Is there a Busch Gardens forum?

[JoniGirl]

I checked all the links on the index page, but don't see it. I am probably looking right at it!

I read somewhere that Busch Gardens gives two beers a day / per person. I am wondering if that is a rumor??

I can't drink and ride - I am wondering how many of the free beers they have to mop off the floors!

I live in Tampa and have a annual pass at B.G. So I go there a lot. They do give you 2 free beers per a person. The trick is to get someone who is not drinking to give you their 2 beers or to wait until they switch staff and then go back up. Let me know if you need any other info. Have fun.

I was served free beer there over 40 years ago. At the time their only claim to fame was the tallest escalator.

and now you can't take the escalator anymore. I can't even stand the smell of beer but I always enjoyed the tour of the plant. I miss it.

You just need a couple of disguises.....they seem to appreciate the effort into getting 2 more!!!

Dont forget this goes for SW as well and they also have barcadi silver in many flavors for those not into beer and at SW there are two seperate bars no need to wait for staff changing

That's true highlander. Infact I think I use my disguises more at SW though than at Busch! They have asked my friend once "haven't you had 2 already sir?" at SW to which he replied "D'ohh have I? He then borrowed a different hat and glasses and he was served........funny thing was I'm sure they realised.....but had to smile.

Don't forget Beer School. If you go to the school they give you either 6 or 8 samples (can't remember). They are smallish...but you drink them all fairly quickly. Plus at times they'll have other things for you to do like, Drink these two beers and tell me which one is newer...now drink these two and tell me. These don't count against your other "two" free ones.

Wow! I did not know Sea World was giving out alchohol too! Whoo hoo!! You just can't beat free booze LOL!

We talk about BGT in the Sea World forum, yes, it's right here under your nose. The board will probably pick up as the new B&M (Yes!) dive machine is built.
I just wuw talking about taking advantage of the free beer.
It's fun to get 2 samples, then go back after a shift change. At BGT it's easy because the hospitality house is on the path leading to Stanleyville. So you visit, get 2 samples, go on a ride, then come back the same way and the shift has changed. In the past, the colony house near Montu also had free samples (now you buy it), so I'd ping pong between them. Oh, but then the beer wants out after riding Montu, good thing there is a bathroom at the exit.
At SWF it's a little bit harder because it's in the back corner. For that one, you would get your samples, go on the sky tower ride, then come back for more. I usually continue the party by buying one at Voyagers or the stand in the Key West area.
