Ok, you want rollercoasters? Then this is the park for you! Busch Gardens is a little
further to travel to but well worth the trip. Most of the other theme parks in the Orlando
area contain family orientated rides with a couple of thrill seeking rides to satisfy
everyone. Busch Gardens caters more for the thrilling rides and has some great
rollercoasters and water rides centered around a pretty impressive safari park. Oh and I
mustn't forget to mention the brewery! Yes the famous Budweiser and other brands are made
here, you can see the process via a tour and then taste the goods for free! (as long as
your over 21).
