No metal detectors. Worst they can do is kick you out. I've never been kicked out, just saying.

Half the time the police are texting or looking shit up online. I always have my pocket knife when I go to busch gardens. Maybe they just haven't noticed the clip

I went there last week. It's basically random bag check with a magnet, and they may check you over personally if you look sketchy and it's not peak entrance time. No Garrett wands or metal detectors. Theoretically, any bags, soft coolers or purses are all checked. However, purses, strollers, diaper bags...none of that gets checked when there's a mob of people entering at opening. At slow entrance times mid day, they will check more consistently.
Main concern is that many of the ride forces and buckles and seating arrangements would make secure carry very awkward, and IMHO it's not worth pissing your family/friends off if you get kicked out if a jacket rides up over your IWB or worse yet, lose retention. I don't bother with more than a small keychain pocket knife. |

A few observations from the trip. I did not see the first sign anywhere that read no firearms and I looked around at the entrance, I can't confirm or deny if I carried my glock 26 in my Galco ankle glove , but I did carry my new vertx gammut edc bag packed light just water, a first aid kit, wallet and flashlight as well as some layering clothes and hot hands. Guy didn't even check it. My brother took his 511 sling bag with baby stuff and the guy took a quick peep and said enjoy the lights.

Weapons, knives, straws? The no straws thing is for the animals. People are fucking slobs and toss straws wherever, which the animals manage to eat, followed by intestinal blockages and gastric surgery or slow and painful death. Lots of zoos have the same rule. |

I have nothing to add except fuck that place when it's busy. It could be nice if it wasn't slam packed with a bunch of mouth breathing fatasses and their litters and if anyone there had any fucking concept of personal space. Wife and kids love it, so I get dragged there. We went yesterday and I spent the entire time suppressing the urge to start tossing people over railings and feeding elbows to rude motherfuckers. Something slightly funny/concerning....I saw a very tan, dark haired kid that looked about 14-15 walking with what I guess was his family who had a shirt on that read "I'm the bomb". As they walked by they were speaking some form of dirka dirka. |

My buddy and I would go there at like 1pm on a Tuesday, in the off-season times. No lines for anything, they'd let us ride around 2-3 times without getting off on Apollo's Chariot. I can't even go there anymore. Even a minimal line infuriates me.
