Interesting video including all the rides. I love the list man. Pretty much agree with everything except Phoenix being the worst ride. I totally understand the hate for it and how much it hurts, but I dunno. Maybe there’s just nostalgia there for me. I was riding the Phoenix before I ever rode my first roller coaster (Kumba in 93, I was 11 yrs old).
I’m very excited to ride Montu the next time I go to Busch Gardens. I haven’t ridden much rides there. I’ve only ridden cheetah hunt, cobras curse, scorpion, and sand serpent but I know for sure I will like montu and all the other ones I haven’t ridden.
I have always felt that while they are soft, they kind of keep you in one spot and take away from the hangtime. Maybe that's just me, but that was my biggest issue with the ride.
They cut into my shoulders. I'm 5'11" so I KNOW that for very tall people it has to hurt. And just the fact that they're called "comfort collars" proves that it's just for grabbing onto and serves no actual safety function. Also, they cause loading/unloading to take longer.
My favorite ride there is Iron Gwazi, followed by Cheetah Hunt, old Gwazi, Sheikra, Kumba, Montu, Cobra's Curse, Stanley Falls Flume, Congo Rapids, Sand Serpent (R.I.P.), Tanganyika Tidal Wave (R.I.P.), Scorpion, and Python (R.I.P.). Falcoln's Fury was closed last time I went there.
As Much As I Hate Kumba It Is Definitely Better Then Old Gwazi It Was Super Rough (This Is Coming From A Guy Who Says Son Of Beast Is Better Then Mystic Timbers So Don't Judge)
my personal ranking of the main coasters: 1. cheetah hunt (lots of airtime) 2. iron gwazi (amazing but a bit too intense) 3. sheikra (usually short wait times, i marathonned it) 4. cobras curse (some of the best theming ive ever experienced) 5. tigris (bad restraints) 6. montu (boring) 7. kumba (boring and painful)
1. Iron Gwazi super intense barely edges out Cheeta Hunt 2. Cheeta Hunt most fun, good air just a blast to ride 3. Tigirs it is the loose restraints that make the ride an adventure 4. Cobra's Curse just a good fun ride 5. Scorpion because it is the only OG ride left other than the flume and skyride 6. Sheikra to short and looks intimidating from the ground 7. Montu is fun but a big to long 8. Kumba to rough and your head bangs around into the restraints I miss Python period!!!! BG is my home park and I grew up with it and been going all the way back when the Gardens were free. Yes I am that old.
Great video! I love Busch Gardens! I just uploaded a video of my first time riding Cheetah Hunt and found your vid! Subbed as well. Continue to grow your channel.
I agree that Falcon's Fury is better than a lot of the coasters. Kind of afraid that it may not open back up though. It's been closed for 4+ months since the ICON park incident. Cool rare footage of Phoenix ACTUALLY working too lol. I thought it was permanently closed a few years ago.
How can anyone not like BGT? It's such a great park. It's a level higher than Six Flags and Cedar Fair parks, but just below Disney and Universal parks. Now BGT has more thrills overall than those two, but BGT just has a higher level quality and upkeep compared to other parks. Love it!! I respect your rankings. I would definitely move some of the coaster rankings around, but this park will be at upper tier elite park when Iron Gwazi opens.
What do you think is better Busch Gardens Williamsburg or Busch Gardens Tampa? I have never been to BGT but I think Williamsburg is better if you don't count the new coasters that haven't opened
I haven’t done Williamsburg recently, but while Williamsburg has better theming, Tampa has awesome animal attractions and a slightly better ride collection.
@@ThemeParkAvenue Tampa does have the animals that is true but. I really like apollos chariot, verbolten, and invadr plus loch ness is way more iconic than scorpion. I don't know if iron gwazi can make up for those rides especially when pantheon looks so good too.
@@ThemeParkAvenue cheetah hunt looks probably more fun than verbolten though. And I am sure kumba and montu are great but alpengeist isn't a bad ride i'm sure
@@chargedonpc9989 it could. I feel personally that Montu beats Alpengeist, Cheetah Hunt beats any launch coaster at Williamsburg so far, and Kumba makes up for Apollo. Both are certainly great though.
@@ThemeParkAvenue yeah I think I agree other than I'm not sure if Kumba would make up for not having apollo's for me but I haven't ridden kumba so I don't know.
Me ranking everything I rode: (Falcon’s Fury was closed for me) 1. Iron Gwazi - elite coaster 2. SheiKra - dive coasters are super underrated and so fun 3. Serengeti Flyer - new for 2023 amazing flat ride 4. Cheetah Hunt - family coaster, just pure fun 5. Tigris - short and a little uncomfortable, but still a really fun ride 6. Stanley Falls - super underrated log flume 7. Cobra’s Curse - decent 8. Congo River Rapids - mid tier rapids ride but I love rapids rides 9. Serengeti Railway - nice train ride around the park, I like this one 10. Sand Serpent - generic but ok 11. Kumba - a little rough not my favorite but still kinda fun 12. Montu - most overrated coaster I’ve ever ridden, I found it to be really boring and just not great 13. Air Grover - just a kiddie coaster 14. Scorpion - no Also, Sand Serpent is the least jerky of the three wild mice I’ve done lol. The others were Primeval Whirl at Animal Kingdom and Cheddar Chase at Alabama Adventure. And how would Serengeti Flyer rank on this list?
@@ChickenTruck69-dl8ck Tigris is uncomfortable but it’s still a really good coaster. And yea Cheetah Hunts restraints suck but on a ride as mild as cheetah hunt it’s not as bad as it would be on something as intense as Tigris. Both coasters are pretty interchangeable for me, I just ranked Cheetah Hunt higher because it’s a longer ride and just feels fun.
@@coasterteen7578 if it’s not during spring break, that’s a good day. Check the school calendars if nearby counties to see if they have break at that time assuming you go in late March or any time in April.
I have to disagree with you over tigris. I thought that it was one of the best in the park. It was very intense. Everything else on the list seems amazing.good job!
Sorry about the typo. Let’s just pretend it’s Halloween and that’s why I wrote Tampa Bat. Thanks for watching!
lol ok.
Everyone makes mistakes!
@shadowshattergames1900 Yah Like People Saying Cheetah Hunt Is 2nd In The Park :)

