @mattkarls
    When is the best time to ride Iron Gwazi?!? ... Anytime, duh!
  • I am going on june 14 to 16 i just want have great fun with my teenage kids 17 and 16 thank you for the tips
  • I actually suggest you make Cheetah Hunt your first ride of the day. When I went to the park in September of 2022, Cheetah Hunt had a wait time of 45 minutes to an hour or more while the longest wait time I saw for Iron Gwazi was only 30 minutes. I then suggest Cobra's Curse since it had a 35 minute wait and then Month since it's right next to it. What you do afterwards is up to you.
  • Good Video, my only suggestion, especially for those with kids, to not stay anywhere near the park.. the area surrounding the park, is not safe at night. We always stay in Brandon, which is about 3 exits south of the park (15-20 minute drive, but worth it). Super nice area with lots of restaurants to eat at.
  • @alex33952
    thanks for sharing! 1) I dont go to Iron Gwazi at opening, I do the Cheetah Hunt, and Cobras Curse area then back to the Shekira area, loop back to Iron Gwazi mid day. 2) Adventure Island for me was overrated in 2021, not special, seems like an average water park. SFNE water park seemed the same to me. 3) As I live in the NE, I can get the sea world platinum pass at the park of my choice. I go with San Antonio as its way cheaper as I don't care about the park perks but want admission and preferred parking. 4) Ill be visiting end of this month during the week, hope its very slow
  • I love when you do videos on my home parks! You hit on everything, except the bathrooms! There is a more private bathroom by the Springs Taproom! Trust me, that’s where you want to go if you need to sit down😂 Awesome video once again!
  • @rogtif88
    We were there the last week of March this year and it was amazing, the map in the app is absolutely worthless just use the ones posted around the park. Use the link in the app to book your stay and get length of stay passes and parking for everyone in your room for less than you would pay for the room and we were at the Holiday Inn Express just down from the park. Instead of paying the high prices for food inside the park pack a cooler and some foldable chairs and go out to car for lunch and catch your breath.
  • @JewishSingers
    I've seen a lot of videos on BGT & this is a really gr8 won! I'd still say I enjoy OkCoasters video more, but the information & editing in this video is truly on point.
  • @876portturbo

  • @kerryneohlson814
    We are going to Busch Gardens, Tampa tomorrow we are very excited. Am looking forward to riding all the big roller coasters. We already went to Universal Studios and SeaWorld and we are going to Disney on Saturday and staying for four days or more.
  • @giantfam3951
    Thanks for great advices! We planning to visit there this summer 🤞
  • @Redfoot138
    I made my long-awaited (17 years) return to BGT a few days ago (a Wednesday). Unfortunately for me, the park closed at 6pm so no Gwazi night rides for me 😐 I did get several night rides on VelociCoaster Tuesday and Thursday so that helped ease the pain.
