Verbolten & Howl-O-Scream Update (May 4th)
Howl-O-Scream Howl-O-Scream news already?! Shocking, I know. A few day ago we leaked on our forums that Monster Stomp would not be returning for 2012’s Howl-O-Scream event. Due to the outrage the leak caused amongst the general public, the park was forced to come out and confirm the rumor in a blog post which can […]
It has been almost a month now since our last official BGWFans Verbolten picture update. Hard to believe it has been that long, but it has. The good news? We have a huge, and, if I may say so myself, awesome Verbolten update for you today. Now, some of these pictures were actually taken last […]
[dropcap2]Explanation[/dropcap2] One of the pitfalls of being a fansite like this one is that you get hits and misses. When we get rumors, we post them. In this case the basic facts of the rumor seem to be accurate, some type of accident occurred, causing damage to the yellow train and an […]
KingAdam from the BGWFans Forums was able to get to the park yesterday to provide us with a great Verbolten update. Check it out!
Verbolten, Entwined, and More (March 30th)
[dropcap2]General[/dropcap2] [list style=”2″][li]The doors to DarKastle’s pre-show room are broken and the queue has gone back to basically what it was last year. Apparently they expect to have the doors fixed within the next few weeks. Not really a great thing to have happen right before Spring Break.[/li][li]The park has some new […]
Verbolten & Entwined Update (March 17th)
General All the big news is below but first, here’s just a few smaller, noteworthy additions and changes that we saw today. [list style=”2″] [li]DarKastle’s preshow and fireplace have both been restored to what they were back when the ride first opened. We also noticed a few smaller changes such as some new off-screen (physical) […]
The last time we wrote about a resort hotel coming to the park was back in December when we published the rumor that Blackstone and Xanterra were in talks to build a resort on the land currently occupied by the Busch Gardens Williamsburg “boneyard” (the area behind Festhaus Park). Since then, news about this rumored […]
Verbolten Update (December 29th)
The drop is done and the turn is started. Not much else to say really. Enjoy the pictures!
Verbolten Update (December 26th)
Trevor Bondi (TrevorBondi on the forums) was kind enough to allow us to use his Verbolten construction pictures that he took while he was at the park yesterday. Enjoy!
A Tale of Two Resorts: Blackstone and Xanterra
Months ago, a story came out in a local newspaper stating that Blackstone planned to add a full resort hotel somewhere in the area to supplement Busch Gardens Williamsburg and Water Country USA. Rumors about this resort have been sparse but hopefully that’s beginning to change. Before we jump into the big news, a little […]
Verbolten Update (December 9th)
If a picture is worth a thousand words then this update is going to be over 13,000 words long. I think that’s a little too long already so I’ll just skip to the pictures. While I have your attention, how about a bit of site news as well? We’re happy to announce that version 3 […]
Adventure River Coming to Ocean Breeze
An Ocean Breeze article on the front page? What is this hypocrisy?! Well, it’s always best to keep tabs on the “competition“, right? We’re a few days late on the news, but as you could probably guess from the title, Ocean Breeze has yet another attraction to open in 2012- just one year after adding […]
Robert Fehnel (bigbobdog on the Forums), was kind enough to allow us to use his excellent Christmas Town pictures on the main site. If you have any problems with the picture viewer, they can be seen in his Flickr album as well. Want to tell him how awesome his pictures are? There’s a thread for that […]
Verbolten Update (November 26th)
It’s been a while and the progress the park has made since we last saw Verbolten definitely shows this. I know you’re not here to listen to me ramble about what has happened since the last update so I’ll just give you what you came for: Pictures. If you don’t want to go through them […]
Last night Water Country USA proposed their master plan for the next decade or so to the York County Planning Commission during their monthly meeting. As far as future rides and attractions go, there’s not much to be seen, but the map contained within their proposal gives a good idea of where the park is […]
Howl-O-Scream 2011 & Verbolten Updates (September 23rd)
Well, I went to the park today to check out the opening night of Howl-O-Scream expecting to have a great day. I didn’t. The weather was terrible making it quite hard to take pictures, and the weather ended up causing the park to close at 6- when Howl-O-Scream was scheduled to start. I have pictures […]
Howl-O-Scream 2011 & Verbolten Announcement
A bunch of BGWFans Forum members met up at the park today to attend the big unveiling of Howl-O-Scream 2011 and Verbolten, formerly known as “Project 2012”. None of the information they gave out should have really surprised anyone who keeps up with this site or our forums, but we have a video of the […]
Howl-O-Scream 2011 & 2012 Coaster Update
Howl-O-Scream 2011 It’s almost here folks. Preparations for the 13th year of Busch Garden’s Howl-O-Scream event are in full swing. Pictures with random commentary are posted below. 2012 Coaster Normally you’d be flooded with pictures of the progress that has been made since the last update, but I decided to do things a bit […]
