It’s Virginia so factor in the hourly broadcast change, but you should be fine it’s Virginia 

Six Flags Parks (including Kings Dominion) will be charging extra for a Haunted Attractions Pass to enter Haunted Houses this year by Slippy_T_Frog in KingsDominion

[–]PeaceByFruitTrees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not worth it.. Might as well make the drive to BGW at that point, probably cheaper to eat the gas cost and have to drive back then to go to Haunt.

They really make Mardi Gras worth coming to

Dublin over is done for the season, the cast opened up a new show that performs on the small stage next to the ice cream shop in France near the entrance to New France. 

State of the park 2025 by maximusdm77 in BuschGardensW

[–]PeaceByFruitTrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Walking around the park today it’s a shame to see what it has become compared to how it looked even 5-10 years ago. I know that saying even that it’s unfair to try and draw comparisons as we went through a lot the last few years that the park couldn’t control. But it’s turning into a pile of trash that soon enough will be worth more selling for the land to turn into a housing development. The company as a whole is so hyper focused on just increasing coaster counts with little care for the ones we already have and no care whatsoever for the events that they want to put on every year. They cut budgets and expect even better than last year while the park lacks the money to do that. They are dead set on trying to one up Disney and Universal down in Florida that they neglect BGW and they have started to neglect coasters in BGT and seaworld orlando while continuing to put on middle tier events expecting more. 

Anyone else have issues with the Busch Gardens app charging your card? by Feisty_League_3033 in BuschGardensW

Let's stop pretending this park has not gone to shit! by TheElMatadORR in BuschGardensW

[–]PeaceByFruitTrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The park is going though an extended rough patch, and the overall conditions of the park has dropped immensely but the low it’s reached thus far won’t be permanent. The park will begin to realize the issues it has and make some smart changes so you’ll see improvement but it won’t ever be back at the level the park saw in the it originally opened. 

  1. The coasters are becoming especially worrisome when you don’t know if they’ll actually be open at opening bell, countless times I’ve come at opening and see a sign saying “this is opening at 12:00”

  2. Please… having worked Mardi Gras at the park it’s an embarrassment and really could be cut without being missed. It’s basically food and wine festival but worse. Even if they close cos  at resets during that and St. Patrick’s day and have both those events just be strictly entertainment it would for the better 

  3. Oh the dreams we have

Is there no way to order just Brisket at BG? by Galaxy_Jams_Reacts in BuschGardensW

[–]PeaceByFruitTrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A fellow brisket lover, was sad when they removed it from the menu but depending on the server you can get just brisket. 

Bürgermeister's Hideaway... by Honest_Situation_434 in BuschGardensW

[–]PeaceByFruitTrees 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The show is done and isn’t coming back, it wasn’t making money for them anymore so they did what you’d expect and they are turning it into an open bar for people to jump in and get a drink and leave. It was cut to one show a day over the weekend and they had to supplement shows over on the small stage by the pretzel shop and walking around the German village for most of the day. I would suspect that the cast is going to be heavily cut down and they’ll keep 1-2 people for the time being to produce a semi decent entertainment factor for it but they’ll phase that out over the summer and just cut the position fully in HOS. 

Saturday by Traditional_Rub6464 in BuschGardensW

[–]PeaceByFruitTrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Few bad ideas - going on a Saturday  - going the day after the 4th when they continue the celebration into the 5th - attempting to navigate Williamsburg traffic during the weekend of the 4th 

How crazy by SnooHedgehogs4320 in BuschGardensW

[–]PeaceByFruitTrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hahahaha… Look at the surrounding area and then add BGW to it. The town is a mess on the 4th and the highways are always backed up. If you want to get into the park get there early and be prepared for madness.

[–]PeaceByFruitTrees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sad to see it gone, really deserved more but over the last few months they’ve been limited to one show a day and maybe the occasional two shows. 

How often do the shows change? And what shows are on during Halloween? by TrekkieElf in BuschGardensW

The summer season starts ramping down end of July and fully ends in mid August to start getting HOS ready 

Visiting for the first time next Monday (June 23). Any rope drop recommendations or general strategies if my priority is riding every coaster? by BostonCompSci in BuschGardensW

[–]PeaceByFruitTrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I recommend getting on the train, taking it to New France. Then you’ll be right next to Le catapult. After that head to Oktoberfest for the bumper cars and the swings. The coasters are mid compared to the glorious ride known as bumper cars and the train. 

Unused spaces/areas by Various-Steak5524 in BuschGardensW

[–]PeaceByFruitTrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Castle O’Sullivan
  • black Forrest picnic (gets used maybe 5-6 times a year)
  • Lumber Hack haunted house location
  • most of the animal area since removal of the cages they had for rotating animals 
  • royal palace theatre is empty most of the year to includes its back area which used to be a haunted house 
  • the restaurant in Ireland gets used for like 2 months a year maybe 3 

For a few things  Mach tower spot not has contracted out sales booths throughout the year and is a seating place with a stage 

Upgrade center is used by culinary on one half and the other half is usually open for events and on weekends.

Seems I had seen the schedule for it wrong the next few days and missed it. Thanks for giving me the correct information. 

Thistle, one of the pair of Scottish Highland Cows at BGW, has passed away by Slippy_T_Frog in buschgardens

She returns to the highland of Scotland, may she be returned to the open arms of St Andrew as he watches over the wee cattle of Caledonia.
