Busch Gardens Williamsburg: Re-creation! Park Spotlight 136 #PlanetCoaster

[@michealphillips10]

This is my home park, and he did an incredible job. Haven’t been in a couple years, but it’s exactly as I remember everything. Even the attention to detail on the coasters is phenomenal. For example, Alpengeist has unique support structures for the lift hill, which are present in this recreation. Another interesting bit of detail on Alpengeist, entering the mid-course brake run the coaster snaps from the banked curve to the flat, and even that is present. Excellent job at recreating it. From a local, 8.5-9.5/10

[@ahhellie8518]

Micheal Phillips same here but just a little work with the paths and some of the little details need to be fixed

[@drawingjunkie7443]

What really was amazing is that Griffon stayed at the drop for five seconds like the real one. Fantastic.

[@CrystalNibarger]

I will say that I never got to ride Dracon Fire, Almost did but decided to pass...in some ways I'm glad I didn't but I kinda wished I did...What turned me off to it was the fact that ppl were complaining about the jerking... But BBW was my first coaster...so sad to see her go. I've lived here all my life & I live about 15 - 20 mins away from BG.

[@dankdoggo273]

It is very accurate it is my home park aswell

[@jalentyler3554]

It needs a little upgrade but it’s overall good

[@Eherman23]

this is a fantastic recreation. i was already happy but imagine my surprise when i turned the corner and saw the iconic red track of the big bad wolf. riding it in this game is the closest we'll ever be to riding it again. thank you

[@jaeleon777]

R.I.P Big Bad Wolf

"She" was my first coaster...Sad they had to put "her" down for Verbolten.

Bruh he said highland stables is a ride at the real park it’s not a ride it’s where they keep there horses

[@MatthewLavan]

Haha it would be a good location for a ride like that if the Park ever wants to get rid of the horses; doubt it anytime soon

[@ahhellie8518]

ha yur trash ik lmaooo

[@iannnnnnn.]

Yeah they got the horses in the back

I wasn’t alive when when the go carts existed, but maybe that’s where it was? Idk though, just a suggestion.

The New France area is meant to be olden day Canada. kept bugging me how you thought it was either Germany or France lol

[@plunderness]

Lol, same. And he's from Canada.

[@BlaqJm18]

This is a nice recreation BUT... 3 Key Coasters are missing. Verbolten, Apollos Chariot, and Tempesto. Honestly Im surprised he didn't include the famous Defunct coaster, Drachen Fire

[@chadpieranunzi9346]

BlaqJm18 the big bad wolf is we’re verboten is.

[@disneywiz6840]

BlawJm18, Thomas did it bcz there is no Sky Rocket II in the game

[@Operator_Viking]

The coaster he has in place of Verbolten is the original coaster, The Big Bad Wolf

[@jdrizzle96]

I haven’t seen Verbolten on PC yet and I was excited until I saw Big Bad Wolf... also Apollo’s Chariot is a classic! It has to be made in this park!

[@nathanwho1384]

My aunt worked for busch gardens when I was younger. We would go every year as an end of summer, before school trip to visit and goto the park. I always loved it. Haven't been in almost 15 years, but my dad and I are taking a father/son trip in September. Can't wait. Great job on this recreation.

[@nonijonas]

I go to busch gardens almost every year, and this is pretty spot on. While I wish Apollo's Chariot was in here, the fact that they put Big Bad Wolf in put a smile on my face. All the coaster recreations are amazing!!!

[@jessiburmaster6897]

Incredibly accurate! And I miss when Dark Castle was a dark ride and not a coaster. But BG is this hard to find your way around lol

[@kermitsewrside410]

As this is my home park, I can officially say he did an amazing job!!!!

[@KeystoneState]

This is sensational, it's spot on. You really should visit these parks. You're not able to appreciate how incredible some of these recreations turned out, without knowing what the park is like in person. This is one of the best park recreations I've seen in a video game. Kudos @thrillrides

[@JReaLBiz86]

I've never been to BG Williamsburg, even though it's one of the most popular, closet theme parks to where I live here in Maryland. That said, this video earned my like as SOON as I heard that this entire park was built from the GOOGLE MAPS STREET VIEW of the park. The dedication and patience you need to build a park you've never been to, from a collection of pictures, is astonishing. Bravo to ThrillRides. I get to see a virtual version of a park I honestly should have visited numerous times, created in 17 months by someone else who's never been there. And I'm impressed. Thanks ThrillRides for putting in the labor of love, and Channel5 for posting this video.

