Busch Gardens........what can I say......🤔 Welp, I'm not one to expect something for free because free costs too much for me but no for real the prices are outrageous. Gosh, bum, from $30 to park even for the handicapped, a 16 oz coke is $5.99, water 2/$8.50, Powerade $6,49, foot-long hot dog 15.99 not to mention $6.00 to use a stand-up clothes dryer after riding Congo River. Oh yeah, the safari tour is $50 on top of your ticket price. I understand everything is increasing in price but dang.🤷🏽‍♀️ They are getting it with our clothes on.🤦🏽‍♀️ You'll get that tomorrow. 😁 I hope the employees are compensated fairly. My suggestion would be that they have a rollback week or weekend. Cut the prices by 20%. Busch Gardens has always been fun and exciting along with some good eats and treats but now you have to take out a payday loan just to...

We love this ride. There's usually 3 of us that go together and we usually get to talking to others in line. This past time we chatted with a couple and there 2 boys, so when we got to our turn, they rode with us. I'm a fun 75 and so is my friend, we joked with the kids about who would get wet. I think we all did in the end. We recommended Cirque Electric and the Ice show. We saw them later at the ice show and they Thanked us for our recommendations. It's fun being friendly with other guest and then seeing them later and talking and waving like we are old friends. We do it all the time. After All, This is Our Florida. Thanks Busch...

I love this ride. It's fun and a great way to cool down. But, as soon as we got to the ride today it was having technical difficulties. We wait for about 10 min then decided to go ride the Kumba which is really close to the Congo River Rapids ride. We waited in line there for about 10 min, when we got off the ride we went right back over to the Congo River Rapids ride and it was still down with no ETA. So we were disappointed we didn't get to...

Of all the River Rapids rides in Florida, this one is the least remarkable. It doesn't get you insanely wet like Popeye's, it's not intricately themed and landscaped like Kali River Rapids, and it doesn't have the soundtrack and high tech Rapids of Infinity Falls. And unlike all of those rides, it doesn't have a large drop. But Congo River Rapids is still worth your time. You will get wet, the theming is nice, and it's fun just like any other Rapids.

Great experience, line wasn't that bad and moved really fast, prepare to get wet and have lots of fun. While we were about to start going on the ride there were some technical problems but it didn't take more than five minutes to get it fixed. If I'm not mistaken the minimum height is 42" to be able to ride in the Congo River rapids.

My family loves this ride It's a lot of fun and even my shortest child was able to go on this ride. There's a good chance you'll get wet or soaped on this ride. There is a station that you could pay to have it dry you off a bit at the end of this ride. This right is a bit bumpy but it's worth it if you love the water.
