(6) SUMMARY:  One way or round trip, it's a great way to view the park.  If you take this ride one way it'll let you off on the other side of the park.  At any rate take it once but don't go out of your way to ride it a second time.

(6) SUMMARY:  A jungle safari ride featuring encounters with live animals and thrill ride excitement. I have tried to ride this ride on several occations and every time I've been there the water portion of this ride has been broken. The land portion of the ride is not worth the time in line

(6) SUMMARY:  This is one of three monster roller coasters that you will find here at Busch Gardens.  This giant steel coaster does all the loops, spins and drops that you could want.  The train even goes through one of the loops.  This ride is a must see if you like roller coasters.

(6) SUMMARY:  This is the second of five roller coasters at Busch Gardens.   This is another steel coaster but the ride is short and there is only one loop.   Though the ride is old and not all that exciting it is still worth riding.

(6) SUMMARY:  The Haunted Lighthouse" (a new 3D movie with live actors and special effects) staring Christopher Lloyd (Doc from Back To The Future) is one of the funnyest shows I've seen. Done mostly with sight gags that involve the audiance this show will have you holding your sides from laughing. The only draw back is that it is sight gags. that means that once you've seen it, it will loose much of it's comedy aspect. If you are at Busch Gardens though, see this show.

(6) SUMMARY:  Musicians play and dancers dance to music from around the world.  This is also a good restaurant to eat lunch or dinner at but you must arrive early to get a good seat.  Typical Octoberfest atmosphere.  By the way, you don't have to eat to enjoy the show.

(6) SUMMARY:  This is the second of the three monster coasters at this park.   They get worse as we move along.  Longer drop, more twists and turns, and an upside down reverse loop that will make you think "Why did I go on this?".   Great ride, a must see.

(6) SUMMARY:  A very early steel coaster that has seen better days.  A very short ride combined with a lot of wear and tear rates this coaster only two stars.   Great in its day but its days are gone.   Good only for first time riders who want to see what a loop feels like.

(6) SUMMARY:  The third of the three major roller coasters is the newest one at Busch Gardens.  This is an old style wooden roller coaster (which has recently made a resurgence in popularity) and it is also a dual coaster.  Although the top speed is only 50 this coaster has enough drops and sharp turns to satisfy even the true enthusiast.   The two coasters pass each other at several points during the ride which adds greatly to the thrill.  It's a great ride but stress levels rise quite a bit on some turns.

(6) SUMMARY:  This is a good show.  It's entertaining and some what educational.  You won't get twenty minutes of bird tricks though there are some.   The knowledgeable handlers give you quite a bit of background on the different birds which include hawks, eagles, parrots and others.
