Today's park is Busch Gardens Williamsburg, the 12th park on our Eastcoaster 2023 Road Trip
Making our way quickly through England ... and actually most of the park
Straight to Darkoaster. 10 minutes later we were on the ride.
Our thoughts on the ride is that it was fun and honestly unique. I however cannot imagine waiting more than 30 minutes to ride it though.
Since QuickQueue only allows one skip the line on InvadR we headed there next to get a few laps in early to not have to spend our one time so early in the day
We next headed to Italia and found our first denial of the day - Tempesto. It would never open today. Well so much for getting to skip that line one time.
So we went and drowned our sorrows on Pantheon
During the course of the day we rode this 5 times.
We found the ride to be fun, but with so many elite rides in one park, we're not sure it "shines" as bright as some make it out to be.
Apollo's Chariot was next. We still consider it to be one of the better B&M hypercoasters
When you can skip the long line and get angry glares from the stand by people - you ride Roman Rapids. Yeah we got a little wet
Since we were already wet, we did Escape from Pompeii next. Any reason why most of the effects in the building are not working right now? That was a huge disappointment
Continuing our lap around the park, we ended up at Loch Ness Monster.
It sure is pretty to look at. The ride experience is not so much
Finnegan's Flyers in Ireland was new to us. It was awesome swinging out and looking down at the water
Back in France we stopped by and took a few laps on Griffon. I must say this was the most challenging crew to work with in regards to QuickQueue. Their lead was a "peach" who definitely was not having a good day.
Alpengeist is such an imposing coaster. It just looks huge in this valley. We loved our numerous laps on this B&M inverted beast. Front is still the best seats
Verbolten is just a lot of fun. I am still bitter about it taking the place of Big Bad Wolf, but I can appreciate the ride for what it is.
I do have to mention that this last part has gotten a little rough. Not sure what that was about
We were bummed that there was no show in Festhaus on Tuesdays
But that didn't stop us from eating there anyway
So we purposefully saved our skip for DarKoaster for later in the day for this reason. That line is over 2 hours long. I cannot imagine waiting that long for anything - and especially not this ride
Don't mind us, we'll just walk on the ride and straight to the front row.
We had a great time at Busch Gardens today. Definitely recommend getting QuickQueue as that just made the day so much easier and we didn't have to spend so much time standing still - which kills us old people (ok we're not old, just not as young as we used to be)
