What should I bring to Busch Gardens?

Should I bring a bag to Busch Gardens?

• Is it OK for me to bring a small backpack to Busch Gardens or can I not take it on the rides? Do you reccomend this? I wanted to have it to carry around water, souveniers, and such

• Answer:

  To speed up the boarding process to cut down on wait times for rides, BG now will not let you bring bags even into the waiting area. You used to be able to leave your bag at the station in cubbys or a rack, but not anymore. and no way are they gonna let you ride while holding it. My solution was a little change purse attached to a lanyard around my neck for money. you can rent an all day locker to hold souveniers and water bottles can be left outside the ride,cuz who would want to steal someone elses water-lol IMO a backpack would be more trouble then its worth
