Busch Gardens in Tampa Bay, FL is the Sunshine State’s best theme park for thrill seekers. With eight roller coasters including the state’s only 200-foot dive coaster, SheiKra, there’s no better place to get a rush of adrenaline than Busch Gardens.
Of course, if you’re looking for something on the mild side, there are rides that appeal to all ages as well as a safari and plenty of animal exhibits. In fact, the park is home to more than 12,000 animals from 300 different species!
If you want to experience all that Busch Gardens has to offer in the way of rides, one of the best ways to do it is by purchasing Quick Queue, which gives you front-of-the-line access to a select group of the park’s most popular attractions. Pricing varies based on seasonality and is highly recommended on busy days!
Quick Queue comes in a few different options:
- Quick Queue Unlimited: gives you unlimited front-of-the-line access to Falcon’s Fury, Cheetah Hunt, SheiKra, Montu, Kumba, Stanley Falls Flume, Cobra’s Curse, Scorpion, SandSerpent and Congo River Rapids. Pricing starts at $20 per person / per day but varies by day/season.
- Quick Queue: gives you one-time front-of-the-line access to Falcon’s Fury, Cheetah Hunt, SheiKra, Montu, Kumba, Stanley Falls Flume, Cobra’s Curse, Scorpion, SandSerpent and Congo River Rapids. Pricing starts at $15 per person / per day but varies by day/season.
- Quick Queue Junior: gives you one-time priority access to family-friendly rides Cobra’s Curse, Stanley Falls Flume, Congo River Rapids, Scorpion, SandSerpent & Air Grover. Pricing starts at $10 per person / per day but varies by day/season.
Recently, a fourth Quick Queue option was added which is perfect for annual pass holders like me – Year-Round Quick Queue! This $300 option gives you unlimited front-of-the-line access to Falcon’s Fury, Cheetah Hunt, SheiKra, Montu, Kumba, Cobra’s Curse, Scorpion, Stanley Falls Flume, SandSerpent & Congo River Rapids all year starting on the day of activation.
If you happen to be an annual pass holder, you receive a 10% discount on the purchase making the $300 year-round option cost only $270 which is a great deal considering that there are times when you pay upwards of $60 a day for Quick Queue on peak days! With that kind of math, it pays for itself after just 5 visits.
