Our forum members have come through again. This time around Fur Dozy pointed out that if you look closely at an updated Google Maps image, you can see a bunch of Le Mans cars lined up nicely, seemingly waiting to be brought back out at some point. Rumor has it that some of the...

The park has announced that a new show will be going into the Canadian Palladium this season after all as noted by Swiftman in our forums. The benches have apparently been removed from the theater and have been replaced by tables and benches. The new show will feature the “New France Folk Trio” and...

The park has announced that for the first time in the park’s history, they will be adding to the celebration of Memorial Day with the addition of nightly fireworks at 9:30 on May 29 & May 30. The best place to see the fireworks will be Germany & Italy, with a white balloon acting...

One of our forum members, FlyerMiles, posted a little blurb about some new info he had come across on the park’s website. Basically what his post says is that IllumiNights is going to be awesome. Between June 28 & August 22, the park will transform nightly into a celebration like nothing we’ve seen at...

I drove over to the park today, obviously not to go in, but rather because today the park was conducting line of sight tests using a balloon to determine how visible the new tower will be from different areas surrounding the park. I did see some of the testing, it appeared multiple locations were...

I’ve come across some more information regarding the new drop tower. It would appear the park has made preliminary plans with the tower being in different locations. The James City County Planning Commission has made it clear that one of the sites submitted by the park is preferred due to it being located behind...

The park is adding a remote control truck area between Griffon and Three Rivers Snacks sometime in the near future. Some may remember that this isn’t the first time the park has had remote control vehicles in the park. There not only used to be remote control trucks in the area near Roto Baron,...

Sorry about the lack of update this past weekend for Ramp Jam, I was busy going through the process of adopting a dog and it took pretty much all of my attention away from everything else. However, I wanted to remind everyone that if you missed Ramp Jam this past weekend like I did,...

I’ve been told an interesting little bit of information regarding the webcam located at the top of Griffon. Swiftman spoke to someone with knowledge about the operation of the cam who stated it would be moving soon. Obviously no timeframe was given, nor was a new location stated, but it is interesting that they...

Today was a big day at the park, Celtic Fyre officially opened and it was a soft opening for Europe in the Air. It was fairly crowded and the line for Europe in the Air stretched out to the bridge connecting Hastings and Killarney until the ribbon was cut. I couldn’t stay at the...

The park has officially filed for a height waiver for an attraction not to exceed 260 ft. and to be built in the Germany section of the park. Where the ride is located should come as no surprise. But what is surprising is that this appears to be a drop tower. The request is...

The park has released this short video about how their new motion simulator ride, Europe in the Air, was made. It pretty interesting to see the equipment they used and also gives us a sneak peak of the footage we can expect to see (and feel) when we ride Europe in the Air starting...

The park has announced that this Friday, April 30, Gov. Bob McDonnell will be in the park to celebrate the official opening of Celtic Fyre and the first “test flights” taking place for Europe In The Air. The park will be opening at 9 am, so on top of Europe In The Air opening,...

If you’re a regular visitor to the site, you’re probably familiar with the online petition to have the effects in the Loch Ness Monster cave turned back on (or replaced). Well, this is my appeal to those that might not be regular visitors, if all of the casual visitors of this site took a...

The park has announced today that the pretzel-coaster build off will be back this year. Last years winner, Gregory Stanton will also be back to defend his title. This years contest will require contestants to build Griffon with nothing more than an unlimited number of pretzels and glue. This contest is open to any...

It was just days ago that we reported on there being solid evidence of a webcam being placed atop Griffon and it didn’t take long for it to go live. You can now head over to the park’s official website to check out the cam. Or, you can come here. We’ll be running the...

For most of us, this is not a surprise, but Busch Gardens Williamsburg has once again been voted the Most Beautiful Amusement Park by the National Amusement Park Historical Association. This makes 20 years straight of domination… beautiful domination. Our humble park here in WBurg has been able to top every other park in...

This is not coming from an official park announcement, but I’ve been told that the opening date for Europe in the Air is May 1st. This is coming from a third party source, but apparently it is based on a conversation had with the most reliable of all sources within Busch Gardens Williamsburg. We’ll...