[@adamdurbin6895]

For using Google Earth pictures and videos parts of this park are spot-on this is my home park and this is an incredible recreation. also no water park here that's water country 2 miles away and is Virginia's largest water park

[@a_cowwithlegs]

I would have just removed the parking lot

[@shtickstudios7109]

Oh man, such a good theme park irl.

[@natelaux5930]

Yes for sure

[@Delsaviocm124]

[@ThrillRides]

Hi Jonny! Thank you for this Park Spotlight!! Maybe I should have to tell you more about the other attractions in the park. :-D The problem is that it’s really hard for me to write long texts in English. :-D Escape from Pompeii is a Shoot the Chute, which is also located in the italy section. I uploaded a video from this ride on my channel with the original sound, if you like to see it. You really should watch a video of the real ride on KZbin, it’s fantastic. :-) The Roman Rapids ride is in the Fiesta Italia section. I didn’t know that it’s possible to make this map bigger, thank you for this idea! When I started this project I only wanted to recreate Alpengeist and Le Scoot, I never thought that I will do a complete re-creation. That’s the reason why there are differences to the original and some missing attractions. :’D Anyway, thank you for this Spotlight!

[@umchileanywaysso-6555]

ThrillRides You're great! I remember seeing your recreations on your channel a while back and I loved them! If you do decide to add Fiesta Italia, I will check it out! Keep doing what you're doing, you're awesome! :D

[@finch1422]

The details are so amazingly accurate! I’ve been going to Busch Gardens since I was six and it’s cool to see some of the things that they have taken out to put in new rides. I’m actually going back this weekend, so I’ll see if they have changed Dark Castle yet

[@bbfcgaming8011]

I love this park! I've been to it hundreds of times. (Im serious) He did a great job.

[@RedBeard10118]

Being in Virginia only 30 minutes away from this park is amazing. And the coaster recreations are awesome. However there are so many big details about this park that he is missing. Also the stables don’t have the kitty ride in them! You should come visit the park for yourself and learn how to pronounce the names! We locals are offended!

Yepppp ;I

[@hillarymontgomery5032]

Oh this park was THE best part of my childhood and The Big Bad Wolf was my first ever roller coaster that got me into loving those rides instead of dreading them. I was pretty sad and mad when it got shut down, along with The Curse of DarKastle, which was and is sadly WAY better than this recreation of it, sometime later, but now I live in Ohio. One of the states that barely has a theme park worth mentioning that has rides that harshly jostles your brain in your skull and makes you loose your glasses(I am near sighted without them, so I had to see in blurry early in my and my family's visit there to when I had to buy a new pair DAYS later). This makes me wish I was still living in Virginia, too be honest.

[@pyroteck3493]

The immelmann loop on Griffon is after both of the drops, not just the second. It's pronounced like "ih-muhl-men" though just so u know

[@Goreburger.]

Very nice but does this game always framedrop/lags when build too much?

[@cynaptic115]

Since festa Italia was cut off I’m currently working on a recreation of that specific area of the park, including Apollo’s chariot, tempesto, and Roman rapids, as well as trade winds and Turkish delight

[@notethansanchez7468]

Highland stables is just a place where you can take a picture with a Clydesdale

[@averagerobloxian9077]

Last time I went with my mom we went on the Invadr and apollos chariot, we didn’t see the drop on invadr until we were riding, and my mom hated it because of the clacking and the whiplash

Yeah there never was just a train nearby

[@zackarot]

I’ve been a Season Pass Member since 2007, this is the Busch Garden I was And am growing up with. This recreation is extremely accurate, it brings back many memories and I plan to keep making memories at the real park. 9.999/10

[@cheezycheddar211]

Highland Stables has no ride, it's where the Clydesdales roam. New France = Canada. The ride you called Roman Rapids is Escape From Pompeii.

[@megablueman]

It drove me crazy how you kept calling Escape From Pompeii the Roman Rapids. 2 completely different rides.

