Visiting One Of The Best Theme Parks in the US! - Busch Gardens Williamsburg 2024 Vlog

[@AngeloGiles]

That heat got y’all lol, I was in Texas a few weeks ago, and that heat was in another level, legit triple digits with humidity 🥵 But VA can definitely get hit and humid. AC is just too tame for me, I do love the ending lol, I was standing in the same spot in Pantheon queue for like five minutes baking lol. The drop on Verbolten still gets me to this day haha. You know it’s hot when you decide to either get on a water ride or stand in the splash zone 😅great vlog as always.

Definitely thought of you man!! Yeah it was brutal lmao, thank god for all the shade. You’re the best Angelo!

[@MidcourseDiscourse]

BGW is definitely one of my highest bucket list parks in the US… glad yall had a good time, and survived through the heat!

[@coaster365]

😰😅 - thank you haha, you’ll absolutely love BGW!

[@brianmacdonald7297]

I haven't been back to BGW since my first visit with Buzzed Bars a few years back, and I really should. It's just the right distance for me where it's too far for a day trip, but too close to make a trip in itself. I do appreciate the number of trees they have there. That's an example other parks should follow.

[@coaster365]

Soooo much shade it’s amazing, definitely gotta get back there, two new creds for ya!

[@brianmacdonald7297]

@@coaster365 I got Pantheon with BBCC that day. But your statement is still accurate because I skipped Tempesto (you know me and Skyrocket IIs).

[@chadappell2447]

My home park! Pantheon is amazing🙌🏼

[@ThemeParksToTheMax]

Why did I forget you were still making videos Bryant?! These are awesome! Keep up the good work dude!!

[@coaster365]

You know it man!! 💪 Appreciate the kind words!!

Man I can relate with heat doing me in on a park day. No matter how much water I drink, long, hot park days are just not in me anymore. I have to really be careful or else after a couple hours I am cooked.

[@MattMcIrvin]

This was my home park when I was in college, but I haven't been there in the era A. F. (After Fabio).

[@coaster365]

Omg 😂 🐦

If I had to choose between Apollo's Chariot and Nitro, I'd pick Nitro every time.

[@coaster365]

Oh not even a question in my mind

Glad you survived the heat. You can tell you are not a fan of it and were struggling with it. Also, you are one heck of a front runner when you teams do well. You don't miss a beat on kicking an opponent's team when they are down. I think most of your scores for BGW are good. AC is the weakest B&M hyper. It's biggest positive is it's setting. As far as Pantheon goes, the complaints about the theming are over the top as a whole (Not really on your channel as you are reviewing rides and it is valid to compare rides and that is a factor). Your wife deserves to give her opinion the first time she experiences it without question because it is in the moment, but anyone who has experienced it multiple times or comments in other videos has to keep this in mind, BGW built a multi launch Intamin during the pandemic. Supply Chains were a mess during this time frame. The fact it got built was impressive enough. If BGW was sticking to a budget, the cost of the coaster may have increased due to some of the challenges. They probably had to cut cost in other areas. I work in the Supply Chain/Finance/Inventory field and it impacted the company I worked for big time, and we dealt with everyday products that people need, not a luxery item like an Intamin multi launch coaster. Now with all that said, I've rode Toutatis and Pantheon and I clearly prefer Toutatis. Both are great rides. So hopefully in the future BGW will do something more with it, but all things considered it is a great ride. Go find some AC.

[@coaster365]

I mean when they’ve done overall well going on 22 years now… 🤷‍♂️😝. That’s a very good point about the supply chain though, and I do hope in the coming years they can add some shine to Pantheon, even if similar to what they did with Loch Ness!

[@alantrotter2077]

@@coaster365 I think it goes back over 22 years. The transition of how you dinged the eagles was pretty good. I think you have scoreboard on the topic. Struggle to find another city with that much success as a whole when it comes to their sports teams.

[@coaster365]

@@alantrotter2077 LA is the only one that comes close, at least this century. But they also have double the teams

[@kmccurdy21]

I think Seaworld is in pretty big debt too. So theming was probably easy to axe.. Coaster elements are more important anyway.. maybe one day they could add theming idk.

[@kmccurdy21]

What day was this? I went June 17th.

[@coaster365]

June 21st! This past Friday

[@genedilorenzo713]

Like Hershey park and Six Flags, United parks outside of Orlando is doing the same nonsense with there operations hours of 10 to 8 or 10 to something. Busch Gardens Williamsburg is one of United parks flagship parks, these operations hours especially in Williamsburg a tourist area is not good.

[@coaster365]

It does seems true night hours are becoming less and less frequent 😔

[@genedilorenzo713]

@@coaster365 At least Disney for know, is spending money to make Money. The same as Universal, United Parks operate in almost the same areas and Williamsburg market is similar to Orlando as an international tourist area. United needs to spend money to make Money or they should sell back to Busch.
