Coaster Wars: Busch Gardens Tampa vs. Busch Gardens Williamsburg
Hello Coasterpedians! Welcome to the second edition of my new blog series, "Coaster Wars"! After the success of my first comparison, "Six Flags Magic Mountain vs. Cedar Point", I decided to follow that up with the heavily-requested match-up, "Busch Gardens Tampa vs. Busch Gardens Williamsburg". Keep in mind that I have not had the opportunity to visit either park. However, I can assure you that I know a good deal about what makes a good roller coaster, and I've done a significant amount of research on both parks.

Coaster Wars: Six Flags Magic Mountain vs. Cedar Point
Keep in mind that this comparison was made several years ago, and a lot has changed for both parks. Cedar Point's GateKeeper is a major success, while Magic Mountain has added Full Throttle and Twisted Colossus. Whole areas of both parks have been renovated and rethemed since October, 2011. Keep in mind that this was written with a major points bias towards the roller coasters, with only a fraction of the score coming from other factors. Depending on how important various other factors may be to you, the outcome will be different in your head. The points system used is, admittedly, arbitrary, and it is meant to invoke excitement in competition. Thank you for visiting, and I hope you enjoy reading! May the best park win!
I have always enjoye…
