| Busch Gardens, Tampa Is there a message board like Passporter for Busch Gardens, Tampa?? I am looking for any tips on making our park experience better. We will probably only visit one day, so I want to see as much as possible. maggie |

| Re: Busch Gardens, Tampa I don't know if there is a message board for it. We went last October and had no problem seeing everything in one day. We were kind of dissappointed with it after just having been at Disney. I don't know what we were expecting but there were a few things not open b/c of constuction. There was a huge area in the middle of the park boarded up. Hopefully they are done with that by now. Of course, it was just after all the hurricanes too. I had bought a book called "The Unofficial Guide to Florida with Kids" to prepare for the trip. I think alot of the info in it you can read online thru frommers.com. I am pretty sure they had a plan in there to see it all in 1 day. |

| Re: Busch Gardens, Tampa I have not been to Busch Gardens since 2002 and it was pretty crowded the day we went. BG doesn't have a FP type system (well they do but you have to pay $75 extra for it!) so the lines are VERY long. It is not rear to wait 60 minutes for a coaster even during a "slow" time. Don't get me wrong I LOVE BG (coasters and animals are my thing) but it is so hard to go there after going to Disney. FP is a gift from God! *LOL* |

| Re: Busch Gardens, Tampa Thanks for the info so far. We are visiting my inlaws who live in Tampa/St. Pete this summer. I am always bored there (basically I sit around while DH fixes their office computers, etc.) So DH told me to find a couple day trips to go on while we are down there. So, I know it won't be Disney, but better than sittiing around. Maggie |

| Re: Busch Gardens, Tampa We stayed in St Pete when we went over to Busch Gardens. We found this great steakhouse up the road in Maidera Beach called Leatherbacks. It was a really nice meal. Its right on the main road that runs along the gulf. |

| Re: Busch Gardens, Tampa I've seen some advertising for Busch Gardens, and I think they have several new attractions. I bet you'll have fun Maggie! Be sure to come back and tell us all about it! |

| Re: Busch Gardens, Tampa Around May 2005, Busch Gardens Tampa will open SheiKra, a coaster with two 90 degree drops! It sounds like fun. You can see a computer video of it on www.buschgardens.com |
