THE ROLLER COASTERS OF BUSCH GARDENS WILLIAMSBURG

Adventure is at every turn at Busch Gardens Williamsburg with more than 100 action-packed acres of unparalleled fun. With dozens of thrilling rides and attractions, eight mainstage shows, a wide variety authentic foods and shops, and a magical children’s area, Busch Gardens Williamsburg is the ticket to a world-class adventure.

The year 2000 saw this Park awarded world's "Favorite Theme Park" in 2000 and America's "Most Beautiful Theme Park" for the ninth consecutive year by the National Amusement Park Historical Association.

A big part of the attraction at Busch Gardens Williamsburg are the thrilling roller coasters of every shape and size.

Here is a run-down of these "World Class Coasters" located through this European-themed Park:

• Located in the Festa Italia, Apollo’s Chariot, is a scream machine.   Soar over camelback humps at speeds in excess of 70 mph, in seats elevated about the car giving riders a "free flight" sensation.  

• Alpengeist is a breathtaking avalanche of adventure that turns an innocent ski lift into an avalanche of horror, giving passengers the most chilling ride of their lives on an inverted steel roller coaster within the Rhinefeld Village.
• Scotland is represented by the Loch Ness Monster.  This "monster" hurls its passengers along a steel track into the air, over the water and into a dark cave on an interlocking double-looping, steel roller coaster.
• Rhinefeld Village is also home to Wilde Maus - taking riders on a non-stop quest for cheese through a series of wild twists and turns.  
• The Big Bad Wolf marked a new generation in family thrill rides when it opened in 1984. Suspended from an overhead track, riders fly seemingly out-of-control through a deserted Bavarian village. The spirit of the wolf is present at every turn, from the distant howls at the boarding station to the authentically detailed buildings for the longest roller coaster ride in the park.
