Re: Busch Gardens Tampa | Drop Tower
^Yeah, I actually just checked and last year BGT had over 4.3 million visitors compared to MM's 2.8 million. I guess if you spread the number out over the whole year though, and factor in that the summer must get horrendously busy, it makes sense to see the park very quiet outside of peak times.
As far as drop tower capacity goes, the gyro drops, at 40 people per cycle, are pretty good at eating through queues. I don't think I've actually ever waited more than 10 minutes to ride one of those, even on extremely busy days. I think it's probably a combination of a decent throughput and a huge intimidation factor that keeps a lot of people away in the first place though.
