Busch Gardens Williamsburg is unleashing its newest and most immersive family attraction – The Big Bad Wolf: The Wolf’s Revenge – opening today to all guests. North America’s longest family inverted coaster delivers a highly immersive and thematic experience, where families are swept into a world of unparalleled excitement. Set in a bustling Bavarian village, the celebration quickly turns into chaos as glowing red eyes and bone-chilling howls signal the return of a terrifying creature. Riders dash through more than 2,500 feet of track at speeds up to 40 miles per hour. With its thrilling yet accessible design, this ride is perfect for kids, with a minimum height of 42 inches when accompanied by a supervising companion and 48 inches without, ensuring everyone can enjoy this coaster together.
Members had the exclusive opportunity to be the first to ride over this past week, and the reviews were enthusiastic, with many eager to ride again and share the experience. Now, the park is excited to open the ride to all guests so everyone can see what the buzz is about. The Virginia park celebrated with a Grand Opening Ceremony, complete with a ribbon cutting, ceremonial first ride, and a DJ dance party. Wolf Scouts from the Colonial Virginia Council of Scouting America joined local dignitaries and Busch Gardens leadership for the inaugural ride.
“Last weekend, we gave our Members the opportunity to preview The Big Bad Wolf: The Wolf’s Revenge during our 50th anniversary celebration, and they loved it,” said Kevin Lembke, President of Busch Gardens Williamsburg and Water Country USA. “The return of the iconic wolf, paired with the nostalgia of our park’s history, struck a real chord with guests, and the early reactions have been enthusiastic across the board. It’s the perfect opportunity for thrill seekers of all ages to create new memories together.”
