You wont get me on that, happy to bottle it haha. The kids and their dad love rides so they will be in their element!

I'll have a look at Tim's vlog! Thank you!

The Serengeti Safari is well worth the money, you go out onto the plain and feed the giraffes. Also recommend the Jungala and Heart of Africa tour.

I used my Sea World cup there last year with no problem.

It's a great park with some great rides (I'm a wimp and hold the bags but everyone tells me that Montu is the best).

Go on the train to get some good views of the animals, got stuck behind some rhino the one trip who refused to move off the track.

You can see everything in one day and it should be quiet in October.

Thank you! Really looking forward to the safari, will look into getting it booked, and great news with the sea world cup, currently use it for work but will put it away so the barcode doesn't wash off!

Brilliant! Thanks for that... a quiet park is what i'm hoping for! The kids love big coasters so they will love it!

Might be worth a tweet or ask on FB to Busch Gardens to see when it is available to book

Montu is very good but, for us, Cheetah Chase is the best ride in BG. Having said that there will be 3 rides in the park that we haven't done before - Falcon's fury, Cobra's curse and Tigris.

Are there any of the coasters that aren't crazy extreme with loads of loops or extreme drops? I have a bad heart and am ok on the likes of Everest/Slinky lol but haven't done anything more extreme for a long time! My cardiologist says im ok but no upside down (and I don't like upside down or big loops anyway!) but would be nice to do something with the kids!

I would regretably say, no. Think Kraken, Hulk and co as equivalents. The one without loops is Sheikra. That just has two vertical drops, on one of which they hold you on the magnets before release. That may be your best bet.

If in doubt on Coasters (wife is wary), we always utube a front of the line ride.

Yeah sod that lol. Think i'll stick to bag holding and water rides, and being at one with the animals. Hulk makes me want to puke just looking at it... still, at least the kids and husband will be happy! Thanks!
