Return of the Wolf: North America's Longest Inverted Family Coaster Unleashes Chaos at Busch Gardens Williamsburg
The howl of nostalgia echoes through the woods of Busch Gardens Williamsburg as the park unveils its most immersive family attraction yet – The Big Bad Wolf: The Wolf's Revenge. Inspired by The Big Bad Wolf, an iconic roller coaster that thrilled generations of park guests from 1984 to 2009, this all-new family inverted coaster delivers a modern twist on a timeless tale.
Set in a bustling Bavarian village preparing for the legendary Festival of the Silent Bells, the festive atmosphere quickly turns to mayhem as glowing red eyes and bone-chilling howls signal the return of a terrifying creature. Riders will embody the wolf itself, dashing through the German countryside across more than 2,500 feet of track at speeds up to 40 miles per hour.
For decades, The Big Bad Wolf was a beloved part of Busch Gardens Williamsburg, known for its daring swoops through quaint villages and over the Rhine River. The Big Bad Wolf: The Wolf's Revenge captures that same spirit of adventure, bringing its story to a new generation of thrill-seekers. Featuring a family-friendly design, this ride is accessible for kids as small as 42 inches with a supervising companion and 48 inches on their own. Whether reliving cherished childhood memories or experiencing the magic for the first time, this is a journey for everyone.
