Busch Gardens: Europe Without a Passport Mar 21, 2008
Busch Gardens in Williamsburg is one of the most beautiful and beautfully maintained theme parks. The theme at the Wiliamsburg, VA, park is Europe. The park is divided into eight theme areas, each with its set of rides, restaurants, shows, and shops. A train runs around the park to connect the themed area.

Banbury Cross (England) is the entance area with the Globe Theater for shows.

Tweedside (Scotland) features the Loch Ness Monster looping roller coaster. The famous Anheuser-Busch Clydesdale horses are on display here, too.

Killarney (Ireland) has Corkscrew Hil, a motion simulation ride over old Ireland and an Irish step dancing show.

The Wild Preserve features a variety of animals and animal shows.

Aquitane (France) has the new Griffon diving roller coaster.

New France (French Canada) features Le Scoot, a log flume ride.

Germany is one of the largest lands with the Alpengeist inverted looping roller coaster, Big Bad Wolf suspension roller coaster, the Rhine Cruise, Curse of DarKastle motion and motion simulation thrill ride, and a perennial favorite, Das Festhaus, with German food and shows. Also in Germany is the children's play area, Land of Dragons, and a carousel.

Festa Italia (Italy) features Apollo's Chariot, a tall roller coaster, Escape from Pompeii water chute, Roman Rapids tube ride, and several smaller themed rides.

Busch Gardens is a favorite and highly recommended for theme park enthusiasts of all ages!

There are two Busch Gardens in the United States, one in Tampa, FL, wich is Africa themed, the other is in Williamsburg, VA, wich is Europe themed, and is the one I am writing about. It is a large amusment park wich has different sections named after the different contries in Eruope. All sections look different from each other and have different rides, shows, and restraunts. I think the biggest roller coaster is called Appolos Chariot, and has a 200 ft drop on it! one of the first roller coasters in the park is called the Lockness Monster, and is perhaps one of the most famous. there is also a hotel on the park for people who want to stay a few days. There are also many show that go on around the park such as animal shows, and dance shows. It is defenintly a memorable experience.

Busch Gardens In Williamsburg, VA Is A LARGE Theme Park Where Thousands Of People Go Every Day (Yes, I Did Say Per DAY) To Have Fun Riding The Water Rides And The Huge Roller Coasters. My Favorite Was Escape From Pompei And The Theater We Went Into To Watch The Step Dance Show They Had While We Were There. It Cost About $40 To Get In When We Were There, That Was In 2004... The Price May Have Changed Some Since Then. But After Paying The $40 Entrance Fee... The Majority Of The Rides Were Free. We Also Ate At Some Of The Places There And We Saw A Wolf Exhibit Where They Had Wild Wolves Doing Tricks, They Had Learned, For The Public. I Thought It Was Funny When A Little Kid Dropped Their Large Pixie Stick Into The Habitat And A Female Wolf Noticed It And Guarded It So Nobody Could Take It Away From Her. Wolves Are Very Dominant Animals. There Is Lots More I Could Tell About Busch Gardens, But There Really Is A Lot To That Place And I Don't Have That Much Room In Here. I Give Busch Gardens Five Stars.
