Busch Gardens Tampa Bay (BGT BGA Discussion Thread)P. 807: Tigris track installation now complete!Users viewing this topic: No registered users and 3 guests Re: Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Discussion ThreadFrom my experience riding Wildcat (@HP) with and without PTC trains, Millenium Flyers may be the best thing to happen to this coaster.
If it does eventually use the Flyers, Gwazi may almost be good as Lightning Racer! Smooth and Re-Rideable! Good to see Busch keeping thier coasters in good shape!

Change the scheme, Alter the mood! Electrify the boys and girls if you would be so kind!
![]() Re: Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Discussion ThreadYou know, I may not post much, but I remember back on the Midwest trip (like 2007); the GCI guys visited and I asked whether or not Gwazi would get Millennium Flyers in the future. They responded "We'll see, we're working on it." So glad this came to fruition! I haven't rode Gwazi since 2006 and it gave me a killer headache afterward. It aged like milk really fast.
But with Millennium Flyers, I hope Gwazi is enjoyable again. Millennium Flyer trains are comfortable compared to the PTC trains and should put less wear and tear on the wood. I need to get back to Busch soon anyways. Haven't been there in forever. Also want to see more come out of the 2011 project rumbling about. -My butt has touched 112 roller coasters, how unfortunate.
Re: Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Discussion ThreadWe can hope that they did make a big enough difference to be worth the investment. Not really sure when they would receive the new trains if they do.
Re: Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Discussion ThreadI rode Kumba, Montu and Sheikra (twice) in the dark back in January (yes, it was only 6pm but it got dark real quick there) and the frozen faces and hands were worth it cos they were all great in the dark. As was the Skyride.
And the cold had chased off about 90% of the other park-goers once the sun had started to set, so zero queueing! Re: Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Discussion ThreadGwazi is getting new trains? What type? And are both sides operating?
Re: Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Discussion Thread^ Maybe.
Its still tentative, but pretty sure they will be used in the near future. Hopefully when they announce the Maverick-ish ride that is rumored, they will also announce new trains. BTW. That news story is quite interesting. It will definitely be in Carl Hiassen's next novel. ![]() I think the woman posted bail. Pocketed the 25k, and headed to Georgia.Time to call in The DOG! ![]() Re: Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Discussion ThreadDoes anybody know where you can find discounted tickets to busch gardens? I'll be going next Tuesday...
Re: Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Discussion ThreadHaha, I doubt Busch is saying anything about the trains. If anything happens, it will just operate like normal, with the new trains. It's not something really announcement worthy. Here's my problem, how come when tiger was in re-hab it didn't get new trains. Both sides are different tracks, so It's not like they can assume if it improves the experience on one it would work magically on the other. They would have to close tiger to test trains. So I'm wondering why they didn't do it during re-hab. Hmmmmmmm, wonder wonder wonder.
Re: Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Discussion ThreadI, too, was wondering that about Tiger... I was really disappointed when I returned to BGT after the Tiger re-track and they were still running the PTC trains... My hopes of MF trains were pretty much shattered... the ride did run seemingly a bit smoother (but it was a REALLY cold day, which probably helped...) but still wished it was a Millenium Flyer... And now with the testing of the MF train on the Lion side, if all goes (fingers crossed tightly) well, will Tiger infact have to shut down all over again?... I'm all for it, but seems a bit backwards to me... either way, I'm drooling over the possibility...
