What are the best rides at Busch Gardens? Also, besides the rides, what else do you like there? What don't you like?

Which is better, Busch Gardens or Water Country USA?

I have not been in many years since I moved out of State, but they are both great!
Busch Gardens is bigger and it is great, tons of rides that are really cool.

Water Country is really cool too, but just water rides, and it is a water park.

Have fun!

Busch Gardens is better. You can get wet on things like Roman Rapids, Escape from Pompeii and the Log Flume, or you can choose not to get wet and just do rides.

Personally I like the Curse of DarKastle, Apollo's, the Skyride, and... well, I guess those are my top three LOL!

I need to get back up there and ride Verbolten. Last time I was there Griffin had just opened but I wasn't really a fan.

I haven't been to Water Country USA in over 10 years but I plan on going this season. I've been to Busch Gardens a good amount of times and I just get tired of waiting in line for a 1.5 minute ride. I know you have to wait in line for water rides at Water Country USA but the difference is it can get so hot at Busch Gardens and at least at Water Country you get to get cooled off.

I like Busch Gardens for the scenery, but for the rides I'd probably like Water Country better. I'm a sucker for water rides. This may sound funny but I like water parks on rainy days. They never have lines on rainy days, and so what if it's rainy--you're gonna get wet anyway, right?

No matter how much sunscreen I wear I always burn at WC, so I'd say Bush Gardens. Plus Ocean Breeze is close to my house, and less money.
