All of them at Busch are good! They are all good in their own way mate, don't get hooked up on all the Hype of Sheikra as it isn't all that, the 200 ft drop is good but the rest is a bit lame, Montu, Kuma and Gwazi are my favourites but give tham all a go.

Hi
my families favourite alongside seaworld, they love all the rollercoasters, but they havent done shiekra yet,
its a lovely park to leisurely walk around!!
give us your opinion when you've been!! we wont be going there till sometime next year!!
just go with fun on your mind and you'll enjoy it!!

Busch gardens has a great collection of Roller Coasters and imo Montu is the very best,although i have yet to ride Sheikra.

Great pictures - I have to disagree about Sheikra, absolutely love it and is our favourite. Actually love all the rides

The problem with Sheikra Dawn is that apart from the 200ft drop (Even then it is only about 160ft as the last of it is curving out) the rest of it is like your average theme park rollercoaster.

Montu is the best ride in Busch Gardens and imo is one of the best rides in Florida. Sheikra is not bad but like other have said apart from the first drop there is nothing special about it.

They are all brilliant. The only one I didn't enjoy was the wooden one. It gave me a headache. Sheikra was fab but over much too quickly, about 40 seconds I think. Montu is my favorite.

WENT ON ALL THE ROLLERCOASTERS APART FROM MONTU AND SCORPION AS IT WAS BROKE BUT SHEIKRA AND KUMBA WERE THE BEST OF THE HOLIDAY EVEN THOUGH SHEIKRA WAS OVER QUICKLY! GWAZI WASNT GOOD AS I FELT LIKE I WAS GOING TO GO FLYING OUT THE CART!

Isn't it Busch with the Tidal wave or am I getting confused? I love that one-anything to do with getting wet when it's so hot i suppose

Great pictures!! The only one that doesn't appeal to me is Phoenix as I don't like the "pirate Ship" kind of ride where you are hanging upside down!Give me speed and twists and turns any day. We are going to Busch Gardens in Sept, last time we went was 9 years ago, and there seem to be a few additions since then.

We have been to Busch Gardens a few times in the past year always on a Monday and the queues are very short. Has anybody managed to get on the wooden roller coaster?
It is never open when we have been and wondered if it shuts on a Monday?

We went in feb and you could just walk on everything- gwazi was the first ride we went on.It was great but i did feel all shook up!
Bit of a bone shaker!
Our best ever trip to busch gardens!
It was a monday and it rained most of the day!
