I like your taste here. I don't put them as my top two in the country but I do have them both ranked above every Cedar Fair (yes that includes the two in Ohio) and Six Flags park. I personally put BGW above BGT and I rank Herschend's top two above BGT but they are all in my top 10. I love when a park can really be a well rounded immersive experience that feels like a true escape from the world around you and the Busch Gardens parks do that very well. Plus they all have excellent rides.

All I gotta say is there are so much things to do in Tampa! And it’s much more modern than Williamsburg. In Tampa you can go to armature works it’s like 15 minutes away from BGT. You can go to river walk that’s right next to armature works. There’s the STRAZ center where you can watch plays and lots of shows. There are A TON of places to do eat in Tampa. Also the escape rooms are chefs kiss. There’s the aquarium, also you can go to ice hockey (Lightnings) games or foot ball games (Buccaneers) and not rlly base ball bc that’s a lil further and not rlly in Tampa but not too far (Rays). Williamsburg on the other hand just has a lot of historical places and me personally I don’t thinks that’s too fun. There are fun trails ig but 100% in Tampa there are much more things to do. Maybe not EXACTLY where BGT is but everything fun is like 10 minutes to 30 minutes away from BGT and all in the Tampa area so yeah that should count.

I get that inverts are usually about snap but I really like super-intense coasters that don't let up and Alpengeist takes that cake in EVERY regard.

They're my two favorite theme parks. For a while, I preferred Busch Gardens Williamsburg more, but now I prefer Busch Gardens Tampa because of the animal exhibits, and they have two rides (Cheetah Hunt and Iron Gwazi to be exact) that are better than anything Busch Gardens Williamsburg has. It's still a very close call, though, as Busch Gardens Williamsburg is better with atmosphere and theming, and they still have lots of other great rides like Alpengeist and Griffon, among others. I should also note that I haven't been to Busch Gardens Williamsburg since 2013, so I've got a lot to catch up on after a future visit.

Not to mention all the neighboring areas, like Orlando, which is only an hour away.

For me BGW wins easily but I really love the atmosphere and theming at BGW so that plays a roll. I personally prefer Pantheon to Iron Gwazi though Iron Gwazi is obviously a lot more chaotic ride so if that's what you prefer then it'll be your favorite. But even putting that aside I really value a well rounded park experience over just great coasters so I think BGW would win anyway. And setting wise BGT can't compete with BGW. That said, BGT obviously wins when it comes to animal exhibits. And it is a well themed and good looking park so I'm not knocking it. And the coaster collections are fairly close so it's debatable which is better. And both parks have a lot to do. Also, Celtic Fyre blows away all of the entertainment at BGT.

That said, the wave turn is spectacular. And I do love Iron Gwazi. It is in my top ten but I still rank Pantheon above it.

I experienced both parks about 15-20 years ago. At that time BG Tampa was clearly better. However, after experiencing BG Tampa very recently, it's not the same park it used to be. It feels cheaper and neglected compared to what it once was. It probably has something to do with the change in ownership from Anheuser Busch to whatever company owns it now. It's no longer the fun beer fest it used to be, and I'm not even a beer drinker but that made a difference!

Montu is easily better than Alpengeist, Griffon and Shiekra is a tie, along with Tempesto and Tigris. But where I really think BGT wins is with Kumba and Cheetah Hunt. Both of those rides are great and I believe Kumba is better than Apollo. Also , i like animals more than the European theme of BGW. Both parks are awesome though and I can’t recommend them enough.

I feel like by 2030 if you can afford a pass for a family of 4 to both BGT/SWO and IOA/EU Florida will be a thrill seekers dream world. Also I live an hour west of BGT and the beaches are top notch in Pinellas County. Tampa Bay Rays getting a new Stadium in a few years. Downtown St Pete is growing at a massive rate and has a nice food scene too.
