What is Sea world/ BG like if you don't buy quick queue?

Are the lines totally unreasonable? Thinking maybe next year Sept.

Hi,

I was there in early October ( mid week) and did not buy a quick queue and rode on the rides with minimal wait. ( Manta did have a 20-30 min wait at times but I did not do those). Wild Arctic queues built to 30-40mins in the afternoon ( and would be busier just after a shamu show ) but I went later ( and then early next morning) and got straight on.

I also did Journey to Atlantis 3 times in a row abut 5-15pm with minimal queuing ( walking from the exit back into the entry line and walked right to the loading area)

Regards

TBS

We were fine without it in August. I would think September would be fine.

ETA This was at SW.

In September you'll be fine without quick queue, especially at Busch Gardens, you might wait a maximum of 20 minutes for a roller coaster. September is a good time to go!

At Busch Gardens the only time I usually experience very long lines like an hour or more is during big peak times like a weekend in the summer or during holidays.The rest of the time you'll likely see 10-30 minute waits.At Sea World I find Wild Arctic and especially Journey to Atlantis many times have longer waits than the coasters.Manta being new usually has a pretty long wait at times,especially in the morning since it's near the front of the park.Kraken on the other hand is my favorite coaster in the park and unless Sea World is doing something silly like running only one train it rarely has a wait more than 20 minutes,only during peak times.

We went to Sea World in Sept and it was very quiet, so can't imagine you'd have too much trouble .

What should we expect at Busch Gardens the Wednesday before Thanksgiving?

I'm bargaining it will be quieter than the Orlando parks. We love BG - on our last visit, it was our favorite day. Thanks!

It won't be too terrible, but the local kids will have school off that day, and the majority of us flock to places like Busch Gardens.
