We are here now and I am really frustrated with Busch. 7 years ago was by far the best day we had. Today has been a complete rip off. $37 plus tax to park (more than Disney, Universal and Seaworld), lockers are forced (Seaworld you can leave bags on the side at own risk) and $10 for the day or $1 for each ride. Went to refill my Seaworld mugs and first they want $9 plus tax ($7 at Seaworld plus tax) and then when I went to get a single refill ALL the soda machines were broken. Got free water instead so not all lost. But the rides are good. Iron Gwazi had a long queue but was very good. Sheikra has always been my favourite coaster and no queue as well. Only down side is it’s raining on and off so each ride is shutting when we’re in the queue. Not their fault but frustrating. We’ll definitely be going home early as intended but have only ridden 3 rides by 1pm and got here at 10am.

Also to continue my rant a bottle of soda is $6.49, smart water $6.79 and ice cream bars are $7.29 all before tax. Dippin dots are $10.29 for a small one. It’s just so much more than Disney, Universal etc.

Busch and Sea World have great rides but very poor management and overall staffing levels. Food and drink prices are ridiculous too.

I have told this before but we witnessed people stealing drinks and using the express lanes without anyone challenging them.

Go off-peak and there are barely any staff - let yourself on and off the rides!

Yes even today, peak summer, most of the rides were unmanned in the queues!

It was like this at SeaWorld in the queues too!
