PKD and Busch Gardens

[PKDFreak]

There both awsome parks, but I have to geive it to BGW! Its all around a better park. More scenery, AWSOME rides, and its just nice. Pkd has Volcano though!

When I went last year, I was thinking I would have to make a choice between these parks. I am immensly glad that I got to do both.

 

I would recommend, if at all possible, that anyone visiting the area do the same. Just because BGE is utterly fantastic, doesn't make PKD any less fun.

 

But yeah, do PKD first.

On the other hand, I didn't find it the "most beautiful" park I've been to. Nice setting and vegetation, but I found a lot of the buildings to be kinda clunky, like a second-rate EPCOT. (just kidding).

 

I strongly disagree. I found Epcot to be outdated with a lot of their rides, boring and downright dirty. I couldn't believe that I saw a 3 foot pile of garbage sitting in the corner, while on line for a ride.

I would agree with most of the other members comments listed above. I would be more biased and say BGE since I've worked there for over 14+yrs. But, I do like PKD for their variety of flat rides and coaster selection. Best bet would be...Hey? visit BOTH parks and judge for yourself. It mostly depends on your personality/preferences what you look for most at a park.

BGE offers good food/rides/shows/scenery-landscape.

PKD-more coaster selections and flat rides.

Another suggestion is to search links for some good deals in getting discount tickets to BOTH parks (even FREEEEEEEE PARKING!). Nowadays, parks are just making a profit in charging $8-15 just to PARK your vehicle now....I could get a mini-detail and wash for that much! My bet would be find a hotel that offers a shuttle service to the park...those are going to be the next trend since parks are gouging our pockets before we even enter the parks (doesnt that leave a bad taste in your mouth?) Good luck in your adventures

Um, I was talking about the architecture. And I should have specified "World Showcase," which certainly outdoes BGE for top-quality ersatz and faux: Busch's "France," Italy," and "Germany" can't hold a candle.

^No argument from me there. Epcot's World Showcase is more of a "cultural" attraction than a theme park.

^^Fair enough. My bad, I miss understood you.

Never been to BGE, but I can say without a doubt that PKD is way better... Anyone who thinks otherwise must be sick in the head

There really is no contest, BGE wins because the detail work is stunning, and only Disney and maybe Universal can top it.