Glad you like Phoenix. Thanks for watching!
Great video and great list! I've been on Banshee before too. The train ride looked nice. I liked the water rides. You misspelled "Tampa Bay". It's ok.
Man's growing so quick. When you hit 1k I can actually start tagging you which I def plan to do
Thank you!
I’m very excited to ride Montu the next time I go to Busch Gardens. I haven’t ridden much rides there. I’ve only ridden cheetah hunt, cobras curse, scorpion, and sand serpent but I know for sure I will like montu and all the other ones I haven’t ridden.

@@ThemeParkAvenue thank you
i’m going here in may and i’m so excited. nice vid 👍
Thank you! I hope you have a great time.
A mixture of bay and but, a man of culture I see.
yes
I honestly don't know how people don't like Tigris restraints. Falling into the soft shoulder straps is nice when hanging upside down.
I have always felt that while they are soft, they kind of keep you in one spot and take away from the hangtime. Maybe that's just me, but that was my biggest issue with the ride.
really?! i prefer no comfort collar because it takes away from the overall ride experience
They cut into my shoulders. I'm 5'11" so I KNOW that for very tall people it has to hurt. And just the fact that they're called "comfort collars" proves that it's just for grabbing onto and serves no actual safety function. Also, they cause loading/unloading to take longer.

WHY DOES EVERYONE LIKE CHEETAH HUNT IM STARTING TO THINK ITS MORE OVERRATED THEN STEEL VENGEANCE OR EL TORO
@@ChickenTruck69-dl8ck it ain’t overrated it just that good
Great video! I love Busch Gardens! I just uploaded a video of my first time riding Cheetah Hunt and found your vid! Subbed as well. Continue to grow your channel.

