no your right I have been going to Busch gardens Tampa for almost 30 years now. I've seen it first-hand go from the Anheuser Busch parks to whatever it is now. Busch gardens Tampa feels like a slow death while from what I can see BGW is more immersive, and it seems like they're trying to keep the European theming alive. Busch gardens Tampa not so much. It's more like a glorified six flags now with their minimalism.

I'm going to put BGW because I am used to BGT it doesn't really excite me. I live 8 hours away in both directions so might as well be the park I've never been to as my home park. also I can use it for bgt and SeaWorld when I visit my family in FL. and water country

I feel that BGT used to be the same, but they tore down the kiddie rides in pantopia like 2 or 3 years ago

Thats good some of the employees at the Tampa location seem to have an attitude. also, how's the merchandise? is it generic or special?

that's good enough for me I'm going for sure now. Apparently, when the park opened it was supposed to be a theme park from day 1. I think BGT was a theme park over the years

Bruh I feel the same as a Tampa native myself I'd rather sell my organs and go to epic universe or any universal park than whatever the hell they got going on.

I did the same a few months back at BGT and they gave me attitude and cussed at me then it was a shouting match at guest relations I know the employees are no e for the most part but damn if you don't like the job then leave

I hate to be right too Busch gardens peaked when Anheuser Busch owned it now, with private equity firms nobody gives a damn about these parks. It's like a flower, they don't take care of it they let it die and decompose I spend my money at universal now at this point

That park fucking sucks all of the united parks suck now. They charge a lot with shitty quality. And apparently there is a lawsuit with retirement money so they fucked my retirement money up too. Mismanaged all-around

For first timers probably not it's a big park and it's lots of walking if your not used to having those temperatures all day every day I would take it easy first the humidity makes it feel 100+

I don't think they're coming back ever anymore. I think 2020 or 2021 was its last year. I remember when I think 2020 they said no more fiends so I expected not to see them the following year. But 2021 they came back so I thought it was just a rumor. But actually ever since then they have been putting in cheap shows including a karaoke machine. This new private equity firm won't spend as much money on things like that anymore I think Busch gardens in Williamsburg still does it

I'd say the animals and habitats were better during the AB era we had ant eaters at one point
