With Busch Gardens Williamsburg operating year-round nowadays, we have been granted the opportunity to observe a ton of fairly routine maintenance work that we’ve never been able to witness previously. Better yet, after years of deferred projects as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, this “off-season” has been a particularly busy one thus far by […]
Throughout BGWFans’ more than 10 year history, we have leaked a lot of major Busch Gardens Williamsburg attraction additions. Historically, we have typically tried to identify yet-to-be-announced BGW rides by their anticipated debut year. For instance, prior to their official announcements, we identified Verbolten as Project 2012, Tempesto as Project 2015, InvadR as Project 2017, […]
Aquazoid's Slide Tower is Gone
Ok, so maybe the subtitle of this article is slightly clickbait-y. I’m sure you’ll forgive that though in light of the amazingly niche Aquazoid billboard reference. It even features a tower being destroyed! This is peak Water Country USA comedy guys! Anyway, there may not be any CERTAIN COSMIC DOOM! involved here, but we have […]
Late January Pantheon Aerial Construction Update
We believe that BGWFans has a responsibility to our readers to be as transparent as possible regarding our relationship with Busch Gardens Williamsburg. Despite being a relatively uncomfortable and inconvenient topic to address in a public setting like this, we believe there’s a moral imperative to do so. This is particularly true when the status […]
Multi-Launched Shuttle Giga Coaster Planned for 2021 Debut at Busch Gardens Williamsburg
January 21st Update: Many of the questions left unanswered by this article were solved one day after its publication thanks to a leaked schematic that clearly depicts the track and supports for Busch Gardens Williamsburg’s 2021 roller coaster! We are proud of the article below and encourage you to give it a read if you […]
It has been a long time since BGWFans published a basic, barebones, in-park construction update to its frontpage. Instead, progress photos for new rides, shows, etc have been largely relegated to our various social media channels for the past few years. That said, now that we have a major new roller coaster to keep tabs on […]
In an effort to avoid burying the lead, let’s jump right into the news. One of our forum members, kingadam, tipped us off to a new filing with James City County regarding Busch Gardens Williamsburg’s Festa Field plans (codenamed Project Madrid). The site plan included in this new round of documents depicts impervious areas of […]
Today marked the opening night of this year’s Christmas Town, but it also brought something else as well: A new opportunity to check in on how InvadR is progressing. There will be plenty of formal Christmas Town content coming soon (in addition to ongoing Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram coverage), but tonight we’re going to focus on […]
It’s the eleventh hour—the park is making their announcement on Saturday—and we know you all are chomping at the bit, anticipating the unveiling of Busch Gardens’s Project 2017. Though we don’t know everything the park is planning to reveal on the 19th, hopefully we can relieve a little bit of that intense suspense tonight. It’s time to leak BGW’s […]
As many of you know, Busch Gardens Williamsburg has spent the last three years renovating the park’s 41 year-old Arrow log flume, Le Scoot. From the beginning of this project, BGWFans has expressed time and time again how impressed we are that the park is making the investments required to restore this 1975 park original. A […]
February 3rd, 2016 (11:10 AM) Update: Hours after finishing this post, Busch Gardens Williamsburg published a second video quite literally confirming the red area in the map below. I encourage you all to read the rest of the post, but know that we’re now dealing in park-confirmed fact instead of my assessment of small shreds of evidence. Deeper analysis into the […]
Tempesto Construction Update #6
It’s time for another Tempesto Construction update! If you missed the last one it can be viewed here. Because the park is now closed till sometime in March, this will most likely be the last in-park Tempesto construction update for a while. Over the last couple weeks, Tempesto has been growing like a weed. On the 31st alone, […]
Tempesto Construction Update #5
Well, it’s probably long over-due, but it’s time for another Tempesto construction update! If you missed our previous construction update, you can check it out here. If you have visited the park recently, you’ve probably noticed that the skyline is changing rapidly as Tempesto quickly rises. Construction thus far has primarily been focused on the two tower structures […]
Tempesto Construction Update #4
It has been nearly a month since guests were last able to see what has been happening at the construction site for Busch Gardens Williamsburg’s new, still unannounced coaster, Tempesto. Turns out that during that time, the park has made a ton of progress. What all is done? Well, both massive support towers have begun […]

More info coming soon. — BGWFans.com (@BGWFans) September 18, 2014 That’s right! According to the information […]
Project 2015 & Howl-O-Scream 2014 Construction Update
It has been far too long since we last did a photo update. Lets fix that. Today we have a rather impressive number of Project 2015 pictures from some incredibly unique angles in addition to a massive collection of Howl-O-Scream 2015 construction photos. Enjoy! [hr] Project 2015 Despite the fact that Project 2015 track has […]
Star Spangled Nights Construction & Highland Cattle
As I’m sure many of you have noticed, it has been a while since we’ve had a photo update to share. Why? Well because, in all honesty, aside from dumping paint on The Globe Theatre, the park really hasn’t been up to all that much lately. Anyway, today’s post focuses on preparations for the park’s latest thematically-questionable […]
Banbury Cross Renovations, Food & Wine Festival Construction, and More
It has been quite a while since our last construction update. I guess it’s about time I fix that… Today we have pictures of the rather shocking changes made to the front of the Globe Theatre, progress on the Banbury Coke Market which we leaked would be coming a while back, pictures of the ongoing Food & Wine Festival […]
