Make sure you visit the forums and left everyone know what your first memory of Busch Gardens is. Obviously if you’ve been going to BGW since you were a little kid, your memories might be a little hazy, but hopefully reading other people’s memories will be able to jog your memory a little more....

I was over at the Christmas Town website checking out the attractions that will be open and just what’s going on in general. I’ve accomplished at least one thing by going on the site; I’ve already determined where I’ll be eating. At the Festhaus, this is the menu: Das Festhaus – Enjoy a variety...

In two weeks to the day, The Big Bad Wolf will make it’s last run. There have been plenty of people expressing frustration with the removal of the ride. One of those people is a regular reader named Nora. The classic coaster has had quite an impact on her and she’s made passionate pleas...

I’ve added two videos of Busch Gardens from the extreme early days of the park. The videos are 8mm footage and do not have sound, but it’s fun to see that far back in the park’s history via a media other than still pictures. The second video has footage of an acrobatic act and...

I’ve added a video of Fabio’s ride on Apollo’s Chariot to the History of Busch Gardens. Check it out HERE. Tweet This Post

I’ve added a video to the Misc. Videos that shows some of the old street performers and characters that inhabited Busch Gardens in the late 80′s, when it was still “The Old Country”. Go check it out, see if it brings back any memories for you. Tweet This Post

Kings Dominion made their long awaited announcement regarding their new Intamin giga-coaster on the 20th, and I’m a bit disappointed. I was hoping for a ride that would offer more airtime than it appears it will, and the over shoulder restraints also go the opposite direction that I was looking for. Those restraints might...

NOTE: This was originally posted on August 18th on cbjPages.com. I’m away from my computer but I will be updating this post tonight with details. It seems that Blackstone has made is on the verge of making a legit offer for the entire family of Busch Entertainment Corporation parks. Details to come. Update: Alright,...

This article will remain at the front of the site through the remainder of the regular season and Howl-O-Scream (through Nov. 1). Official Busch Gardens Howl-O-Scream Map: This map was leaked and looks to be legit, but it may change minimally between now and the 25th. Update: Just heard from the communications office that...

I’ve updated the information I posted earlier about Howl-O-Scream 2009 to include the locations and likely locations in my opinion. Here’s the run down: I think Bitten will take advantage of one of the Big Bad Wolf stations. It takes place in Germany and the description Busch has given says, “The manor sits by...

Arrow promotional video. Note how quickly the train goes through the brake section and on to the second lift hill. Another Arrow promotional video. In 1984, Busch Gardens opened what would arguably become know as the best suspended roller coaster in the world. Following the success of Loch Ness Monster (which held the record...

With all the talk of the upcoming closure and removal of the Big Bad Wolf in Busch Gardens Williamsburg, people have again started remembering coasters of the parks past. While there have been several removals/additions/replacements of coasters throughout the parks history, the most captivating story is that of Drachen Fire. It’s the most interesting...

The Virginia Busch Gardens opened on May 16, 1975 in James City County, which encircles the small independent city of Williamsburg. The park is roughly 3 miles from Colonial Williamsburg. The theme of this park is a...
