Food & Wine Festival Construction, Coca-Cola Market Progress, & More!
Though the BGWFans homepage has been pretty quiet over the last few weeks, the park has still been very busy preparing for the Busch Gardens Williamsburg Food & Wine Festival, working on the new Coca-Cola Market, continuing to clean up Aquitaine, and more. I’ll start out the post with a look at the ongoing construction for …
Verbolten Incident & Mäch Tower Changes
Over the last few days a little news has come out pertaining to Busch Gardens’ two newest rides: Verbolten and Mach Tower. I’ll start with the Mach Tower news because that seems to be the only story that would actually have an affect on someone visiting the park. After that, I’ll go into what we’ve heard and …
Opening Weekend Part 2: The Photo Update
I’m terribly sorry that it took me this long to get this post up. After Pass Member Preview, I simply didn’t have enough photo content to justify a post- at least not one I would have been happy with. With that said, last weekend was technically the first full weekend the park was open to the …
Opening Weekend Part 1: Presentations and the Food & Wine Festival
I was going to post everything I have gotten this weekend at once but there is, quite simply, way too much content. Instead I’m going to break down everything from this weekend into two or three separate posts. This first post contains all four of the presentation videos and a ton of new information on …
The Final Post of the Off-Season
It’s almost time. As of the time this post goes live, there are only 14 hours till Busch Gardens Williamsburg opens its gates for the 2013 season. As you could expect from BGWFans, we’ll be dashing around the park all day tomorrow documenting every last change we can find. Anyway, though a massive wave of …
Ticket Booth Construction, Eagle Ridge Overhaul, and Much More!
We have less than two weeks till Busch Gardens Williamsburg opens and I have some great news: There’s an absolute ton of news to report. Over the past few weeks things have been slowly building up but nothing has really happened that justified a post; that is, until now. Today we have tons of construction …
New Show Coming to Das Festhaus in 2013 and More!
Das Festhaus Will House Two Shows for 2013 A This is Oktoberfest-Style Show Is Returning To Das Festhaus for 2013 It’s true. After last year’s horrifically disappointing debut of Entwined, it was clear to everyone that major changes needed to take place. Well, today, we can finally share what we’ve been told to expect in …
A Tale of Two Coasters
A fantastic article comparing and contrasting Busch Gardens Williamsburg’s Verbolten with Cedar Point’s defunct indoor bobsled coaster, Disaster Transport. This article is defiantly worth every second of the time you’ll spend reading it.
Le Scoot Lift Replacement
First off, sorry about the ridiculously long delay on this update. We ran into some fairly major bugs which prevented us from posting picture galleries- something that was needed to make this post possible. Fortunately we’ve managed to find and fix said bugs and everything is now (hopefully) running smoothly once again. If you run into any …
Waves of Honor, Food & Wine Festival, Banbury Changes, and Gelato!
This is going to be a quick post highlighting some recent news having to do with a leaked employee memo which can be found below. There’s not a ton of new information here, but it does confirm a fairly long list of rumored and/or leaked bits of news that we’ve heard over the last few …
