Obscurerider Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Me and my family are going on a road trip to South Carolina and we could stop at one theme park along the way. We narrowed the choices down to Busch Gardens in Williamsburg or Six flags:America in Maryland. I don't know which to choose or if I should get a fast pass at either one. I decided to ask help from the only good theme park community I know.Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Family = Busch Gardens Plus now they have a pretty good coaster selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coaster05 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 SFA is an ok park, but BGE is absolutely amazing. This isn't even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obscurerider Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 Thanks and Xtremecoaster this is a family vacation not a theme park vacation so were not going to South Carolina because of the theme parks it has. Thanks for the advice Busch Gardens it is. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterP Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 I would take neither park OVER America. If you choose a theme park over our entire country, then your priorities are whacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obscurerider Posted August 26, 2007 Author Share Posted August 26, 2007 Also I'm not going to waste space for a new topic but could some one know the new jersy transit number. I'm trying to take a bus from New York to Six Flags Great Escape in Jackson NJ. The transit site is frigging impossible to navigate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankees15 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Do you mean Six Flags Great Adventure? Because The Great Escape is in New York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obscurerider Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 Yeah I mean Great Adventure not Great Escape. I always confuse those two sorry . Great Adventure is actually closer to where I live than Great Escape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Thriller Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 South Carolina?These two parks lies in Virginia!The only main park in South Carolina is Hard Rock Park,and it`s not open yet! - That is not true. As the entrace to the park may be in North Carolina, Paramounts Carowinds is also in South Carolina. But, your right, you have to go through North Carolina. (P.S. For more info on Hard Rock Park, check RCDB.com, they have it all.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What Now Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I'd also pick Busch Gardens Williamsburg over Six Flags America. The family would be much happier there and the coasters there are nothing to sneeze at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixflagsguy5 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 That would be a tough decision for me. I was at both parks for the first time about a month ago and they were both awesome. Six Flags America wasn't the best for a family atmosphere, but they had some good coasters. Superman- Ride of Steel was awesome and had tons of airtime (top 10 steel coaster in my opinion). Busch Gardens had a ton of stuff for the family to do, but the coasters weren't as good as I was expecting. I was very disappointed with Apollo's Chariot. Big Bad Wolf was about the same as I expected, along with Alpengiest. Loch Ness Monster and Griffon were both better than I had guessed. It was very very hot when we went (105 degrees at Six Flags America) so be prepared for that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasterlvr_nc Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I would vote for BGE any day! as long as they dont have anyone sticking screwdrivers in the restraints No but seriously BGE is a little of everything that adds up to be a great park for any family, including great scenery, theming, and shows for those not as interested in roller coasters. I highly reccomend BGE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