The footage of Phoenix is pretty old (hence the lower quality) and I hope Falcon opens back up.
Falcon opened like a week ago
How can anyone not like BGT? It's such a great park. It's a level higher than Six Flags and Cedar Fair parks, but just below Disney and Universal parks.

Keep up the good work u almost at 1k!
Thanks for your support!
We just went there this weekend love sheikra. I think we missed spell that lol.
You spelled it correctly. Sheikra is a great ride.
Have you been on the Haunted Mansion at Kneobels ? Legendary.
I have.
This is what I like bro!
Glad you like it!
Which of the kids rides can adults ride?
Most of the kids rides can not be ridden without a kid, but I know Air Grover can be.
I've ALWAYS wanted to make one of these videos, they just seem tedious. Inspiration for me? maybe...
It’s good to start small. If you want to rank a park with a small ride collection, most Disney second gates are good.
@@ThemeParkAvenue Yeah great Idea, maybe like a small local park as well, thanks!

And how would Serengeti Flyer rank on this list?
I disagree but respect your opinion. Serengeti Flyer could be around where Cobra's Curse is.
Says that Tigris is uncomfortable Likes Cheetah Hunt 😐
@@ChickenTruck69-dl8ck Tigris is uncomfortable but it’s still a really good coaster.

I Respect That But Cheetah Hunt's Restraints Are Worse Then Skyrush For Me
Also What's So Bad About Scorpion :/
My list is
1.Montu
2.Shikira
3.Cheetah hunt
4.Tigris
5.iron gawazi
6.Scorpion
7.Kumba
8.Cobras curse
And I also really agree with your list
Thanks! Your list is very good.
Why IG so low?
@@MrBrian-pr9pd just don’t rlly like it I don’t find the thrill of the ride
he called the busch flyers being removed 3 years early 😭phoenix rising took place
What is the least busiest day at Busch gardens Tampa?
Fall and winter weekdays besides winter break.
@@ThemeParkAvenue what about spring on a Monday?
@@coasterteen7578 if it’s not during spring break, that’s a good day. Check the school calendars if nearby counties to see if they have break at that time assuming you go in late March or any time in April.
I live in Florida and Busch gardens is one of my favorite places to go
Awesome! I agree.
has anyone been on iron gwazi it is so fun and intense the elements are so blended into each other and the drop is insane and the death roll
I have, it’s easily number one now.
THE MONTU IS THE BEST I AGREE I HAVE ON IT ALOT
Had no idea there were actually so many rides even if they are kid rides! -S
I hurt myself on the Congo river rapids raft steps
Sorry to hear that.
100% agree with top 6
That’s great! Thanks for watching!
This is my first year buying passes for my family. But BG is MY favorite park out of the 4 that we have. Absoulte gem of a video my guy!
@@DADSmith3 thank you for your kind words.
I have to disagree with you over tigris. I thought that it was one of the best in the park. It was very intense. Everything else on the list seems amazing.good job!
That’s fair. I know some love that one. Thanks for watching!
@@ThemeParkAvenue i loveee tigris
@@franklinturtle5396 I’m glad you like it!
Number 4 In The Park Imo
What about iron gwazi
This video predates it, but I recently made an updated list you can check out.
Iron gwazi is open now , is the best
Agreed. It's my favorite ride in the park by far.
Montu is my fav to
Nice
Mine is montu
Good choice!
@@ThemeParkAvenue my top five inverts are
#1 montu
#2 Afterburn
#3 banshee
#4 raptor
#5 batman
Have not Ben on Silver bullet and nemesis
I Agree But Banshee Is Better Then Afterburn Imo
Not a while back I actually visited Busch Gardens and the rides were pretty good. Not one piece of mid!!
Awesome! I think the rides are definitely fantastic with Iron Gwazi being one of the best.
I love croba crse
Me too
inaccurate
HOW IS CHEETAH HUNT NUMBER 5 ITS 100% #1
I just find the other rides above it to be more thrilling and intense.
@@ThemeParkAvenue maybe that’s my opinion because cheetah hunt was my first upside down roller roaster