[@yeemcgee8149]

This is my home park. You did an awesome job! Especially love that you recreated big bad wolf

[@OliverBrosVideos]

This my home theme park and I go there a lot and this is really good and realistic I wish Apolls charoit was there but it’s still good

[@Phaota]

Great job on the recreation, though I'm a bit confused that someone would spend 17 months doing this, showing an avid fandom for the park, yet has never been to it many times. Sadly, all of the ares basically look the same in design. None of them stand out as being Scotland or England, etc. I'm going to assume that, in the real park, each world location is very decorative and makes the visitor feel like they are in those countries. The game park needs way more decoration as well IMO. Wow, Jonny, you said "German(y)" 12 times while in that section. Needs to watch the redundancy of words. :P Station stairs in the "Curse of the Darkcastle" needs lighting. As for the ride itself, not a lot going on. Mainly static set pieces and a few animatronic interactions. Was hoping for way more spookiness going on, but that's just opinion. Are all the lift hills set to the lowest speed?

[@ThrillRides]

Hi, I also recognized that Curse of DarKastle wasn’t working well in the Spotlight. There is a lot more to see. If you like you can watch the correctly working version on my channel. Usually the ride is synchronized with the music and the effects. :-)

[@danieltapia-ruano1056]

I Haven't been to Busch Gardens Williamsburg but have been to Busch Gardens Tampa. This looks very accurate from what I've heard/seen about the park, so good job Thomas! And as always Jonny, keep up the hard work!

[@saulb1247]

Is it just me or did he just miss like half the park😂😂😂

[@teejaypuffs9232]

The only ones I noticed that were missing were Apollo’s Chariot and The Big Bad Wolf

[@SlaminSam20]

I hope someone recreates verbolten at some point. Also I’d love to see a recreation of kings dominion as well. Being from Virginia it’s really cool to see someone recreate one of the places I spent a good part of my childhood at.

[@CrumsTheCreator]

This is insanely close to what the park looks like. The only thing missing is obviously Fiesta Italy and then there's some missed elevation changes that exist in the park such as Scottland at the entrance is actually up on a hill, but an absolutely stunning replica. Well done. You've made a BGW homefan VERY PROUD!

[@WengStansWorld]

I see the " Squires Grill " ex-wife use to be a cashier there...NICE ! Highland Stables ? has a kiddie car ride ? don't have the clydesdales anymore ? I haven't been to BG for a few years as I move to Kansas. Use to live only 13 miles from BGW. Yes, there is a water park. " Water Country U.S.A. On the other side of I-64, yes, my ex-wife use to work there too. Lochness Monster: I can't even begin to count how many times I have been on this coaster, but the recreation is spot on. Great job. I have watched the ( I think ) No Limits recreation and was disappointed at the helix. it was so dark onside the cave to even know you were on a helix. Fest Haus: WOW...just like I remember it. Loved the " Hallow Scream " shows at the Fest Haus...I miss it a lot and hope to someday return at the appropriate time of year. Dark Castle: Que seemed right , but honestly don't remember the stairs spiraling down. Dark Castle is a 3D ride. One of my most favorite rides at BGW. It is great fun for the entire family, from children to grand parents that cannot handle the extreme rides It does not have the 3D elements in this video, so I cannot give a review on it. But if you are ever to visit BGW, this is a MUST ride. Alpengeist: Fairly spot on. I think it's about 99% accurate only because it missed the shack at the mid course brakes. Everything else is as I remember it. InvadR: The quasi wooden coaster. Quasi because from what I understand is a wooden coaster with steel supports. or is it Wooden supports with steel track ? I can't remember, but it is not 100% wooden. Never been on it so I cannot comment to the accuracy. Le Scoot Flog Flume: Hmmm, was not a ride I frequented, so I cannot really tell you if this is 100% accurate either. I just was never a big fan of water rides. Griffon: Spot on ! Perfect recreation. I believe the height is 207 feet. or was it 205 and the Apollos Chariot was 207 ft. I can't remember. "AIr Bolten " ??? Well, what is featured was called " The Big Bad Wolf " which is no longer there. It was too old and too costly for parts if they could find any. I twas a park favorite. What replaced it is " Verbolten " which is a very cool coaster in it's own right. It is a multi launch coaster which the first half is indoors and features a track drop and a second launch. The Big Bad Wolf recreation here seems 100% spot on. My favorite part of the entire ride was at the end braking..the suspended cars would sway back and forth while you were at a complete stop. I believe this is a 100% recreation, but then again, it's been 11 years since I last rode it before the park tore it down and replaced it. Escape from Pompeii : Again, was never much of a water ride person, I think I had been on it once. Didn't really like the actual flames crawling across the ceiling...but if you are into that sort of thing, then I suppose you would think it was cool. The ride heats you and prepares you for the cool water splash. What was not in this video: Apollos Chariot. A B&M Hypercoaster. I believe it is 207 feet tall and features some incredible airtime. No inversions, but features a reverse helix that promptly whips you into a short dive then back up a short hill and then snaps you to the right. REALLY smooth coaster and also a BIG park favorite. Expect to stand in line for a while. again, it's been a few years so I am going strictly by memory and I must say,it's a pretty accurate recreation.

