While Animal Kingdom is beautiful and has a few cool things like Expedition Everest and Pandora, Busch Gardens blows it out of the water. Yes it’s not as well themed, but it has plenty of great animal attractions as well as a bunch of rides….and some of the best roller coasters on the planet. I’d take Montu, Kumba, and Iron Gwazi over the entirety of Animal Kingdom.
Honestly, even kids who love Disney will like Busch Gardens better. My 7 year old daughter has Disney princesses and Stitch all over her walls. We went to Universal, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Busch Gardens over a week. My daughter didn’t enjoy either of the Disney parks in the same way she enjoyed Busch Gardens and the Universal resort.
For me, it's Busch Gardens Tampa by a long shot. Don't get me wrong though. There's a lot of great things to say about Animal Kingdom with the themed lands and unique rides, but the rides at Busch Gardens are more of my taste, the food is much better, and I think they have more animal exhibits from what I've seen. To be honest, I even prefer SeaWorld Orlando over Animal Kingdom.
Totally agree. I noticed while making the video that really the only similar aspect of Busch Gardens Tampa and Animal Kingdom is the animals and jungle atmosphere. That's why this park showdown was set up differently.

I 100% agree, but not everyone will think that and want crazy attractions.

I've never been a fan of the Disney parks. I even preferred SeaWorld when they pretty much had nothing for my younger self to do.

Busch Gardens Tampa By A Tiny Bit I Love The Coaster Lineup There But Animal Kingdom Is Better In Every Other Category
I understand. Also, BGT wins in admission price for sure.
