Busch Gardens Tampa

[jama]

Can anyone tell me about Busch Gardens Tampa? What is their Halloween Nights like? Is it a seperate ticket event or can you stay all day with one ticket?
What is the best way to get there from Orlando- shuttles or cabs? (we will not have a car). I did see the Busch Garden shuttle operated by Mears is $10 roundtrip but the pick up time is 9:30am and we like to get to the parks before opening. Are there other shuttles or buses besides this one?
Thanks!

You will need to purchase a seperate ticket. Personally I avoid the park at night during this time...I dont like to have the heebies jeebies scared out of me. If you have small kids, I should caution you, from what I hear it is really scary at you walk around the park monsters and critters jump out at you.

I cant help you with the shuttles from Orlando, sorry.

Thanks. We went to Busch Gardens Williamsburg last Oct. and it was just one ticket and I couldn't find any info for the Tampa one. It really was not that scary. My kids and even my 82 yr old Dad enjoyed it.
My DD will be 11 this July and my DS will be 13 on 10-31... a halloween baby... maybe thats why he likes haunted houses.
I have read alot of negative things about the Universal halloween so I thought we would skip it and do Magic Kingdoms and Busch Gardens.
