Busch Gardens Williamsburg introduces a reimagined version of a beloved classic coaster, The Big Bad Wolf: The Wolf’s Revenge, originally debuted more than 40 years ago. This brand-new, family-friendly rollercoaster brings family travelers across more than 2,500 feet of track at up to 40 mph … and the drop alone will leave riders howling.

Located in a haunted Bavarian village within the park’s Germany section, this new ride lets visitors become the Big Bad Wolf himself, venturing through a foggy forest and abandoned towns.
The inverted rollercoaster’s opening comprises part of the park’s official 50th Anniversary Celebration, and officially opens May 23. Riders must be a minimum of 42 inches with a companion.
