- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 มิ.ย. 2024
- This was a BIZARRE day... we started things off with the whole park closed due to a Tornado in the area, later got an incredible fireworks ride on Verbolten, and then ended things out with a very bizarre ride on Apollo's Chariot!

You could say the guys on appolo’s chariot are “pretty high up”
puns, puns, puns.
Why drink and drive, if you can smoke and fly Apollo's Chariot ;-)
Would one venture to say they were zooted?
bru💀
Passing a "cigarette" around
riding apollo’s chariot during the evening time just hits different
Very agreeable, back row on Apollo at night is next level
Facts!!
Same with nitro
It do tho
That’s the case with a lot of B&M hypers.
You are so lucky to have BGW as a home park. I hope you never take it for granted and get bored with how excellent a park it is. The coasters are all so photogenic, the theming is just half a notch below Disney/Universal, the food is higher tier for a theme park and there is really something for everyone. Also, Celtic Fyre is Dollywood level entertainment.
They just need to do something with DarKastle. It was super sad when they closed it and BGW ought to have dark rides. Either bring it back or make a sequel type ride.
Pretty cool to hear since bgw is my homepark too
bgw is my homepark as well
Yeah my home park is Frontier City in Oklahoma so I didn’t have anything growing up. 😂
I used to go a lot but then I got a dog but we recently went back and I have been to universal but personally I think Bwg is the best place on earth
trust me it gets boring after a while
That weather warning was so crazy! Imagine you were riding Apollo’s Chariot and you just saw a tornado in the distance 😂
thanks for the nightmare fuel!!!!!
@@kristiannawebster2585 oops
had something similar happen but instead it was a thunderstorm
@@yungzen2425 since writing this comment I have had a similar thing happen! I was at Thorpe Park in the UK and was on Stealth. As we were cresting the top of the ride, in the distance we saw a massive lightning strike hit a few miles away out of nowhere and immediately the rides had to be shut down. Thankfully the storm only lasted a few hours so they opened again later on
OH GOD
*Last ride of the night on Apollo’s Chariot*
“WHAT THE GP!”
Ikr
It's anmes after the god of the sun, and they ride it at night (ik that's not the point of the joke but double irony)
🤣
BGW had some amazing night rides! Alpengeist, Apollo’s, Loch Ness, and Verbolten especially
Went there today! I honestly like griff more than apollo lmao
That’s sad that Loch Ness was down it’s HAULING. This year it’s been running amazing!!
sit in the front it will eject you...which really hurt my knees
Ik went on it last week and it was really smooth and fast, still one of the best!
yeah and when i got a backrow ride last night it was very smooth
2019 it tried to break my neck. Especially the spiral
I'm so happy to hear that--this is an old sentimental favorite of mine and I occasionally wonder if it holds up.
Woah didn’t know escape from Pompeii still had the old pyrotechnics 11:15
If you're wondering why verbolten's roof is gone. It is because it got partially blown off by a storm in like late April, so they decided to take it all off.
Also, former Finnegan flyer ride op here. We have had so many issues with people vaping on the ride.
Oh my word-
I have no words because of that, I'm speechless
ooo can u give us more tea of the park please? also did they fix the roof? what u think of the disability line skip passes?
@Alyssa Rasmussen yes, they did fix the roof, like last week... the disability passes work fairly well, but the problem Is, I feel like sometimes they get exploited a lot
@@connorgreenleaf1296 thank u so much for the fast reply! also that's so funny how they literally just fixed it last week! XD
and yeah true i was told they get exploited a lot.. i was actually taken off of the program once even though i have an official autism diagnosis and i take prozac.. i also have medicaid and SSI.. so no worries i don't exploit it.. my parents don't go on the rides anyway and i also have an older sister who's in the program who also has autism and i have a little sister but she doesn't have autism and that's all..
what a huge coincidence that they literally just fixed the roof XD also tomorrow i'm going to busch gardens williamsburg with F.A.C.T which is an program with people who have autism so hi if i see you! XD there's going to be a lot of people but we'll be in groups.. because there's adults and kids (13-18) and (19-49) :D
I feel so bad for that guy who was right behind you on Griffon…he looked so terrified and uncomfortable the entire time😭💀
Tornado warnings often are issued based on atmospheric conditions (rotation seen in the atmosphere) and may not be visible without using satellite or radar
They should rename it to “Stoners Chariot”
Underrated comment
I love the on ride camera with you 👍🏼👏🏼😂
I've seen people singing Sweet Caroline in line for Maverick and a guy swinging his shirt in the air on Magnum's brakes, but your last Apollo's Chariot ride should count as a new credit for its weirdness.
