Busch Gardens or IOA/Universal

[wrpac00]

I would also say IOA, however there is a new ride opening at Busch Gardens next May. It's a tough call but as Kevin said you have not mentioned the Disney parks. Personally I would drop a day at Disney and go to Busch especially if you like rides.

Hi
I would also visit IOA if you haven't been before, brilliant park
Visited Busch Gardens for the first time this year and enjoyed this also. We bought the 5 day flexi ticket

Thanks everyone.

Yes we do have Disney tickets (4 day hopper). It was more a case of should we spend 3 days at IOA/Universal and miss out Busch Gardens, however think we have now decided to get the 2 day ticket to IOA/Universal and spend one day at Busch Gardens - otherwise we will only feel as though we have missed out on something[msnsad]. I think we will be needing anothe holiday when we get back.

When we were there at Easter we managed to do most of IOA in one evening because of it staying open until late. I think you can still buy the 2 day Universal tickets which includes a 3rd day free which you could use the free part just for one evening.

We found IOA the most disappointing park we visited on our trip in 2002. Loved Busch gardens and will be going back for another visit, likewise with universal studios, but IOA, no thanks. Felt it was aimed at the younger age group and we managed to get around it in half a day easily.

I imagine we won't be able to do it in half a day as we are going in June/July so expecting the parks to be busy. Not too bothered about IOA myself as I hate rollercoasters, but 4 out of the 6 in our party love them - they must be mad.

Have now decided on 1 day at each of IOA/Universal (which I love) and Busch Gardens.

Thanks for all the advice[catinhat]

If you are planning to go again soon,save Busch for another occasion otherwise do all.
Also,it depends when you are going;out of peak,you could easily fit all in as there are no queues

We were at Busch gardens yesterday. We walked onto all the rides. I love the place. It cleans and never has queues like the parks in Orlando. (Never been at weekends) The only draw back is the drive from Orlando. Looks like they are putting a further lane in on I4 and it was busy. Took us 1.5 hours to get there.
The park has something for everybody and is a mixture of animal kingdom and IOA.
