Busch Gardens Williamsburg Honoring Big Bad Wolf With New Roller Coaster
Busch Gardens Williamsburg is set to introduce an all-new family-friendly inverted roller coaster that will pay tribute to a beloved attraction from the park’s history.
The ride, slated to open in the spring of 2025, will be “North America’s longest inverted family coaster” and will be located in the Germany section of the park, a nostalgic nod to the famed Big Bad Wolf roller coaster.
The story goes…
“Longer ago, a wolf swept through a Bavarian town, turning townsfolk to werewolves and destroying the village. Forty years later, it’s time to honor the past during the annual Festival of the Silent Bells. The area is quiet at first, but strange noises are soon heard… footsteps and growling, then bright red eyes appear. The wolf has returned.”
An exhilarating adventure across the German countryside awaits guests in 2025 when riders become the beast on Busch Gardens’ new inverted coaster.
As the sound of screams and the echo of a howling wolf creates chaos in the familiar town, riders will experience over 2,500 feet of track traveling up to 40 miles per hour while bolting through the streets of an abandoned Bavarian village.
Thrill seekers can watch the 30-second teaser below.
The Big Bad Wolf, which operated from 1984 until 2009, was a fan favorite, thrilling guests for 25 years until its closure.
This new attraction, the park’s 11th roller coaster, continues the legacy of the iconic ride. While Verbolten, a coaster built in 2012 on the former site of Big Bad Wolf, was the first to honor the legendary ride, this latest addition further celebrates its memory.
Busch Gardens is giving guests the rare opportunity to help pick the name of this new immersive coaster. Now through September 25, guests can select their favorite name from three options:
A: WölfSturm
B: WölfsReign
C: GeisterWölf.
