Anyone paid for one of the tours at Busch Gardens? - The DIS Discussion Forums

Linda67 · 11-09-2009, 09:56 AM

Hey everyone
I was thinking of spening a day at Busch Gardens during our March 2010 vacation as we haven't been for many years
Has anyone tried one of their 'Tour Packages'
There is a $99 option which includes a 5 hour tour, lunch and front of line access to 'most of the major rides'
You still have to pay general park admission but this would be a good way of getting onto some of their coasters without too much wait
Thanks

I did the coaster tour this summer and thought it was great! I'm a coaster enthusiast tho, and it isn't for everyone. Not many people find lift hill dissection thrilling

If the tour isn't for you, I suggest paying $15 for their version of a fast pass. It's super cheap and because the park is rarely busy to begin with, it puts you at the front of the line every time.

We fed the giraffes at BG and LOVED it

It was a Christmas present to ourselves as we were there over Chrismas in December - would do it again!

The next time we go to BG, I am going on the giraffe tour! DH would LOVE the coaster tour, so perhaps I'll go play with the giraffes and he'll go play with the roller coasters.

I haven't done either but have heard really good things about them.

Thanks for this, I didn't realise that you could buy a 'fast pass' from them. I'll check that out on their website
