![]() ![]() The busch gardens parks are their own thing. And the shows are definitely better in Tampa. Its very easy to get lost multiple times unless you know the park inside and out. Also williamsburg has the most confusing layout of any park I’ve visited. Tampa is flat and has wide walkways which makes navigating the park a breeze. Also the narrow pathways at williamsburg do not make you feel at all like you’re in Europe, it makes you feel like you’re in an overly crowded zoo as you struggle to get around the masses of people walking and standing in the walkways. Tampa’s is the best in the world and williamsburgs drop tower is the worst one with the worst seats on any ride ever. ![]() Also the drop towers are at the far end of the spectrum from each other. However even the cloned rides are better at tampa. They both have sky rocket II’s, dive coasters, inverts, launch coasters, and family coasters. On paper, it seems like BGW and BGT are tied especially for roller coasters however, tampa is far and away the better location not just because they’re close to orlando, but their own roller coasters are better than williamsburgs versions of the same ride. We also love Halloween and both the Florida and Virginia parks do a great job at scaring us stiff! I don’t normally write reviews, but I feel like I needed to give a shout out to the shows my wife and I love to go see! We like Busch for their shows, Rollercoaters(which we believe Tampa’s coasters are much better than Williamsburg for us avid coaster riders), and the overall experience we get at BG. My wife and I are current Platinum pass holders and have chosen Busch Gardens after experiencing almost every amusement park in the US, and various parks in Europe. “Celtic Fire” is another amazing show at the Williamsburg BG and the Christmas ice Skating show with Elvis Stojko and the married pairs team from WV is also a personal favorite. The ice skating show “Turn it Up” is one of the most recognized and highest rated shows in the world, and my personal favorite of all the shows I’ve been to. One thing that articles regarding amusement parks never comment on are the entertainment shows. Or better yet take the time to visit both and see why we love Busch Gardens so much! If you like walking around Europe’s streets and riding some really fun flat rides, go to Williamsburg. Depending on what you are into, you can decide which is best for you! If you like animals and more park options go to Tampa. I think this sums up the Busch parks almost perfectly-both are incredible parks with killer coaster lineups. If you’re keeping track, we are at 2 points for Williamsburg, 2 points for Tampa, and 2 points at a draw. Located only 90 minutes from Orlando, you can easily plan a trip to hit up a number of other central Florida theme parks (or beaches). The Tampa park is by far in a better location for coaster enthusiasts. There is also all of the historical aspects of being in Williamsburg to take advantage of. The Virginia park is near Kings Dominion (45 minutes) and a short drive from Six Flags America (3 hours). The feeling of looking straight down as you plummet is unreal. The experiences on these two couldn’t be more different-I hands down prefer the tilting seats of Falcon’s Fury to the traditional seating on Mach Tower. ![]() Both parks have drop towers Mach Tower in Williamburg at 240 feet and Falcon’s Fury in Tampa towering in at 335 feet. Neither park really has a ton of non-coaster options. Winner: Tieīusch Gardens in general is more known for their coasters and scenery before anything else, especially flat rides. If Iron Gwazi rides anything like Steel Vengeance, then my lean my switch and go towards Tampa. Pantheon (Williamsburg) and Iron Gwazi (Tampa) both look like incredible rides. When the two park’s new-for-2021 (2022?) coasters open, it will even further put the coaster lineups in a neck and neck race. That being said, I absolutely would ride some coasters at Tampa before some at Williamsburg. I think that they have a slightly more well-rounded list with their hyper and wooden coaster. If I had to choose which lineup is better, my preferences would have me lean towards the Williamsburg park. ![]()
