Florida 2012: Completed

Re: Florida 2012: Day 4 Busch Gardens

Day Four Busch Gardens

I was really excited about returning to my favourite park and it did not disapoint me! This is the part of the report that features a naked B&M so keep reading!



I had a quick queue so there was no rush to do anything, I needed the Gwazi Lion cred so went straight over there, it had just restarted after a brief tech problem so I got at the front! My last experience of Gwazi was terrible but this time I really enjoyed it.





Then it was time for my favourite drive coaster Sheikra!







I love Sheikra


Next up was Stanley Falls, a good log flume.

This is the B&M coaster that will be getting naked soon, going over the Immelman.


Had a rollercoaster tour booked, behind the scenes of Montu! This is how I got the quick queues.
Inside the work shop


A model of the wheels on the track


Got to hold some wheel! They were heavier than I thought they would be.






Explaining something out the wheels can't remember what.


How the restraints lock in


Oh look the shed where the trains are kept is empty


Or is it.........



Naked Montu! (You can thank me later :wink: )

Wheels!


More bits of Montu:



Wheel covers

Now enjoy more pictures of my favourite coaster!










Me on Montu!

After all that is was time for another cred Scorpion




Then another cred Sand Serpent




Then it was Rhino Rally time


Time for another cred and a coaster had I had been looking forward to riding for a long time (a year)




A stupid tree jumped out and ruined my photo







A Cheetah



A Queue


Ah my number 3 coaster Kumba!





Kiddie Cred!

Re: Florida 2012: Day 4 Busch Gardens

Nice report. I am a huge montu fan too, it is not my favourite coaster but it's in my top 5 and is my favourite B&M Invert. BGT is probably my third favourite park for coasters after SFMM and Phantasialand with all it's top 4 coasters (Montu, Sheikra, Cheetah Hunt and Kumba) all being in my top 50. I am curious to know how you found Kumba, don't get me wrong it's a really good coaster, but I did think on my last visit it was quite rough.

I have never found a B&M rough, I love Kumba I find it smooth, fast and loud. It has a brilliant layout. Glad you liked the report, there's more to come!

I've just looked up your little behind the scenes thingy, $20 each is a bargin, especially with the quick queue pass!

Re: Florida 2012: Day 4 Busch Gardens

I browsed the pictures first and didn't read the captions and thought, "When did they start selling ammo at WDW?"

Re: Florida 2012: Day 6 Sea World

Day 6 Sea World

Day 6 started with a bit of Manta






We had booked a behind the scenes tour. It started by looking round the animal rescue centre and at some injured animals, then we took a bus to a shark place passing this beast on the way!






I touched a shark!
We then drove to the polar bear bit and went round the back to see some penguins!




I touched a shark and a penguin and I'm allowed back into Sea World!
It was then time for the show called One Ocean or soemthing
a few pictures






My sister wanted to go on Wild Artic so I had to go with her, and it was just as rough as I remembered it :(




The polar bear was alseep.
Then an incoming storm closed everything my family were in a show and I was bored :(






I just took random pictures, coming 2013 looks like there will be a drop.
Then the rides reopened although the sky was black!


Then Kraken had a problem with one it's trains so I got to watch this!












night night






Was then time for sea lions tonight! Funniest show ever


My tea these are dam tasty
Legend!


Ride Count
Wild Artic
Manta
Kraken 3,1 front
 
Re: Florida 2012: Day 6 Sea World

Nice pics and report, takes me back to my Florida visit last year :)
 
Re: Florida 2012: Day 6 Sea World

I had the best time :) so many great parks and coasters - especially Montu! Even the water parks were a million times better than in the U.K. - it's all about Disco H20!

Awesome! Only got to one water park, Yes Montu! My favourite coaster.
 
Re: Florida 2012: Day 6 Sea World

You refer to Kraken as a beast? I hope that's in reference to the mythological creature in which the ride is 'themed' as opposed to the ride itself ;)

It's a reference to both :--D
 
Re: Florida 2012: Day 6 Sea World

Is the ride themed? Oh you mean that little cave area.

Just like the rest of the park, a complete let down.

At least I will save money next time by not going :)
