The Rides at Busch Gardens Florida are Absolutely Incredible.

The roller coasters at Busch Gardens Florida are world renowned. The coasters are all themed and very different. I think that children should be at least seven before attempting even the mildest on the list.

Stanley Falls is Busch Gardens Florida’s log flume ride. You will get very wet. Great ride. Seldom a line as it is not as terrifying as some of the other rides. Riders as young as 2 can ride this with a responsible adult.

Congo river rapids is riding the rapids in a 8 person rubber tube. You will get wet so save this for early afternoon when you are really hot and everyone else is at lunch. The height requirement is 42” . This ride is never the same twice. As you spin through river you can not always see what is coming up next.

Cheetah chase is a great as a first coaster ride. It goes up five stories and is not at all scary. Riders must be at least 6 years old and 46” tall. This is a cute and fun family ride. Each car accommodating 4 riders.

Gwazi is a real wooden double coaster with speeds of 100 miles per hour. Riders must be at least 48” tall. This coaster has won several awards with  a record six fly bys. This one is a middle of the road coaster probably best suited for the average 10 year old.

Kumba has 7 inversions and is consistently voted one of the countries best coasters. Minimum height for this ride is 54”. This is a medium range coaster. It is a smooth ride.

Montu is one of the longest and tallest, a real flagship for Busch Gardens Florida. This is the coaster with out a bottom. Your legs dangle freely as you are strapped in at the shoulders. Height requirement for this ride is 54”. This one will really get your adrenaline going. Not only are you being wizzed through the air with 3.85 Gs you have the added feeling of falling with nothing below you.

Scorpion 50 miles per hour in a 360 degree vertical loop. This ride has a height requirement of 42”. This ride goes completely upside down. There are only 3 coaster of this kind in the world. Busch gardens doesn’t offer any appropriate age but I would say around 8. This is not the scariest coaster in the park but it has a 360 degree loop so it is not for anyone with a weak stomach. This is one of the oldest coasters in the park so there is seldom a line.

Sheikra you travel 200 feet up in the air before a four second pause before a 90 degree drop straight down. This ride is absolutely terrifying. My husband threw up after riding it. Teenagers will love it! After our neighbors kids went, It was all they talked about for the rest of the summer.

Tangyanika Tidal Wave 55 foot drop to the waters below. Minimum Height requirement is 48”. This one is the next step up from Stanley falls. Everyone gets really wet on this ride.
