“Besides Falcon’s Fury, the only large-scale flat rides at BGT are the two water rides.” *sad serengeti flyer noises*

As a BGW rep (it's my local park) I have some words about Alpengeist. The whole point of Alpengeist is melt-you-to-your-seat intensity and that's why it's my favorite ride in the park (yes, even more so than Pantheon). 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.

These are two of my absolute favorite parks in the nation, definitely both top 5. I didn’t get on Pantheon or Griffon at BGW but the beauty surpasses BGT and overall it’s nearly a tie. Bias has me choose Tampa but a revisit could change that.

Which alpengeist did you ride? Because the one I ride has a cobra roll that tries to destroy you

U didn't ride iron gwazi, you said tampa has nothing to do there (very hot take), and you called tampa a swamp.... you clearly need to revisit

Things to do in Tampa Bay when you don’t hermit in your hotel, thinking it’s a swamp based off of an idea you pulled out of your butt. The Beaches, Historic Ybor City, Clearwater Aquarium, annual 2 week long pirate festival called Gasparilla. Dolphin cruises, Cuban cigar makers in Ybor. Fishing is a religion here.

no competition it’s BGT.

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.

You know it’s gonna be a good day when coastoons uploads

“There’s no snappy elements on alpengeist” That one snappy turn into the mid-course on alpengeist 💀💀

The city of Tampa has the City Pass where for $200 you get admission for the Tampa Zoo, BGT, Florida Aquarium, Tampa Museum, and a choice of 2 of 4 more attractions in the area.

Love the vids man, keep it up!

I only have rode two inverts and I can confidently say Great Bear

all your videos are bangers I can watch them multiple times over and not get bored

“There’s no snappy elements to Alpengeist” I can still feel my head rattling against the restraints on that corkscrew of death…

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.

Whoa, that's wild. I went to the same two parks at the same time as you! BGT in 2021 and BGW just a few weeks ago! 🤯

Fun video! I feel very lucky that BGW is my home park and only an hour drive. (Although the drive home is usually longer because of pesky HRBT) I've never been to BGT but I'm hoping I can soon.

Technically Kumba did have a counterpart over in BGW. The thing is... that counterpart was Drachenfire

When BGW gets an S&S hyper or an RMC itll be better, but when BGT gets the intamin blitz, it’ll be pretty close again.

I went to BGW around a month ago and got two morning rides on Pantheon and they were really slow. At night though, it is hauling. The difference is day and night (see what I did there).

Tampa has evolved so much now and we also have Serengeti Flyer and we're getting Phoenix Rising here soon!

Been going to Williamsburg since 1980 and love it . Would go more often if the 3.5 hour long drive from Maryland wasn't always 4bplus hours long .

Anyone who say first is cringe ngl☠️ Edit:omg the amount of likes I'm getting is insane thank you

Hello coastoons! I love your videos and I haven't been to BGW but I think I would prefere BGT anyway, great video! 😊😊

BGT has serenghetti flyer now which is finnegans flyer but taller

Watched for the comparison, stayed for the food review.

Another banger from the most underrated KZfaqr ever 🔥

Primordial at Lagoon just opened 💀

How is alpengeist NOT snappy, that cobra roll and mcbr transition are far more snappy than anything on montu, get your facts right lmao

Actually good video idea no way no way

My favorite one (so far) is BGT…since that’s the only BG I’ve been, but it’s my number one favorite Theme Park as of typing this. 😅

dude. alpengeist at bgw in the back is aggressive af, the cobra roll tries to violently rip your legs off

i honestly feel so lucky to have bgw as my home park, i love it so much (my home park is technically supposed to be sfa but idc lol, bgw has been considered my second home for over a decade now, it's got a special place in my heart)

Bro best timing I’m going to Tampa soon let’s go

Personally, BGW has the better atmosphere, during the fall when it gets chilly and all of that it just has more of a better vibe. W video tho

It’s funny how opinions can differ so much lol. I love Alpengeist, though I think Montu is the better ride from what I hear, Alpengeist is still my favorite invert I’ve been on…but I’ve ridden Kumba, and that it was meh, and definitely would take Alpengeist over it. Apollos chariot is also my first hyper I’ve ever ridden, but it doesn’t compare to Nitro, Mako, and Candymonium (the other B&M hypers I’ve ridden). Cheetah Hunt was fun, but Pantheon looks like the better ride. My plan is to hit both these parks in 2024, excited to ride Montu and Pantheon finally.

Bro DEVOURED that funnel cake 💀 and you can tell he was scooping after it was finished 😭😭

I’m someone who lives in the piedmont region of VA (next to the area of where BGW is. BUT I went to the place where the tallest roller coaster of VA is (kings dominion) and I kinda really want to go to BGW more then BGT (probably I leave near it 💀) but griffin is my most anticipated ride ever

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.

Honestly Pantheon almost felt the same in the morning as it did later in the day. I loved it both times but I didn’t really feel much improvement throughout the day

Alpengiest cobra roll id super snappy

have you been to any theme parks outside the us? if so which is your favorite

2:15 that transition was fire

Can u do a video abt lake compunce ct

Serengeti flyer and Iron gwazi put Tampa ahead alone

I recommend going to both BGW and BGT. They're both amazing and unique in their own ways.