should of had Apollos chariot in there

[@seanstwocents8249]

I loved this video, I go to Busch gardens regularly, I really wish the creator could have included festa Italia, it is one of my favorite areas of the park.

[@seanstwocents8249]

Also, the highland stables is an animal attraction, not a car attraction, although it would be cool to have a car ride there. Although the creator did an excellent job on the park using google street view. It is nearly identical to the park albeit a few minor changes.

[@seanstwocents8249]

Also, the log flume was an opening day attraction back in 1975 I believe.

[@CrystalNibarger]

What???? they took out the stables? When did that happen? there wasn't a ride there when I was there last, they had Clydesdale Horses. He's also missing Apollo's Chariot which is an awesome awesome ride.

[@cgltrey]

Ok this is amazing and I’m only like 15 minutes in and I only see two mistakes and theyre not even huge it’s that the highland stables is not a ride it’s actually just a stables they have horses there and darcastle is different from the real ride (rip darcastle) ngl though the new one that Thomas made looks amazing. Also the ride where verbolten is is actually The big Bad Wolf. The big bad wolf was replaced by verbolten. And verbolten is a mostly inside launch coaster.This is coming from a Busch Gardens season pass holder. And there is no water park directly attached to Busch Gardens but water country USA has the same parent company and is like 15-30 min away from the park

[@spring12345]

Looks good but the bud bad wolf isn’t there anymore it’s he Verbolten

[@drawingjunkie7443]

Even though Big Bad Wolf was great, It always broke down and it was very uncomfortable.

5:50 The last time I visited the park, the Le Mans Raceway was still operating where Griffon is now. This little track is reminiscent of that old attraction. RIP Le Mans Raceway.

[@wwecrow]

The render for Curse of Darkcastle was terrible. It doesn't look anything like the original, plus in 2017 they announced it was closing for good. They turned it into New Kastle which is now an event venue.

[@Smoovey]

Although the layout is accurate, this doesn't do The Big Bad Wolf any justice. Riding it definitely felt faster and one of the most memorable parts is after the first drop when you nearly miss the houses during each turn. Felt like you were gonna crash right into the structures.

[@jasonsyugiohchannel202]

Very first time I ever rode the Griffin was a couple years ago it was the October Halloween thing to do every year and it was so bloody hot and my friend and I went to Busch Gardens we didn't eat anything all day we did get drinks but when I rode the Griffin and got all I threw up three times in a row because we've been riding roller coasters all day I want to go back and ride it again without getting sick neat video by the way keep up the good work man

[@propfoce7941]

what happened to apollo's charriot D:

[@Nasugi]

I know I’m super late to the party, but I wanted to pitch in my small comments about this. Busch Gardens is one of 2 theme parks 3 hours from home (both the closest). I went there the last year that big bad wolf was there. The attention to detail is stunning, I even looked through some old photos and compared, wow! I remember seeing commercials for the Griffon back in 2006/07 and this brings back memories! It saddens me that Apollo’s Chariot didn’t make it in, it was my favorite coaster and the one with the fondest memories. Stunning recreation, amazing job.

[@kayjaycoda4807]

I love Busch Gardens Williamsburg. This guy did such a great job building this. The only draw back is the elevation points. Some of my best memories are slowly walking up a steeeeep hill after a long day walking around the park. Otherwise I enjoyed the virtual tour! Griffin for life!!!!
