Hey!

 

This free season pass contest is a great idea!!!!

 

Peace, Big Mike

[NegaDuck]

Thanks Mike!

 

Have you seen some of the entries thus far? This one is awesome:

The rides at Busch Gardens are the hotness

From Griffin to Apollos Chariott to Lochness

The ride I look forward to the most out of them all

Is the Griffin because of that awesome first fall

The ride time on Griffin though is rather lame

but still puts BG's other coasters to shame

 

And Yoda entered the contest, too:

 

This park, good and beautiful it is.

Many times, have I been.

The Five, I have conquered.

Loch Ness, (a name descriptive it is), the oldest it is, and turns and twists it does.

Big Bad Wolf, (the tamest of the lot), scary it is not, unless ride in the back someone does.

Alpengeist, (a true adventure heist), the most violent it is, you bones it shakes, yet the soul it thrills.

Apollo's Chariot, (the breath it steals), its hills do thrill, and the sensation of flying it gives.

Griffon, (the king undisputed), like a fighter it swoops, my favorite it is.

To Bush Gardens I shall return, the king of parks with the king of coasters.

May the force be with you! Always!

Alright I just have to share this one with you guys. The eventual winner of the BGW fan page contest, Ben Sutton submit this gem.

 

"Kid Rock's "All Summer Long" dedicated to my favorite ride, the Griffin."

It was 2008, my excitement was high my gas was low

I barely made it to Busch Gardens that day

All those coasters were on my mind

It was Summertime in Williamsburg, VA

Ahh Ahh Ahh

Ahh Ahh Ahh

 

Doing the loops on Lochness

Flying through the air on Griffin

It's the great things about that park, like shows and rides

I didn't have a free pass

But man I never will forget

Going down that big drop with such pride

 

[Chorus:]

And I was riding different things

I was eating expensive things

Watching shows at the big theatre doing my favorite song

Sipping beer out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow

Riding that Griffin all summer long

Riding that Griffin all summer long

 

Waiting patiently in that line

Hoping that it's for a short time

That coaster will forever hold a spot inside my heart

I would get on that Griffin

I would ride it again and again

Screaming my lungs out and my arms up apart

 

And I was riding different things

I was eating expensive things

Watching shows at the big theatre doing my favorite song

Sipping beer out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow

Riding that Griffin all summer long

Riding that Griffin all summer long

 

Now nothing seems as strange as when the leaves began to change

Or how we thought those days would never end

Sometimes I'll think about that coaster and I'll start to get excited

And think man I'd love to ride that Griffin again

 

[Repeat Chorus x2]

 

Riding that Griffin all summer long

Riding that Griffin all summer long

Riding that Griffin all summer long

Riding that Griffin all summer long

It would be nice if they could at least spell Griffon correctly, but nonetheless, those were pretty creative.

Cmon, give the guy credit. There's a similar contest going on on Gadling right now - check it out.