I know it wouldnt have changed the outcome but BGT does have an S&S scream and swing now so theres q little more to do thank just falcons fury for flat rides.

BGT is my #1 park. Never been to BGW but I’m going next month! So excited!

Bgt has the better ride lineup which i usually value most but bgt is run like crap I went during winter and all the ops were trash, consistent 3+ minute dispatches on gwazi with a 2 hour wait is not fun. I never really had a problem at bgw and in my opinion the atmosphere is a lot cooler there, so I’d give It to bgw.

You should make an updated list since Tampa added the Serengeti flyers and the new Phoenix Rising. While Williamsburg got the new DarKoaster. Also, what do you mean there is nothing in Tampa it is not a swamp there is a whole city down there with St. Pete there is the Florida aquarium and the MLB, NHL, and NFL teams. Don’t forget to mention zoo Tampa, the nearby beaches, I’ve been to Williamsburg, and when I was there the only thing that was fun was the thing that was mentioned. Next time mention the animal selections as well at the parks.

You should do a video on the three big six flags parks

Nice funnel cake ending

Did you just say Silver Dollar city and Dollywood are close to each other?

Tampa has the beaches across the bridge and a lot to offer

I adore cheetah hunt and I'm so glad you enjoy it too

tampa chain

6:50 Busch gardens tampa has Serengeti flyer and a log flume to?

Iron Guazi Alone Makes It Better

What up coastoons

I Love both ❤

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!

I feel like verboten vs Chettah hunt would be a better comparison but nice vid

You should do a comparison of cedar point and kings island

Revisit BGT in 2025 we should have a Giga by then also make it a 1-2 Punch and add a day at SWO too. Might as well splurge and visit the new Epic Universe a few months after it opens too. 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. Should have High Speed Rail by 2030 connecting Tampa to Orlando and even down to Miami so it will be easier for tourist to get around. There is a lot to do here trust me. BTW The Everglades, Gainesville and Jacksonville are swamp areas not Tampa.

Bro what I used to agree with what u said, but KUMBA!!! Bro that is a monster way better of a ride then Apollo I'm sorry ain't no way.. lol 😂

I prefer BGT. I believe their roller coaster lineup is better than BGW. They both have an elite roller coaster (Iron Gwazi vs Pantheon) and I prefer Iron Gwazi. 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.

Why does cedar fair not want to work with intamin?

Busch Gardens Williamsburg is always gonna be my favorite park but I’ll never complain about Busch Gardens Tampa at all.

You should’ve compared Iron Gwazi to Pantheon and then Verbolten and Cheetah Hunt. Much more accurate based on the experience those rides give.

I hate to say it but the atmosphere at BGT is really trashy now. It’s my home park and when I when to BGW I was mind blown by how nice it is compared to BGT. BGT is dirty and ran poorly, like I hate to say it since BGT is my home park but BGW stomps in atmosphere since it has better everything except animals.

You know busch gardens tampa als has Serengeti Flyer right?

I have to respectfully disagree. I've been to both parks many times, and I always have a better time in Tampa. There's not a lot of difference in the coasters, they are all good. Just grading the parks, Tampa is better. There is also a lot to do in Tampa. Busch Gardens is not the only fun in town. There is literally a million ways to have fun in Tampa. Not to mention all the neighboring areas, like Orlando, which is only an hour away.

I have to ask what IS the best theme park in the world in your opinion?

"Cookie Color" 5:17

I haven’t even watched the video yet but I already going to say no change lol it has to be BGT

sheikra vs gtriffon?

theming + coaster collection: BGT. Now crappy park with good coasters: BGW.

What do you mean there's nothing to do in Tampa Orlando's an hour away Plus You have all the different activities in downtown

Darkoaster *

Wait, no way, did you use my footage of Kumba?

You should do sf great America and sf great adventure

Gwazi in itself makes the park > BGW 😭

Williamsburg also has water country

I cannot believe this is not satire

What about Serengeti Flyer

Montu hasn’t been running the best the past year or so. It used to be so much better when they basically never turned the mid course brakes on and the trim brake before the batwing

Dude if you dont know anything about Tampa and the area, dont just guess. Do research. The Tampa area is awesome. Tampa has some really cool areas of the city and St Pete on the other side of the bay is great.

6:48 Not to be THAT guy, but BGT has Serengeti flyer.

What is it with all these people that are doing these reviews of Busch Gardens not telling you what the coaster at the beginning of the video which park it is in like instead of saying Superman at Darien Lake or Superman at Magic Mountain so you know right up front, I’ve noticed the gardens all of them do it where you don’t even know and they just expect you to know the name of the roller coaster

Tampa has a train and a Screamin Swing too, big sad

bro I went there a few weeks ago...

Why not Cheeta Hunt vs Verbolten.....

No multi launch Darkoaster

BGW is like my favorite park ever

TAMPA IS A SWAMP?? said by only u 😂

great america in illinois vs california

Ok ok um busch gardens has a river rapids and a log flumes as the water rides and you dident count it? Even you gave a point to williamsburg with water rides. weird.

Pleaseeeee do a great adventure ultimate review
