Hilltopper39 Posted August 11, 2020 Posted August 11, 2020 I mean sounds like kind of an interesting event, I'd be interested in checking it out depending on crowd levels and all, assuming the'll still be limiting capacity to some extent. Night rides on all the coasters with some fog and fun atmosphere is enough for me.
VaCoasters Posted August 11, 2020 Posted August 11, 2020 Anyone able to see the prices for members? I logged in but it's still showing me the regular price.
bgtlover Posted August 11, 2020 Posted August 11, 2020 Anyone able to see the prices for members? I logged in but it's still showing me the regular price. Yes, I can see the prices. They start at $24.99 (and go up based on date). Try using another device or browser to log in. Also, if you're using your email/password, try using the pass barcode/zip code method instead. That seems to work for some that try to get their discount online when making purchases.
KarlaKoaster Posted August 12, 2020 Posted August 12, 2020 Before the year is up??? It will be soft opened within the next few weeks. Iron Gwazi, other upcoming SeaWorld parks roller coasters delayed to 2021

Iron Gwazi, other upcoming SeaWorld parks roller coasters delayed to 2021 Yep, i'll take the L on that one. I thought since BGT is a year round park and it was already testing before the virus it was sure to open soon. What do i know
cfc Posted August 12, 2020 Posted August 12, 2020 I don't know what to expect here. It's basically a Halloween party I guess but it's stupid, stupid cheap. I love it in theory but I'm interested to see what type of crowd it attracts. That's one of the reasons that I avoid Six Flags Fright Fest events and Busch Gardens seems to be taking the "Give away the gate and get everyone drunk" model to a level that even Six Flags hasn't tried yet. I agree with this--pretty much a party (with very expensive alcohol).
pianojohn Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 I hope for the best, but after visiting this park a few weeks ago and seeing the majority of people not wearing masks, I have my concerns. Not to mention it will be at night and there will be no way for team members to enforce the mask policy. Again...hoping for the best, but people have shown how selfish and stupid they can be and continue to be.
A.J. Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 I hope for the best, but after visiting this park a few weeks ago and seeing the majority of people not wearing masks, I have my concerns. Ugh, they're still doing this after all this time? I thought they'd be better by now.
bgtlover Posted August 14, 2020 Posted August 14, 2020 I know a lot of platinum pass members are not happy about not getting their usually free first weekend.
dlasflyer Posted August 14, 2020 Posted August 14, 2020 Does anyone know when or if the Skyride will open again? I don’t think it has operated since the park reopened.
bgtlover Posted August 16, 2020 Posted August 16, 2020 ^It will likely reopen once the pandemic is under control (to where sanitizing rides and social distancing isn't a big deal), they can up the allowed capacity in the parks to make it worthwhile, more people actually come to the park (that aren't pass members who they generally don't really profit from, and can afford to pay the extra staff required to run it. Unless I'm mistaken, it requires more employees to operate than any other attraction in the park. I know other parks have opened theirs, but not all parks choose to operate the same. It's common for BGT, in particular, to cut attractions like this during slow periods anyway (from my experience). Not directly related, but this is usually the time of year it goes down for its annual maintenance, as it doesn't operate during HOS, at least not in recent years. I don't see Stanley Falls opening any time soon for the same reasons, plus their queue is so tight, they'd have to pull a Disney and put up plexiglass in the queue to help separation. Also, i wouldn't be surprised if more attractions temporarily closed after Labor Day, at least on the weekdays.
pianojohn Posted August 16, 2020 Posted August 16, 2020 If they need any help in selling out Howl-O-Scream, just add Iron Gwazi as only available during the event nights. I know tons of people who would gladly pay $24 for a chance to ride it!
robbalvey Posted October 15, 2020 Author Posted October 15, 2020 Best part of Busch Gardens Tampa's Howl-O-Scream? Getting to ride all the coasters at night!!! 5
RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 That's a gorgeous photo! I can't wait to see your guys' TR of the event!
pianojohn Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 From Busch Gardens twitter feed The POV of Iron Gwazi: The people have spoken. It’s coming................. soon.
coasternut Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 ^ What does your statement mean John?? I'm flying to Tampa tomorrow to spend some time there. I'd be good with "technical rehearsals." I've done that before at this park and Magic Mountain too. Please advise - thanks.
coasterbill Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 It means that you can look forward to a fun-filled day riding Kumba, Montu, Cheetah Hunt and Sheikra and while you're in line for one of those you might be able to watch an Iron Gwazi POV on your phone. 3 3

KBrylczyk Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 In my defense I've not been to BGT since 1994. I wasn't tall enough to ride anything noteworthy, haha.
boldikus Posted November 12, 2020 Posted November 12, 2020 edit: can we still embed FB videos like we used to be able to? I can't figure it out. https://www.facebook.com/BuschGardensTampaBay/videos/3551548144928616/
Jew Posted November 12, 2020 Posted November 12, 2020 That’s a whole new level of unnecessary marketing. Unless they’re still dealing with their payment issues with RMC, might as well just open the ride...
