The Big Bad Wolf: The Wolf’s Revenge | Busch Gardens Williamsburg 2025 Family Inverted Coaster POV

[@johnbartak1232]

Can't replicate the final Big Bad Wolf drop though as Verbolten owns that now.

Screw you Busch Gardens! How dare you use a B&M Family Suspended coaster, instead of using the Concept S&S Axis Coaster! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYiyaHSPeLeUrqcsi=0aOy9MTV8TRFZtI- Using all the elements of these three layouts.

[@thefreckledmom]

They better go ALL OUT for theming on this one especially since they can't use the epic over the water drop!

[@LoveStallion]

We'll see how much Bavarian village actually comes back.... This looks fun, but I'm slightly disappointed that the Festhaus neck of the park will house three family coasters. The spirit of Drachen Fire needs a biggie back there.

[@BrannanR]

This looks like a nice family coaster! From the promo, it should have some nice scenery too!

[@need_more_nanocoasters304]

I’ll be surprised if the track and supports are both red. The park probably just went with the cheapest animation they could get

[@MLDesigns]

I'd rather it not be, but I'm just going off the official animation here.

[@jasonkloos6348]

If they went with the cheapest, they'd have gone No Limits. The color of the supports doesn't change the price.

[@ma9c]

⁠exactly, it's not that hard just to change the color setting of the material in any modeling and rendering software.

[@Boofski]

@@ma9cwdym swiping the mouse across the screen and clicking 2 options to change the colour costs at minimum 20k

[@lymanlawrence777]

Well they have the official short little video on their page but this one and a few other of the 3-D animation of potential track layout is all fan made!!

[@estroger]

It should’ve been the “Return of Big Bad Wolf” 🐺🐺🐺

[@myorangecrush]

Agree, I Like keeping Big Bad Wolf in the title instead of German iterations. Although I see they're want to keep the theming with the 2 of the other coasters.

How about "Big Bad Wolf Rises"

the pacing looks very good just like phoenix rising. i hope it actually gets theming

Dad-gum better have some great theming, queue line and on-ride.

[@Rohrbach00]

@@VECTOR_Coasters I was just about to say the exact same thing! Wouldn’t you love to see the trains going through a mock Bavarian Village like what we had on the BBW? I know I would!

[@themeparkreconnoiter9787]

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay has too many bird names. They should've went with Pantheon "God of Egypt Mythology" for the coaster name instead of a Phoenix

[@Rohrbach00]

@@themeparkreconnoiter9787 The problem is, Busch Gardens Tampa isn’t country themed like Busch Gardens Williamsburg is

[@david_king_music]

Idk, this looks great to me, and I'm a 40 year BGW rider. I see the quotes of the original, it doesn't look weak, BBW wasn't fast but it was nimble, and this seems pretty agile. Imagine it at night, trees bordering the site, real landscaping... and I don't need every ride to rip my face off, they just did Pantheon which is pretty wild. I can appreciate coasters for other reasons, plus my daughter might want to go on it with me for once 😅

[@ThrillRider247]

I literally drop my phone when I saw this I was like omggggggg ..this is everything...if the end up doing the scenery like big bad wolf..this will be epiccccc.. period 💯💯🎤🔥🔥😍😍😍

[@MostChillMatt]

what this was just announced, crazy speed!

[@MLDesigns]

I had it this layout cooking behind the scenes for a while. It's close enough that I felt great about doing a quick color change and a POV for it!

[@Coaster_cow]

They have enough family coasters😫 a Mack xtreme spinner would fit perfectly in bgw

[@Rohrbach00]

@@Coaster_cow A little extra family can’t hurt, can it?? I mean look at BGW’s coaster line up, plenty of high level thrill coasters!

[@Coaster_cow]

@@Rohrbach00 I know but consider the fact that they already have an inverted coaster, and they have 4 family coasters

[@thefreckledmom]

Nostalgia... that's why! They only got rid of BBW due to lack of parts for maintenance and the cost of said maintenance. Now, I agree with you. They need more variety. I think BGW is losing business to Kings Dominion for this reason. What they should've done is had the original BBW redesigned as to not lose its epic, signature drop over the water. Then, moved on to have more variety. While this looks well designed, they'll have to theme the hell out of this for it to be successful for nostalgic sakes!

[@LyndsieDances]

I'm stoked for this boys

[@keonhobgood1551]

So when they remaking dracken fire?

[@jamesd8542]

They need a coaster with an entrance by pompeii towards the front of the park...something that interacts with lochness and the river, flowing through the trees. The germany area has so much going on already and this won't be the same without the last drop down to the water like the original.

[@757vabrezzy5]

I love my home park, but this is a no for me. I'm glad I got to enjoy Big Bad Wolf growing up and seeing how the park has evolved, but I was hoping for something else.

