Seaworld & Busch Gardens Quick Queue Tickets

[Guest]

Good Evening, Can anyone advise if the quick queue tickets for SeaWorld & Busch Gardens Tampa Bay are worth the money? Do you save any time and get to do more of the rides? We're going mid August and it's the first time for me. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks Kazza

My advise for both of the, is to see how full the car park is. The more full it is the more you could benefit from quick que.

Sea world though there is a bit more flexibility as it is local so you could come back on the on a different day and do other rides you counndt on the 1st time. Busch gardens being over 70 miles away it will be pot luck you will know if it's busy when you get there and if that's the case then quick que may be better as it is less local

Both parks have apps so you can check wait times. Out of all the park groups sea world and Busch gardens your less likely to need quick que in my opinion as there less busy compared to Disney or universal. See how things are on the day before getting a pass though.

Ok thanks for that. We'll see how it is on the day. Thanks again

We went to both parks last august and bought them at both and we defiantly got our monies worth! Our mantra is we are buying time and that's invaluable! We were there with our 4 year old so we only wanted to stay till tea time anywhere

Cool, thank you. Are they roughly the same price at the parks?

Sea world is the cheapest by far as there are less rides, then Busch gardens and the universal ones were the most expensive if you are off there too x

We bought Quick Queue for SeaWorld last September (midweek visit), we really didn't need it most rides were a walk on including Mako. Also Atlantis and Penguin Encounter went tech. We were lucky to do the rides in the morning as bad weather in the afternoon shut the coasters down.
We didn't bother for Busch, I had a print out of another Dibber's plan of attach at Busch and it worked for us. (sorry for the life of me I cannot remember the Dibber's name)
Have a great holiday and happy planning

Mid August onwards is classed as off-peak and it certainly gets quieter in the parks (especially non-Disney parks)

I don't think you will need it

I didn't buy them for Busch Gardens when we went in August 2015. We got there fairly early and did all the big rides a few times (except cheetah run) without queuing much. By midday it was getting busy but we had done all the big rides we wanted to. The one ride we queued for about 45 minutes was the scorpion and this was purely due to not seeing the queue (the ride wasn't great- but my 5 year old daughter made the height requirement) and it was her first upside down coaster).
I am debating whether to get them this time as we won't get there as early - I probably will get them. That said, your four year old won't be able to go on the big rides so you may find the queues for the more tame rides are ok anyway. The water rides might be the ones you will queue for.

We are in Orlando from 10th August so I'm hoping we won't need to buy these.
