We are participating in the Blogging from A to Z Challenge again this year. The theme for this year is our Favourite Travel Spots in North America. Join us throughout the month of April as we revisit some of our favourite travel spots. No boarding pass, visa or passport needed!
The locations we feature are all places we have visited and the photos are ones taken by myself or Amanda (or possibly one of our family members)
Our first stop on the tour are a favourite for guests young and old. With all of the different rides, shows and other attractions there is plenty for everyone in your group to enjoy. Our home park Busch Gardens Williamsburg is the feature of today's post.
The park features 8 coasters and dozens of other rides and attractions. It is themed on several European countries and the theming is among the best you will see anywhere. It has won the Most Beautiful Theme Park award many times.
Favourite Ride(s) My favourite ride is Apollo's Chariot as it is a smooth ride, lots of speed and air time.

ReplyDeleteI went to high school near Williamsburg. We would cut class my senior year and go to the park (we had a seasons pass), and ride the Loch Ness Monster over and over again. I have fond memories of that place :) Thanks for visiting my blog, and I'm looking forward to reading your posts!
ReplyDeleteA park I have visited a few times in my youth, I need to revisit
ReplyDeleteI had an annual pass to Busch Gardens when I lived in Williamsburg in the 90s. I enjoyed many rides on the Loch Ness Monster and the Big Bad Wolf, which sadly is no longer there.
ReplyDeleteHi Liam and thank for stopping by. The Big Bad Wolf was one of our favourite too. Verbolten the ride that replaced has some of the features from the Big Bad Wolf including the final drop but its not quite the same.
