Personally if we do go with the assumption that Stanley falls will be replaced and we do save a bit of space, I personally would think an RMC Raptor would be a better fit if we replace scorpion, a raptor can fit a smaller space and doesn't seem as expensive as a vekoma or any other full size coaster, BGT definitely has one of the brightest futures of any theme park out there
1000% they need a new dark ride or water ride. there are enough coasters as it is. is they really want to compete with disney and universal, they absolutely need a ride other than an giant rollercoaster
No hyper coasters they are extremely boring just a bunch of air time hills and bunny hops they need something bigger and faster then iron gwazi giga is the only answer here
Make a video on the top 10 best themepark rollercoaster lineups in the world. If busch gardens tampa added a top tier giga it would easily become the best rollercoaster lineup in a themepark ever imo
I feel like every time I go to BGT the park is empty and feels like constantly operating on a budget with multiple rides just closed. I live about 45 minutes away and have a seaworld + BGT pass and am always let down when I go to BGT. Operations are usually so slow that even if the park is empty youre still waiting forever. It just feels miserable to go to now compared to any other major park in FL.
Well you must never go during the summer/holidays because Gwazi and Cheetah Hunt have 2+ hour waits weekday and weekend. That park sees over 4 million visitors a year and is doing very well.
@BBandCFProductions I was there a week ago bro, on a friday. I posted that the day after I went where falcons fury, skyride, the train were all not operating
We've gotten 1 of the 3 rides I've had rumored since 2022. ✅ A chain lift coaster by Serengeti Flyer ❌ A launched Giga ❌ A launch coaster replacing Kumba.
@@JakeCoasters Which one? If you're talking about the lift coaster, it's Phoenix Rising. I think the back of the park needs to be updated to match the quality of the front.
I agree I think the Log Flume needs to go. I’m surprised it’s still there as Ive always found it so boring & generic with no theming, no tunnel etc just trees. A brand new water attraction similar to splash mountain would be amazing
Busch Gardens Tampa is my home park I even used to work there on Montu. 🤣 As much as I love rollercoasters BG is in desperate need for heavily themed dark ride attraction. I know they probably cost so much but it’s way too hot in Florida to not have one. Loved this video
Wastewater from Busch Gardens sinkhole could end up in Tampa Bay, but experts aren't worried / 10 Tampa Bay ua-cam.com/video/03RKvJl_i9Q/v-deo.html Dude a huge sinkhole opened in the Kumba/Congo pond! Florida will never have a giga, our literal ground can't support it!
interesting vireo, but you cant take Scorpion haha.. its such a classic! I want to see a giga and a MACK extreme spinning coaster, that would give BGT an iconic coaster lineup. Re-track of Kumba and better trains and restraints would work for me. I think Kumba is a really awesome ride with a great layout. Its also nice, it says WAY back, so the line is always short! lol. BGT definitely needs more flat rides though. And would love to see a another fun family coaster like Big Bear Mountain at Dolly wood. I really wish they built that instead of Phoenix rising. Family coasters are always way too short, but big bear Mountain hits all the boxes for a great family coaster. Last but not least would love to see a launch coater like Taron in Phantasialand Germany, the layout and theming of that ride is ridiculous! I dont care about water rides, but that giga water fall looks pretty cool..
Intamin would work better? Let's remember Red Force's history with shutdowns. Formula Rossa has been shut down since January. Intamin is TERRIBLE for reliability. Both their hydraulic launches and LSMs often have tons of issues. It took a long time for both Velocicoaster and Hagrid's to sort out their issues and even now neither comes close to their theoretical capacity due to poor load/unload design by Intamin. I have heard that Universal, United (formerly Sea World), and Cedar Fair/Six Flags are not all that interested in working with them once contracts are finished. In fact, Universal went with Mack for the big coaster at Epic because they do not trust Intamin of late. Intamin tends to blame the parks for problems and never wants to take responsibility for their own bad designs. B&M is FAR more reliable and they have had a much easier time with them for launches of new rides. I have heard the two Intamins last year for BGW and San Diego were pains to manage because of Intamin while B&M has been easy to work with for Phoenix Rising, Pipeline, and Penguin Trek. The rumor was they got a four coaster package between the two parks and Sea World's 2025 project is supposed to be a flying theater at Wild Arctic, so whatever BGT adds next will likely be B&M.
I would love to see a lot more flat rides in the park then roller coasters i just thinking that other rides would be nice because they hardly have any flat rides so add flat rides around the park in different areas it would get more guest in park.
I was literally hoping someone would do a newer version of this video all last week and here it is. I agree with almost everything except the log flume should be highly themed like Chiapas at Phantasialand. Also I cringed at the idea of losing Scorpion until you said Lech coaster. Congo definitely needs love. We all want the Giga. Kumba is my fave so I want to see it get the love it deserves although I do like the idea of a Mack Hyper you lose the B&M Roar sadly. Everything else seems on point. Would be the ultimate theme park with all of these ideas. Can't wait to see the SWO video.
I believe they should get a better log flume or raft ride. Then scorpion should also replaced because it’s getting way too old and there is many newer ride to put in that spot
I will say that Scorpion is running really well for its age. if they wanted to, Premier could come in and work on it...but tbh, it's a classic and I don't mind it staying
I agree Stanley Falls needs to be replaced with a more exciting log flume. Now that Disney has removed Splash Mountain, BGT could build a well themed memorable log flume with modern technology that could fill the Splash Mountain void. All of your ideas for water rides sound great.
Yeah, Kumba really is the million dollar question, isn’t it? I feel like they’ll keep it and have a retrack done similar to Nemesis and Hulk. Additional investment in the back of the park would help to draw more traffic over there. But if they made the decision to replace it instead, I think the Mack hypercoaster would be an excellent choice.
Even though the coaster is smooth, it costs the park a considerable amount of money, they have to repair it almost every week. A couple months ago it was closed for a while because they hade to fix one of the supports. Nothing against B&M or the park, that’s just what happens when a coaster runs in Florida every day of the year. Don’t get me wrong I love Kumba. But as for the ride’s prominence in the park, it is a BGT icon but to the average park goer it’s way in the back and too intense for the kids while almost never having a line over 30-45 minutes. To spend the same money as a new coaster for a ride that the GP doesn’t see as prominent, it would be smarter for the park to use that land for the Giga or put in a new coaster.
Yo The ideas I like but one thing though Busch needs a dark ride but I have this trust/no trust with them Cause the last ones in the company really didn’t do too well and there’s a reason why they haven’t done dark rides since then. Unless someone from the creative team came from Disney before, to go to United. I can’t trust them at all That’s just being honest Dillon
I don't really see the vision behind replacing Kumba with a coaster that has almost the exact same layout. I do think they're going to have to do something with it in some way or another, but I feel like they're more likely to just retrack it than build an all new coaster with a similar layout.
To be honest all the rides you are removing are either outdated or just need replacement scorpion Stanley falls etc all of these rides seen good to replace good video
What do you want to see added to Busch Gardens Tampa?
Did you just go cheetah Hunt a family coaster?
BGT always goes with B@M
Personally if we do go with the assumption that Stanley falls will be replaced and we do save a bit of space, I personally would think an RMC Raptor would be a better fit if we replace scorpion, a raptor can fit a smaller space and doesn't seem as expensive as a vekoma or any other full size coaster, BGT definitely has one of the brightest futures of any theme park out there
GET RID OF COBRAS CURSE!!!!
it’s such a waste of space and i would add a dark ride, like the mummy at universal, but snake theme
1000% they need a new dark ride or water ride. there are enough coasters as it is. is they really want to compete with disney and universal, they absolutely need a ride other than an giant rollercoaster
8:05 this hurts even more since they removed it... poor thing... i miss you scorpion.
Don't disrespect tigris like that 😭😭
Looks like a bit longer wait om that gig. The crains were approved for a kiddie drop ride in jungala
Bro predicted the scorpion downfall this year
No hyper coasters they are extremely boring just a bunch of air time hills and bunny hops they need something bigger and faster then iron gwazi giga is the only answer here
What about a strattle coaster
Please do this with BGW
Will do!
Scorpions already being taken down 😭
Way earlier than I thought lol
Kondaa is actually at walibi Belgium, not walibi Holland
I always mix the two up 😏
I always mix the two up 😏
Giga with a nod to Python would be sick
would love to see if theres a way we can get a cool element on congo like the slide half pipe.
I'm suprised you didn't address a reimagening for Jungala. That place desperately needs an update. More than half of it is already closed.
That was part of the Giga plot
i know a guy that worked in maintenance. this park should have been closed DECADES ago. rides break all the time
I think the giga flash should go where scorpion and log flume is and add the bridge there to connect the pantopia area and sheikra area
Bush gardens please take notes

