I really missed Busch Gardens in the off season. Finally got my coaster fix yesterday. Went to the park early, but wasn't able to make it through the gates until afternoon. It was totally worth the wait.
Got three dishes from Food and Wine. They were good, but I preferred the cruise food. Not only that, but I felt the dishes I chose last year were better too. The Belgian beer was amazing though. Better than the stuff we normally get at home.
Coasters are running as well as ever. Even Alpengeist toward the back was somewhat smooth.
Met up with old friends and made new ones. Had a friend travel from Illinois to visit. It was one of the best days I've had at the park for a long time.
Welcome back to Busch Gardens! Let the real
#funchallenge begin!
Hung around Aquitaine quite a bit. Rode Griffon 20 times lol. Crowds were amazing. Food and Wine is as good as ever. Can't wait to try out more stuff in the coming weeks.
Didn't see any shows while I was at the park. Plan to during the summer instead.
One last shot!
Rhinefeld clock looked great from the ground. Don't know if they're slowly fixing things or if you can only see it when you're looking up close. Figurines didn't look as faded as they did in previous years plus it was working great! The rest of the park looked great as ever.
I was kinda indifferent on the Banbury makeover. On one hand, the Globe looks eyesore-ish during the day, but I dig the flags, music, and the bus. At night, the Globe looks great though. The lighting and the crowds create a sorta party atmosphere in the area.
- Looking forward to seeing you guys throughout the season through Howl O Scream and Christmas Town.
