Is the Big Bad Wolf Returning to Busch Gardens Williamsburg in 2025!?!

[@drachenwolf]

Drachen Fire and The Big Bad Wolf? Two of the best coasters the park ever had.

[@FrankConquestJr]

I rode the Big Bad Wolf back in 1992. One of a kind.

[@jessecaldwell9781]

it's likely going to be the family B&M coaster like Pheonix Rising. They are adding family rides to all the parks right now.

[@shaunbarnes4420]

I had the honor to ride Big Bad Wolf a bunch of times through the years. I would love to see it return. I would love to see Drachen Fire to be reincarnated. Loved it.

[@amusementvillage]

I do believe the cars will swing to some degree

[@sjesgreg]

Something like F.L.Y. would be a great coaster to honor Big Bad Wolf. If it was fling through the village scenery and terrain t it would be excellent. We had XLR-8 in Houston at Astroworld and it was somewhat fun but missed the mark. I always wanted to ride BBW because it seemed like they got it right there.

[@TimothyChapman]

This coaster better be free-swinging or it's not the spiritual successor to Big Bad Wolf. That coaster was my favorite and I'm still salty about what Busch Gardens put in its place.

[@heatherfrye4991]

I rode the Big Bad Wolf when I was 10 or 11 years old. First big coaster.

[@MattMcCoasters]

I think the next top tier coaster is still in progress somewhere not 2025 now but I think they got a deal with BGT for one of these coasters and it fit the Big Bad Wolf so well they decided on that for now till either the Gwazi situation is settled or something new comes up. I would be very shocked if the coaster after this one is not something more thrilling. That being said I'm a Dad and this coaster will be one of my sons favorites I can tell so Im not too upset about it.

I can see the argument about seaworld & RMC payment issue. However that being said to many people are trying to be optimistic about this addition and not being logical about the repercussions of this addition. Yes it will bring in families but also BGW needs to tread lightly when it comes to these family additions, case and point Kings Dominion, when they kept adding Planet snoopy additions the park it took a big hit attendance wise to the point that TT didn’t do anything for their attendance! I just hope BGW doesn’t fall victim to the same sword that KD did back in 2018. All I can say is BGW needs to get that together QUICKLY.

[@TheWillMorris]

I don’t think they will. I think BGW fell victim to Seaworld’s issues in this case. I believe Seaworld stopped progression of the big coaster as the height waiver for 355 was very recently extended. And it was too late for them to develop a new major coaster to have it up 2025. Like I said in the video, a family coaster is not bad if it’s fun like InvadR, Verbolten, and DarKoaster all having long lines because of its presentation so as long as BGW doesn’t fumble on the theming I think it should be okay.

I love the Big Bad Wolf

[@kaileyallen4365]

Love the outlook on the family coaster. just look at Hagrid's! that's a GREAT family coaster; sooo much fun

[@DavidVitrano]

I would love to see this RMC version, of the old Drachen Fire coaster come to this park. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKOog2iZj5Wanck But he first hill where it has that famous first dive roll inversion, then a camelback airtime hill and a cobra roll. As a great way to pay tribute to what this coaster is representing. Also, add in the last two corkscrews and cutback as well. I would also love to see the Big Bad Wolf come back as a custom layout S&S Axis coaster. Using all the elements of this layout, along with these two layouts.

I Road Both of Them. When i was There

[@riverdalep]

Hope so miss the old bbw.

[@JesseCrowder-qf2pd]

Are they bringing the big bad wolf return at Bush gardens Williamsburg

[@TheWillMorris]

It’s seems to be a possibility kinda, not a direct replica but i’d call it a sequel if it happens

[@darrylellis4809]

They just assed a family coaster. This ride is not gonna get tickets or people coming in. This is a terrible missed opportunity. They should have added a massive RMC to put them on the map. It wouldn’t have cost them as much as giga would have. We have nothing like Steel vengeance or iron Gwazi in the immediate area.

[@TheWillMorris]

I believe this wasn’t solely Busch Gardens’ decision. Many signs were pointing a Giga or RMC coming especially the RMC. They had the height waiver extended very recently. However, RMC and Seaworld are currently in a dispute over the payments for Iron Gwazi so until that’s get resolved, I think Seaworld told Busch Gardens they were not going to greenlight the RMC. And I believe that happened fairly recently so it didn’t give BGW enough time to plan out a major coaster for 2025.

[@darrylellis4809]

@@TheWillMorris Wow that makes perfect sense. Thanks for the information because the decision absolutely makes no sense. Lol
