IOA, SWO, BGT, Boomers
Aside from Disney, is there anything that I should add to this trip?

As far as if you should do it or not, I guess it depends on how much you are willing to give up in Orlando in order to make the drive. You have to take into consideration that you will probably miss an entire day in Orlando if you make the trip to Dania.
But is the coaster worth it if you decide to do that? YES!

As for Busch, well, let's leave that for the TR...if you haven't been, you're gonna go anyway, and you *should*.....two of B&M's finest pieces, and a really nice *dueling*(?) GCI...

Gimme speed, height, airtime and plenty of LAUNCH!!!
I will agree that Boomers is not an amusement park, so if you are looking for an amusement park experience with flat rides, a log flume and a drop tower, then you will be sadly disappointed. There are no other real rides- just upcharge stuff like mini golf and go-karts, but there are no enormous crowds and lines, either. The place is really an FEC (family entertainment center) and makes no joke about it (you have to walk through the arcade to get to the coaster) but it has something that no other FEC, and very few theme parks for that matter, have... a Top 10 wooden coaster!

Still, there is one glaring, empty space in Orlando- one that is left by the lack of a wooden coaster. To some enthusiasts (myself included), that isa big deal. If you want to ride a good wooden coaster, go to BGT... if you want to ride a REAL GOOD wooden coaster, go to Dania.
It all depends of what your priorities are, really. If you want to stay in Orlando and do nothing but theme parks, you'll be happy. If you want to skip a day of theme parks, enjoy 6 boring hours in the car to ride a great wooden coaster, then you'll be happy. From what I see, this is a situation where you'll win either way. How important is it that you ride a Top 10 wooden coaster?