I was there that day, we came over from Water Country when the tornado warning went off. They didn't have anyone to even scan our passes to get in. They said take shelter so we walked over to Alpengeist and "took shelter" in the front row line. Lol 2nd train after reopening!
yeah i was there working at marco polo and that's the day i found out what code black was
So, they just let you guys in the park for free?
@@boardwalker1997 there was no one at any post so we walked in. Not a big deal because we are SeaWorld Platinum holders. BGW is my home park, I am about 30-40 minutes from it.
@@diemeow same i live about 30 mins from bgw
“They are beyond your reach” god I missed dark castle . The final spinning section of that dark ride used to make me so sick
I remember being terrified of Curse of DarKastle as a kid. It was good and all, but I just didn't like the spooky stuff. I wish I could have ridden it again when I wasn't scared of that sort of thing.
It was one of my favorite non-coaster rides. It's a shame they tore it down.
I don’t remember the ride much, I just remember the line was hella long whenever I went.
Unpopular opinion - I couldn't stand DarKastle. It gave me a headache every time. I only rode it to stand in the AC while in line. I just closed my eyes the whole time lol
I remember I hated it when I was young. worst part was when the skeletons would throw the knives and stuff at you
I miss Mystic Timbers too. It's been 4 days since I've been on it and I won't be able to ride again until tomorrow.
…it’s only 4 days-
Lol
"They're selling chocolates!" Love it!
A right of passage growing up around here is to work here as a teenager. I worked carts in New France all the way back in 87.
Interesting that Sarah's last visit was 2012. Mine was too. Back then I was too short to ride most of the coasters. I only rode Nessie, Verbolten, and Grover's Alpine Express.
Wait until pantheon opens, bc its going to no doubt be the best coaster there
These parks have eliminated so many family rides that only young people and older adults without health problems are the ones that can ride roller coasters. All the dark rides, virtual rides, etc are gone and not worth paying so much to go there.
Well, "La Victoire" means the victory in French, which makes sense because it's in the New France area.
7:23 Lol that worker in the background was working the line when we went a couple weeks ago, we had fast passes and he crossed off Mach Tower so we could ride Verbolten more than once. Pretty chill dude.
If those guys were passing that cigarette around on the ride then it probably wasn’t a cigarette at all 🤣 well it was but it doesn’t have tobacco in it!
Loved the on ride footage today! Wish we could have that at every park!
That battle for eyre blows. They need to bring back darkastle
Honestly I’d love to see both battle for eire and darkastle reopen but I kinda doubt that’s the case because in the battle for sure building there was a howl-o-scream maze and at darkastle the same thing, it’s just sad to see them go, and I loved both rides
1:14, you can see a typical vlog bomber... Ya gotta love em, and if you don't deal with it
My first Army assignment was at Fort Monroe, VA. My car could practically drive to BGW by itself! 😁. I haven’t been in years, but I still have great memories of the park, even the especially painful Drachen Fire. HAH!
This reminds me of that one time my friends and I got the entire train on Orion's lifthill to do the Macarena
At once an entire line for the beast started singing livin on a prayer
Great Vlog you guys! I love both of your energy’s
No lie, this was a fun vlog! Look like ya'll had a great time. Also, Apollo night ride sounds like something I need to aim for.
My family stopped by Busch Gardens on the way home from Canada one year. We were there for a day, and at the end everyone was tired. I wanted to ride Pompeii but no one else did so I ran on there alone and got a quick ride before we left. The next morning, I woke up and my eyes were swollen shut from something in the water.
