    When is the best time to ride Iron Gwazi?!? ... Anytime, duh!

  • @jsawhite
    @jsawhite Рік тому +8

    BGT is our home park, so we go frequently. 2 things.
    Frequently, when we go, Iron Gwazi does not open at the same time as the park. It's typically 20~30 minutes (or more) before they let riders into the line to ride. So you may not wait long in the queue, but you still wait. the line frequently gets back to the entrance stores before they open the ride (i.e. build-a-bear store).
    Second. They recently changed the Serengeti Flyer ride. They send it at 2 different levels. Before 1:30p, it's the tamer version that doesn't go as high and as fast. After 1:30p, it's full speed/height. Just keep that in mind depending on how much of a thrill seeker you are.

    Good Video, my only suggestion, especially for those with kids, to not stay anywhere near the park.. the area surrounding the park, is not safe at night. We always stay in Brandon, which is about 3 exits south of the park (15-20 minute drive, but worth it). Super nice area with lots of restaurants to eat at.

  • @mitchellries256
    @mitchellries256 Рік тому +4

    I actually suggest you make Cheetah Hunt your first ride of the day. When I went to the park in September of 2022, Cheetah Hunt had a wait time of 45 minutes to an hour or more while the longest wait time I saw for Iron Gwazi was only 30 minutes. I then suggest Cobra's Curse since it had a 35 minute wait and then Month since it's right next to it. What you do afterwards is up to you.

    thanks for sharing!
    1) I dont go to Iron Gwazi at opening, I do the Cheetah Hunt, and Cobras Curse area then back to the Shekira area, loop back to Iron Gwazi mid day.
    2) Adventure Island for me was overrated in 2021, not special, seems like an average water park. SFNE water park seemed the same to me.
    3) As I live in the NE, I can get the sea world platinum pass at the park of my choice. I go with San Antonio as its way cheaper as I don't care about the park perks but want admission and preferred parking.
    4) Ill be visiting end of this month during the week, hope its very slow

    We were there the last week of March this year and it was amazing, the map in the app is absolutely worthless just use the ones posted around the park. Use the link in the app to book your stay and get length of stay passes and parking for everyone in your room for less than you would pay for the room and we were at the Holiday Inn Express just down from the park. Instead of paying the high prices for food inside the park pack a cooler and some foldable chairs and go out to car for lunch and catch your breath.

    I made my long-awaited (17 years) return to BGT a few days ago (a Wednesday). Unfortunately for me, the park closed at 6pm so no Gwazi night rides for me 😐
    I did get several night rides on VelociCoaster Tuesday and Thursday so that helped ease the pain.

    Try to ride Iron Gwazi in the 2nd half of the day as it makes a big difference after it warms up. Definitely a back row ride.
    Cheetah hunt, on the other hand, is best in the front row. Personally, I think it’s the 2nd best ride in the park, but that’s not a popular opinion. It’s kind of like the millennium force of blitz coasters. It’s very fast but not exactly fast-paced if that makes sense. It has a couple excellent airtime moments that actually make your stomach drop and the launches are all pretty good. Other than that it meanders quite a bit, but it’s a long ride. The views and the theme are really cool though. You actually travel through the animal habitats of a cheetah’s prey including Thompson’s gazelles, and you can see them as you’re flying by.

    • @metallicnole4514
      @metallicnole4514 6 місяців тому +2

      Cheetah hunt is a great ride for something smooth and fun. It is my second favorite ride as well after iron gwazi. Coaster enthusiasts hate on it because it's not too intense. But it does have some thrilling moments that make it worthwhile. I vehemently disagree with those that call it a family coaster. It's not. In fact, I lose some respect for those that call it that because they come off as elitist with a myopic view on coasters.

    Thank you so much for making all of these park visit guides. I have so many I want to plan to go to (including BGT) and this helps a lot. Now the only other information I need is where to get a rental car and affordable hotels in the BGT area. Since I would be flying there I need to research airports closest to the park to land at. I have never been to any Florida park and I can’t wait to go!!
    ….Well, I guess that’s a lie because my grandma took me to Disney World when I was three yrs old!!! Of course I don’t remember it though lol
    I wonder if VRBO has any of that info. Never used it before. You have any ideas please let me know 🎢🙌💙
