They still have the new flash opening. I really don't think most people care about the rest of the rides and it's not like most were even open last year. Will people travel in for the park? Probably not but it's always been a regional park anyway so I don't think attendance is gonna be that different. It's still the best local park in this area.

Makes sense, the local police announced the wrong time and then they did it earlier to keep the crowds away. I'm sure people are going to be salty about that lol Here's a video...

Tomorrow's the day and everyone can finally move on. Between 9am and 10am they are imploding the rest of what's standing.

Just got an email that my memberships are going up to $12.99 in April. I'm probably canceling before that. Simply don't go enough to justify paying that much even though it's not that far.

There's some days with $69 or $79 for general admission with one time access to each house but yeah I think that should really have unlimited access for that price. At least that I could justify a bit. Plus how many times are people really going to go through the same 4 houses? The vast majority would maybe go through 2x. Once to see how it is and once to see if they missed anything on the second time. Maybe they go to their favorite house a 3rd time? The unlimited cheapest price is $99. I paid $80 the last time I went to Halloween Horror nights in Orlando in 2023 and that was unlimited access to all the houses plus access to rides, scare zones and shows. I know it's Vegas and things are more expensive but geez. The biggest difference and plus about this would be at the very least there should be no conga lines like there are in Orlando so this should be much more catered to letting the groups in spaced out so they get to experience all the scares properly.

Gotta be pretty fun to be a team member and one of the first to experience a completely brand new park before everyone else. Pretty rare these days to get that opportunity. I'm looking forward to going but will probably wait till maybe Jan/Feb of 2026 if they have just single day tickets for Epic available then. Right now you have to buy multi day tickets that include the other parks.

I'm with you on a lot of this but saying you wouldn't be sad if the park was just leveled is just silly talk. The park has its up and downs but it's still always been a fun place to go that is local and it would be absolutely horrible to have it ever close. I know we have other parks semi close to us but most of them turn into trips that are miserable to do there and back in the same day.

Just got an email about this. Is this the first time they had passes that covered the whole year? I know they have had a few they would cover certain months. They also say blackout dates may apply. I still haven't been to either of these parks despite not living far from them, maybe this year I'll make it there but there's 0 chance I buy a season pass anyway. $250 for the theme park. https://www.americandream.com/venue/annual-thrill-pass/tickets?utm_source=braze&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=blast_AnnualPass_20250103 $299 for the water park https://www.americandream.com/venue/annual-splash-pass/tickets?utm_source=braze&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=blast_AnnualPass_20250103

I always had fun on the ride but would never wait more than 15-20 minutes for it. That being said Universal has no issues with getting rid of old rides and this ride is 16 years old now. Really curious to see what they end up doing with the whole area. They still need to get rid of the awful fast and the furious ride too, I'm amazed it's been open as long as it has at this point.

There's a post in the Facebook groups of someone getting a response from someone at the park that Zumanjaro is being removed too and it's all being removed so guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Green Lantern says "retired" too so who knows. I just don't think it's a big deal but I didn't like or care about most of these rides anyway so I'm fine with it. Green lantern has always been awful, parachutes line took forever even with only a few people on the line. Twister is whatever. The skyride when it was actually open would take longer to get on half the time then just walking across the park. It's not like the park is just removing stuff and never replacing anything. Ka will be back in some variation in 2026, new flash ride will be open next year. The park could have just gotten rid of all it and never replaced anything and still got decent crowds so at least they are still putting some money back into the park.

The full release mentions Green Lantern officially being retired as well

I don't feel like I complain much at all about rides being miserable but this ride always banged my head around and was super uncomfortable for my legs any time I actually went on it. I'd have avoided it completely if I didn't take family and friends to the park who wanted to try it.

This is a great replacement to what was there. I wonder if Williamsburg adds one of these now to replace Battle of Eire.

Busch Gardens Williamsburg has announced a new family inverted coaster coming to the park in 2025, inspired by and continuing the story of the former Big Bad Wolf coaster. The title of this new coaster has not been finalized and the park is looking for a popular vote between three possible names... https://buschgardens.com/williamsburg/vote2025/ New Attraction - Coming 2025 In 2025, riders become the beast on Busch Gardens' all-new family-friendly inverted roller coaster. Long ago, a wolf swept through a Bavarian town, turning townsfolk to werewolves and destroying the village. Forty years later, it’s time to honor the past during the annual Festival of the Silent Bells. The area is quiet at first, but strange noises are soon heard… footsteps and growling, then bright red eyes appear. The wolf has returned. An exhilarating adventure across the German countryside awaits guests in 2025 when riders become the beast on Busch Gardens’ all-new family-friendly inverted roller coaster. As the sound of screams and the echo of a howling wolf creates chaos in the familiar town, riders will experience over 2,500 feet of track traveling up to 40 miles per hour while bolting through the streets of an abandoned Bavarian village. Busch Gardens is giving guests the rare opportunity to help pick the name of this new immersive coaster. Now through September 25, guests can select their favorite name from three options: WölfSturm meaning Wolf Storm WölfsReign meaning Wolf's Reign GeisterWölf meaning Ghost Wolf