[@Fireintheholekys3552]

I swear if they run this with one train

[@MLDesigns]

They should have 2, I expect them to use both.

[@X98Wolf]

Each lift functions as a block, so they *could* run up to three trains. They probably won't though...

[@Fireintheholekys3552]

Remember this is sea world we’re talking about

[@tjwoolf22]

The original had 2 trains. I don't see why this wouldn't. I'm about to look up comparisons between the original and the new one. I really thought that Busch Gardens, having a vote to name the new ride was a ridiculous idea or a blatant attempt at a money grab. The whole background story for the "new" ride is literally a few words different than the original ride's that you heard standing in line. Does anyone remember that a few months ago when they had the ride naming vote/contest, that the Big Bad Wolf wasn't even an option? The choices were turned into a sequel chapter title once people were like Wtf?

[@jawharp1992]

First B&M with 2 lifts?

[@jasonkloos6348]

I believe so.

[@alaeriia01]

​@@jasonkloos6348 Yep. Also the second B&M with two propulsion sections (Penguin Trek was the first).

[@AC1097-eb2ss]

​@@jasonkloos6348 That type of train is already on alpengeist and literally hundreds of coasters around the world. Arrow suspended coasters are (sadly) a dying breed and far better suited for family coasters.

[@jasonkloos6348]

@@AC1097-eb2ss literally said they are better. Been doing this for almost 50 years.I even became an engineer because of roller coasters, especially because of Arrows rides in the 80s that nobody else was doing at the time. I got to meet both Ron Toomer as well as Claude and Walter in the early 90s when Cedar Points "Coastermania" was only drawing around 100 people. That's when ERT was actually ERT. So yeah, I've been around awhile.

[@BenjaminAMcKay]

I'm glad they are bringing another coaster to BGW but I never loved the second lift hill on the original TBBW and I know I'm still not going to like the 2nd lift hill on this new ride. The second lift hill breaks the experience for me for the ride. I hope they do something visually with the second half of the ride since it will not feature the iconic drop by the river like the original ride.

[@MRDRAGONFRUIT]

Do you use fvd?

[@MLDesigns]

Nope!

[@MRDRAGONFRUIT]

Wow, that’s impressive!

[@calvinpetty343]

Man, B&M is cooking with their family inverts. Not their regular family coasters though lol. It better be smooth

[@tomkoa521]

Is this the actual animation?? If so, wow.. serious let down.. and what a waste of the biggest space they had left. This could’ve/should’ve been a lot more thought out.. yes, Verbolten was a nod to big bad wolf but the thing that stood out the most was that second drop toward the rhine River.. for them to not do a thing to make that second drop any more thrilling or even appealing is a total let down..

[@lanceflx63]

Instead of a second lift hill, it should be a launch. I mean, it is supposed to be a wolf, right?

[@blakeattig5426]

B&M doesn’t use a launch on their Family Suspended Coaster Model. Plus launched inverted coasters are an extremely rare breed.

[@rogermorrison403]

I like to be positive but this looks very uninspiring. Hopefully the allure of the name is enough to bring new guests in

[@CoasterPlanet]

"North America's longest family inverted coaster" they have an extremely important record

[@grembean]

They should've hired a translator lol. "Wölf" makes zero sense grammatically since there's no Ö in the word Wolf (singular), only in Wölfe (plural). The correct names would be Geisterwolf, Wolfssturm, and Wolfs Reign. Except, I suppose, if they somehow decided to use Wölf as a proper name... which it isn't, and it still wouldn't make sense :D

[@Rohrbach00]

Are you really going to go after amusement parks and judge the roller coaster names they choose? Like seriously, give us a break! We don’t care about the grammar used for the names here and I’m sure Busch Gardens has a valid reason why they came up with them and therefore no translator is needed. This is absolutely ridiculous because one else is being so judgy about this except you

[@smuella]

The reason is that it sounds/reads more german for someone not knowing german and yes, these names are quite stupid. But it's not the first stupid name there.

[@fablecio]

​@@Rohrbach00 To be fair Busch gardens markets itself on its European theming so a certain level of authenticity should be expected.

[@coasterviking305]

Yes, sure the land could’ve housed a much bigger coaster like an RMC, but if they can do great theming & landscaping on this ride (which sounds like they will) and get the word out, this might actually work very well! I really hope there’s onboard audio. Plus all these family coaster attempts this park does don’t…usually…work in terms of thrill level (Verbolten) so maybe they’ve figured it out

[@NewDecade-gh6lg]

Honestly if this is the ride, looks kinda boring. No loops no launches an 40mph? Womp womp. Cool for the kiddos tho
