I LOVE IT! Ever since I can remember, my family has always taken trips to Busch Gardens. For starters, its only a 45 minute drive from my home in Norfolk, VA. As I got older, the frequency of these trips increased significantly, so we started purchasing season passes. These memberships were affordable and convenient, quickly becoming every years Christmas present and a way to fix a boring day. After while, I prided myself as a Busch Gardens enthusiast, developing a liking for every ride there. ACIS 1504 - PowerPoint Presentation Project
Fun Filled Days Every time I go to Busch Gardens, I have an order as to how I go about the day or the time there. Get on Loch Ness Monster, make my way to Apollos Chariot, follow up with Alpengeist, and save Griffon for last. This method is efficient because the park is basically a big circle. *Weather permitting, water rides may be included. Dinner is always eaten after Griffon at Trappers Smokehouse, which is located right across from it Upon exit of the park, I usually get a cup of Cookies & Cream Dippin Dots ice cream to end the trip off right.

APOLLOS CHARIOT This roller coaster is one of the main reasons I love Busch Gardens Williamsburg so much. Not only is it an entertaining ride, but it brings back many memories. From Fabios unfortunate encounter on his ride, to remembering how I caught the beginning of the huge fireworks display as I rode into the night sky, I will forever love Apollos Chariot as my favorite roller coaster.

VERBOLTEN One of the newest additions to Busch Gardens, this ride is hopefully just what Busch Gardens needs to boost its attendance back up. Replacing the classic Big Bad Wolf roller coaster, this multi- launch coaster takes rider on an adrenaline-charged trip through the Black Forest. Although I have not personally experienced it, I cant wait to. ACIS 1504 - PowerPoint Presentation Project
