Ranking EVERY Coaster at Busch Gardens Williamsburg (2025)

Busch Gardens Williamsburg is a theme park located in Williamsburg, Virginia just 60 miles Northwest of Virginia Beach. The park was developed by Anheuser-Busch and is owned by United Parks & Resorts formerly known as SeaWorld Entertainment. Busch Gardens Williamsburg is home to 11 current operating roller coasters and is celebrating their 50th Anniversary this year. So I thought that it would be the perfect time to rank all of their current coasters since this is also my home park. Busch Gardens Williamsburg keeps constantly adding on to their lineup more and more each year or so. This mainly goes to them for their 50th Anniversary, and for being The Most Beautiful Theme Park for 35 consecutive years. But also because this is my home park, and was much needed. The park opened on May 16, 1975, adjacent to Anheuser-Busch's brewery and near its other developments, including the Kingsmill Resort complex. The park, originally named 'Busch Gardens: The Old Country', is themed to various European countries. In 1993, the park was renamed to Busch Gardens Williamsburg and briefly named Busch Gardens Europe from 2006 to 2008. In 2015, an estimated 2.78 million people attended the park, ranking 20th in overall attendance among amusement parks in North America.

This event celebrates Irish culture in all ten hamlets (or lands) throughout the month of March, featuring Irish-themed cuisine, music, live entertainment, and special events, as well as having the park's various rides in operation. Those attending Das Festhaus will be able to view various Irish stepdance performances that have been shown in the park over the years, including the award-winning Celtic Fyre. Appearances from Virginia's Irish Dance Schools can also be seen in the San Marco Theatre. For younger children, a scavenger hunt is hosted by a leprechaun, Clancy, who is also available throughout the day for photos. For adults, there is a variety of alcoholic beverages available throughout the park, various Guinness products, and green beer.[7] Night of Oktoberfest Night of Oktoberfest is an annual 21-and-up event hosted in the Oktoberfest part of the Germany Hamlet, started in 1976. The event offers German inspired food, alcoholic drinks, a DJ, games, raffles, and use of some select ride attractions in the Germany Hamlet of the park.[8] Christmas Town Christmas Town is the park's Christmas event which began during the 2009 season. Several Christmas and winter holiday-themed attractions and shows are exclusive to the season, including a 50-foot (15 m) Christmas tree called "O Tannenbaum" that lights up in sync to Christmas music in the Oktoberfest hamlet of the park. Each show venue from the park offers a holiday-themed performance during Christmas Town, ranging from reinterpretations of classic Christmas stories (Scrooge No More) to ice skating (Twas That Night on Ice), and a-cappella performances (Gift of Harmony). Many of the flat rides are in operation as well as the park's train, skyride, and roller coasters (traditionally, Verbolten, InvadR and Pantheon since their opening, and recently Apollo's Chariot, though previous Christmas town seasons saw Tempesto, Griffon, and Alpengeist also operate.) During the celebration, the park is decorated with millions of lights and dozens of real Christmas trees. Shopping and dining are also a prominent part of Christmas Town, with many of the park's restaurants offering food and drinks catered to the season and colder weather. The event typically begins from the weekend before Thanksgiving, and continues every weekend until the week before Christmas, where it stays open for the rest of December until a few days after New Year's Day.
