How busy are Seaworld & Busch Gardens Tampa due to free admissions?

[Loudbmw]

We were at Busch Gardens Williamsburg two weeks ago and it was mobbed as a result of the free (and well deserved) admissions they were giving to Police, Fire, Rescue and Military.

I see they have made the same offer in Florida until the end of the year - has it made a big difference in attendance there? We are going the week of Dec. 15 - Dec 20.

Thanks,

I visited SW 10/24 and BGT 10/27. Both parks had light attendance. However, Howl O' Scream 10/27 was an absolute mob scene. Unless things change I think you should be OK.

We were at Sea World last week on a Saturday and Wednesday. The park was not crowded. Busch Gardens last Saturday was mobbed.
