Busch Gardens Tampa: General Discussion

Honestly sounds like they just had a bad dayI wouldn't personally call BGT any of the attributes my family refer to it as, nor would I call Thorpe them either!
As for them needing themes to enjoy the ride, I wouldn't say they do, personally. I certainly don't!

It might not have been helped by the fact that my Mum was traumatised by Falcon's Fury...Honestly sounds like they just had a bad day![]()

Talk of the town, eh? Wonder whether they chose Twisted Tiger, Tigris or Uproar for the name? I'm personally hoping for Tigris, but Uproar sounds most like a Sky Rocket II.

You'd have thought Busch have seen enough Uproar to last a lifetime at this stage.

Just an update on Falcon's Fury: the ride has been shut for months after sustaining severe damage from a much stronger than normal lightning strike. Replacement parts from Intamin have now been installed, but I'm told that the ride has to be tested and commissioned again as if it were brand new.
The park want to reopen it ASAP, guest services are currently saying it will be back open in time for Howl-O-Scream however I wouldn't be surprised if it reopened earlier.

Bit disappointed. Still my favourite florida park so any addition is welcome.

They just massively teased RMC Gwazi for 2020, saying (with emphasis) that Gwazi has always had a ROCKY ride and that it (Gwazi) will be "revamped" into a whole new ride experience for 2020.
As for Tigris, love the name, love the colour scheme, love the coaster, just wish it was a higher throughput.

Apparently RMC coasters aren't that expensive.If they RMC Gwazi for 2020 then I can forgive them for the awful addition in 2019! Having said that, are we really likely to see major investments at both Tampa and Williamsburg in 2020?