I couldn’t imagine sitting with this guy he’s literally not scared of anything
This is my favorite home park! Lived here for years live just an hour away! Been there multiple times in my life! I absolutely love this park with all my heart! I’m gonna be heartbroken they remove apollos chariot! It’s my favorite ride!
There used to be this roller coaster called Draconfire back in the 90s. The only thing I remember about it is that at the end of the ride it would shake so bad that you would bash your head side to side on the restraint.
Great Vlog! Stinks that Busch/Seaworld are waiting till 2022 to unleash their 4 new toys!
Taylor, I’ve gotta know : 12:36-12:44
Did you just perfectly splice going down the biggest drop right into a break run on purpose? If so, bravo my man. Bravo. Clean as hell
Lol was like “wow what a short coaster”
Same - I went to BGW a week later and I was like “oh wait there’s more…”
Gosh, everything has gone Bizarre at Busch Gardens Williamsburg! But oh well, at least you and Sarah had a good time riding on the roller coasters at Busch Gardens Williamsburg! Especially both of you got wet on that boat ride on 11:28, that was hilarious!!! 😂😂😂
My guess is the county the park is in probably had a tornado warning and since the alarms would go off for the entire county, only a portion of it was in real danger. I’m very pleased regardless to see them take severe weather seriously.
I’m getting major Michael Scott and Holly Flax vibes from 12:30 haha
If you are aren’t seeing Celtic Fyre every time you go, you are missing the slappiest of a the slappy theme park shows.
My wife and I just did some BGW night rides as well this last friday night. Loved Apollo as usual, you are right it's pitch black back there! Also was surprised by a really fun rear outside seat ride on Griffon - was better than I recall!
I was at this park a few weeks ago and it was the best experience I had at an amusement park in a long time. Every coaster was open and was a walk on, I walked on to the front of griffon! zero wait, it was a great day. little bit of rain but not bad at all. staff was great also. Last time I was there before was in 2007 when griffin was new
Last time I was at BGW was in May of 99 when Apollo's Chariot opened. I need to get back there. It's been way too long. I'm still sad they removed and replaced Big Bad Wolf though :(
Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.
Thank you for doing POV’s on your rides!
Funny story, I was there that day. And I saw you on the bridge between for Verbolton and alpengist.
Great Vlog! Hopefully Pantheon will actually open 2022. Also how did you film on the coasters, does BGW allow cameras on rides?
It’s always nice to hear Raging Bull getting some love 🥰 What is Sarah’s favorite invert??
That chocolate reference from Spongebob on Alpengeist and that was hilarious.
I got the last 3 rides on Apollo's in August of 2019 and the ride op's kept pumping us up each time saying "What the best coaster of BG?! APOLLO's CHARIOT!! You know what??" "What?" "Let's give them one more ride!" *Screamsss* That last ride of the night was wilddddd. Everyone was screaming like wild animals. It was intense, something I never experienced before. If you were on this last ride with me, you know if you know.
Since they were passing it around, I think maybe not a conventional cigarette? Good grief that's wild, though!
Went for the first time since 2005 in the middle of August this year. By far one of the most photogenic parks in the world.
I love the water rides especially Griffon and Pompeii
Do you still talk to takoda. I wanna hear his voice again 😂
I know those night rides are awesome. But the laser show is so worth seeing, I miss the night rides every time.
Can’t wait to get back there this weekend 🥃
Favorite BGW memory was night rides on Griffin during their fireworks back in 2019! 🙌
I actually got the fireworks finale on my Pantheon ride on Sunday. It's gonna be hard to ever top that.
Alpengeist is an awesome night ride as well. My favorite at the park.
Are you planning on posting a video about your newfound appreciation for the retracked Great Nor'Easter like you did on Insta?
yes!
I agree 100% AC night ride is definitely 🔥, currently my #1 night ride
Busch Gardens is my favorite park ever, but I sure do miss the live entertainment. They use to have Broadway quality shows throughout the park. Not so much anymore.
7:24 That had to be my favorite blog moment 😂
The apollos chariot slander is crazy. Best B&M hyper.
