Apollo’s Chariot Pov at Busch Gardens Willamsburg

[@viniciusstellium8012]

It's so cool and beautiful to see Apollo's in such a rainy, grey day. I could almost feel the chill through the screen!

[@zerobriroll]

a rain ride! jealous!

[@leahstrips]

don’t be it was very painful

[@Stagnant_Gravy]

I’ve ridden many coasters in the rain, but the most painful was Phantom’s Revenge at Kennywood. 85 mph top speed and it keeps the momentum through the ride, constant bullets in your face. I’ve also done Leviathan at Canada’s Wonderland in HARD rain that maxes out at 92 mph, but at least the sprawling hills give you a couple seconds from rapid fire 😅

Apollo chariot was the giga coaster before they made giga coasters

[@DeeAsztalos]

My favorite roller coaster (next to the Loch Ness Monster). The air time is SO much fun!

[@leahstrips]

yes have you heard about the retrack for loch ness?

[@bridgetraveler7700]

I rode Superman the Ride at Six Flags New England in the rain in the past in the front seat and that ride really goes very quickly 77 MPH and it's very painful to feel in the rain. It feels like sleet hitting you very hard and 77 MPH.

yess rain rides are so painful

[@SilentStevesparkviews]

beautiful day. one of my favs at busch gardens. do you have to get special permission to fill on rides there?

[@leahstrips]

you have to check in your camera at the front and they will give you a camera card then you show it to the ride operators

[@SilentStevesparkviews]

thanks for the info

Is Patheon running for Winter Ops this year?

[@acmorr_7644]

I went a couple weeks ago, it was closed at the beginning of the day due to high winds, but by midday I was able to ride it

[@leahstrips]

yes as long as it’s above 42 degrees it should run

[@Raven1015]

You got to ride this in the rain?! I'm not jealous at all... definitely not... nope.. nooooope...
