Busch Gardens Williamsburg?

[Kathy Jetson]

Hi all! I am going to Busch gardens in Williamsburg in June. Can anyone who has been there give me any info or tips on it? Like do they have anything like a fastpass? Anything a 6yr old should not miss? Any tips for things I can look for around the park that are not advertised? I am also looking for a place to stay very close nothing fancey we are on a budget but maybe with a cont. breakfast?

Thankyou for any help you can give me. We will be there for 2 days is that enough time to do everything without being rushed or should I make it 3 days?

We usually stay at the Hampton Inn when we are in Williamsburg (has free breakfast.)

There is a pay to cut program at BGW but no free program like Fastpass.

Colonial Williamsburg, Water Country USA and Busch Gardens offer a (I think its still called this) "Revolutionary Fun Pass" for around $99 you can get a 7 day free parking unlimited park hopper, this pays for itself with one visit to each park.

Do not miss rides at BGW:

-All of their roller coasters are amazing but he will probably not meet the height limit for Apollo's Chariot, Griffon or Alpengeist.

-They have a new Sesame Street Section in England that is supposed to be amazing

-If he can deal with this ride, Escape from Darkastle is a very amazing ride. It has a ride system like IOA's Spiderman (its a 4-D Simulator Drop (simulated) ride.)

-Dont miss the Oktoberfest show in Germany, its a lot of fun.

-Escape from Pompeii-Is a Shoot the Chutes ride with an pyro filled upper section which simulates you escaping from Pompeii as Vesuvius erupts, its really fun.

If you can afford it try to stay some more days there is a lot to see in Williamsburg, we usually stay for 5 days.

Thankyou so much. I will check out the Hampton Inn and look into the $99 pass that sounds like a great deal I think we will stay 3 days. I'm sure ds will want to go on everything he is tall enough to ride. I can't wait!

I heard they had a character breakfast there. Do you know anything about it?

While I came really close to going last summer (had done all the research and was ready to book) I ended up not being able to go. I haven't been since they put in Big Bird and Pals.
