 General Park News - (10/28/2025) Busch Gardens Williamsburg has announced that this year’s Christmas Town event will take place on select nights from Nov. 14 through Jan. 4, 2026. “The world’s most beautiful theme park will once again be transformed with over ten million twinkling lights; one of the largest light displays in North America. Guests can enjoy heartwarming holiday shows, rides on over 25 rides and coasters, including the all-new The Big Bad Wolf: The Wolf’s Revenge; making its Christmas Town debut.”
“Family-friendly classics such as Santa’s Workshop, the Christmas Town Express and ‘Twas that Night ice skating show cover the park in holiday cheer. Plus, visitors can indulge in seasonal sweet treats like flavored hot chocolates and deep-dish cookies, exclusive to Christmas Town. Holiday shopping and special photo opportunities complete the festive holiday tradition for friends and families.”
“New for 2025, visitors can step back in time during Christmas Town LIVE! A Holiday Special, an all-new show debuting in Das Festhaus. This heartwarming performance transports guests to the 1960s during a holiday TV special featuring classic carols and festive medleys, offering a one-of-a-kind trip down memory lane.”
(10/9/2025) People do crazy things… and when that wicked urge surfaces at a theme park, things can get a little out of control. Case in point… it seems an 18-year-old named Charles Parker got a wild-hair right off the bat while visiting Busch Gardens Williamsburg on Sunday morning and for whatever reason, he decided to climb 100 feet up on the park’s Tempesto roller coaster, eventually getting stuck on a catwalk. The local fire department was called in to rescue him and bring him down safely… so they could then be arrested and charged with trespassing. Ouch…way to go Charles.
2026 - Verbolten: Forbidden Turn - (11/14/2025) Busch Gardens Williamsburg has announced that they will be updating the Verbolten coaster for the 2026 season, to be known as Verbolten: Forbidden Turn for the 2026 season. I’m guessing the focus of the changes will be done to the indoor effects building portion of the ride, but as the coaster is already one of the more popular family oriented rides in the park, I’m sure any enhancement they are able to add to refresh the ride experience will be embraced by the guests.
???? - New Attraction / Development - (5/3/2025) BGWFans is back with a leak about the next project that seems to be coming down the pipe for Busch Gardens Williamsburg. According to the post, a new development is being planned between Loch Ness Monster and San Marco areas.
This has long been an undeveloped section of the park, but with good reason, as the link to BGWFans tells us that the site was cleared and used for a major gas pipeline that runs below the ground across the park. So any potential project that might want to go here is going to have to figure out exactly where the pipeline is, and stay clear of sticking anything in the ground near it.
