WILLIAMSBURG, Va. , Oct. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Darkness descends upon Busch Gardens Williamsburg in 2025 as the park unveils its newest and most immersive family attraction yet – North America's longest family inverted coaster, The Big Bad Wolf: The Wolf's Revenge! Set in a bustling Bavarian village preparing for the legendary Festival of the Silent Bells, the celebration quickly turns into chaos as glowing red eyes and bone-chilling howls signal the return of a terrifying creature. While trekking across the German countryside, riders become the beast on this all-new exhilarating adventure.

The name of the ride came following a naming contest during which the park's most passionate fans cast over 30,000 votes – and shared their own thoughts on what the name should be. The fans were loud and clear on their desire to see the park honor the legacy of an old favorite while launching an all-new family-friendly attraction. As a result, Busch Gardens Williamsburg chose the ride's name specifically to build upon a beloved attraction in the park's history with a new twist.

The Big Bad Wolf: The Wolf's Revenge delivers a highly immersive and thematic experience, where families are swept into a world of unparalleled excitement. Riders will dash through more than 2,500 feet of track at speeds up to 40 miles per hour, making it the ultimate family-friendly attraction. With its thrilling yet accessible design, this ride is perfect for kids, with a minimum height of 42 inches tall when accompanied by a supervising companion and 48 inches without, ensuring everyone can enjoy this coaster together.

"This attraction is unlike anything we've ever done before," said Kevin Lembke, Busch Gardens Williamsburg Park President. "We've created an experience that combines storytelling with family-friendly thrills. Guests will feel completely immersed in the story of the Bavarian village, as the sound of screams and the echo of a howling wolf creates chaos in the familiar town."

Located in the Octoberfest area of the park, this all-new thrill will be the park's eleventh coaster.
Manufactured by Bolliger & Mabillard, it joins Busch Gardens Williamsburg's diverse roller coaster portfolio of attractions for both thrill seekers and families, including the newest coaster, Loch Ness Monster: The Legend Lives On, along with fan-favorite attractions like DarKoaster and Pantheon.
