Busch Gardens in August

[Portugal1000]

We were at Busch Gardens just a couple of weeks ago and loved it. We are going back to Orlando again from 11th to 28th August and as we have the annual SeaWorld.Aquatica/Busch ticket thought we would go again. Can anyone tell me how busy it would be. There was hardly anyone there when we went which meant we could just stay on the rides if we wanted. Might not be so great if it was really busy. Also, we got a lift there from friends but would have to use the shuttle in August. Anyone know how long this takes and what time it leaves Busch.
Thanks

I know in summer Busch is open later and puts DJ booths throughout the park with music at night,I know it will be busier than when you went when everything was a walk on,I would avoid weekends for sure as locals will come out and everything will be at least 45 minutes,come on a weekday and you might get some decent wait times for the rides,I also love riding the coasters when it's dark as it's not normal to be at Busch that late.