I've only been on Mako, Diamondback, Candy, Behemoth, Intimidator, and Apollo. I also ranked them from best to least good. Cause yanno. All B&M hypers are great rides. But it's the least great
I second what James said, but then again I've only been on 3 (Mako, Intimidator, Apollo's Chariot). I LOVE the scenery in the ride, makes it feel really special. But the ride itself is pretty tame compared to the other 2. Still incredible though, I made sure to lap that thing 6 times last time I went!!
“Camping is intense” 😂😂 I laughed out loud
I feel like, "can I eat it, are you done filming it?" gets said often lol
We are going today and tomorrow. Can’t wait it will me our first time. It’s raining right now and 45 degrees outside but it should stop raining around 3. We are still ripe dropping the park so we can sight see before the rain let’s up. Happy it gets dark at 5pm this time of year. We’ll get to do a lot of night rides.
i love a good "weird day at x"-vlog!
7:47 I love this dude's face
I SUPER DOOPER LOVE Verboltem!!
DEF one of my favorites
I had the chance to ride it for an hr straight w/ ACE the last time I was there over a decade ago!!
Any opinion about wicket twister at cedar point being removed and what do you project is going to be the new coaster or new ride?
My family used to go to Busch gardens every year when I was around 5. And there was only around 5 coasters then. PA to VA took like 5 hours and I was too young to go on the coasters.
Little fun fact on invadR: invadR uses the flyer trains from gwazi
Haha the nexus event. That means I could ride Pompeii as much as I want and it wouldn’t effect the timeline!
You sure that was a cigarette they were smoking?
A left handed cigarette
Your lame jokes with each other make my day
I remember that day I met you two right outside the exit of Griffon
I think I was there the SAME day because I remember visiting and then going under a tornado warning. Wish I could’ve met y’all!
Love the vids! Keep up the good work! I really love this park so its really fun to see you guys do a video on it.
Big Bad Wolf had the best night ride.
I miss that ride lol
I know you don’t review water rides but I would love for you to review escape from Pompeii haha that’s a childhood favorite of mine
The HalloScream there is also absolutely a fantastic time.
Fun fact, the “event” for battle for ire is Accually been down because of there new haunted house at hollow scream
Yep, the Killarney diner maze, there could be a chance that battle for Eire could make a comeback or it would just close without no warning just like what happened to darkastle
On the night rides at Busch Gardens Williamsburg the ride ops always hype the entire train up
I was just here at busch gardens yesterday with my family, Very good theme park to go to 😌
I can't wait to get to this Park :)
I haven't been back to BGW since childhood; I'm long overdue for a revisit :)
As someone from Oklahoma, tornadoes don’t require rain, dark clouds, or advance warning from high winds. They can be invisible and move faster than a car can drive. When you hear a tornado warning, it’s always best to take cover until the risk is gone.
Was there for Christmas 2021. Wasn't open all the way as far as restaurants and food in general. Most of the rides were open. Night rides a plenty. Christmas Town lights are beautiful! Sky lift was open all night and fireworks in the rain. Great night. My home park as well.
Just found the channel and I am loving it. CAROWINDS is my home park which is 3 hours away 😆
BGW looks like an amazing park but Pantheon will just get it to the next level
This used to be my home park, but I suspect the last time I was there was before either of you were born.
(it was while Drachen Fire was still running)
Dude the tornado warning was pretty crazy no tornado but heavy rain for us and i went there today its amazing i rode griffon for the first time :D
I know this video came out a year ago but when I went for spring break a few weeks ago (for one day) Pantheon was closed as well. Also BGW is one my two home parks with Kings Dominion!
10:28 I was half-expecting Ryan's *KRKTKRTLKRTK* sound effect when the train hit that trim brake.
Night ride on Apollo is a 9. It's an 8 in the day, those trimmed hills in the second half are fun but weak minus that last drop, that one is nice.
Nice Nexxus reference! Like acheived!
I’m going again tomorrow, hopefully I can get a lot of rides on Apollo’s chariot
I’m going to Busch gardens next week, kinda sad pantheon likely won’t be open. Anyone have a clue when it’s gonna open?
