It's unfortantely apparent that the Busch parks are hurting financially. In another thread I tried denying this, but after a little research, the truth came out. I can only blame this on upper management. SeaWorld Orlando and Busch Gardens Tampa are consistantly underrated. To the average tourist, they may not be on the same level as Disney or Universal, but they're not THAT far off. Both parks have made huge strides improving their themeing with every latest addition. And while BGT has been criticized for not being family-friendly enough, I believe that's not entirely true. While they'll always be known for the great selection of thrill rides(the greatest in Florida), they've attempted adding more kid-friendly atttactions: Jungala, Safari of Fun, Walkabout Way, Madagascar. And that's how I feel they should be marketed: :"The Greatest Selection of Coasters and Thrill Rides in Florida", tied in with the animal exhibits and kid-friendly stuff. It's a shame Antartica's ride was kind of disapointing. SeaWorld needed that. While Kraken and Manta are obviously the best coasters in Florida, you don't want to advertise SWO as a thrill park in family-friendly Orlando. Perhaps SeaWorld should stick with what they do best: awesome animal exhibits. Add in a flat ride or coaster every few years to feed Orlando's ride-based mentality, and you're good to go. As someone who loves both parks, I hope they can recover from their financial woes and can continue building amazing attractions, shows, and animal encounters for years to come.