@thedude4063 agreed, Kumba is not a bad ride, it just has to compete with other areas with more rides.
I feel like a congo river rapids ride does better than a giga floom as a highish capacity ride for non thrill seekers personally
I agree I think the Log Flume needs to go. I’m surprised it’s still there as Ive always found it so boring & generic with no theming, no tunnel etc just trees.
A brand new water attraction similar to splash mountain would be amazing
It's definitely still there as a filler water ride on hot days

How about on 2029 we will get a giga coaster
Idk if I can wait that long haha

I totally agree!
are you still working on the hyper coaster list
Yeah, it's in the pipeline!
We'd be lucky to get even 1/3rd of this
dude, busch gardens tampa is TRAGIC oh my god please help (i am a native and passholder)
My only concern is the B&M giga having a rattle
I think that's all of our concerns atm
A Bam Giga Coaster is Coming to Busch Gardens Tampa in 2026 Opening Day so What You do think about It Jake Coaster 🤔
Hope so

Scorpion is a classic and many people's "first ride", it is still getting a good amount of people too.

They didn't completely remove splash mountain it's the same ride pretty much just new themeing
i have a feeling we will get a giganin 2029 for the 70 year anniversary tbh
I could see that
I like the idea of the intamin hot racer
they seem fun

Kumba is running smooth still I was just there a week ago and it’s a ride they won’t touch
My hope is they keep it

They definitely do not have a great track record with dark ride experiences
I’d love for BGT to have flying theater type ride similar to soarin at Epcot
@@metallicnole4514 lots of people do
But will it be good? And will it not be cheesy and maintained as often as it is?
@@WeTheCoasters That's up to the park to maintain it. As much as I love the coasters at BGT, a dark ride is something sorely missing in the park.
I don't really see the vision behind replacing Kumba with a coaster that has almost the exact same layout. I do think they're going to have to do something with it in some way or another, but I feel like they're more likely to just retrack it than build an all new coaster with a similar layout.
Option 1 is my favorite pick. New trains/restraints, and leave Kumba alone haha
To be honest all the rides you are removing are either outdated or just need replacement scorpion Stanley falls etc all of these rides seen good to replace good video
Thanks, I was looking ahead to the 2030s and such, so they'll definitely be ancient by then for sure
Great video! Love the ideas!
Just clicked in and if giga isn't here i'm going to cry. i'll check back in once i'm done with the video :)
