East Coast Adventurer

Old school roller coaster that will shake your skeleton and pump adrenaline through your body and soul.

Tempesto is different: it takes you back and forth through a double-loop vertical track. At its highest point it does a heart line roll, ranking it among the tallest inversions in the world. #tempesto #buschgardens #themepark #williamsburg #buschgardenswilliamsburg

This is an extreme Screamin’ Swing ride! We soars high and swing out over the cliffs of the Busch Garden's Ireland village. This breathtaking attraction features two pendulum-like arms that fly progressively higher with each swing. Finnegan’s Flyer reaches a staggering height of more than 80 feet with a speed of 45 mph. Riders can enjoy the beautiful views of the park while being thrilled with the dueling arms that sway back-and-forth, the ground plummeting into view with each swing.

Full video premieres tomorrow (7/2/2023 at noon).

Griffon is a roller coaster inspired in the agility and speed of an ancient mythical creature, the Griffin, which has the body of a lion (the king of the animals) and the head and wings of the eagle (the king of the birds). In mythology Griffins, or Griffons, are always the majestic guardians of treasures and priceless possessions. And at Busch Gardens Williamsburg, the treasure is the Griffon itself - one of the most thrilling roller coasters. Opened it 2007, it held the records for the tallest and fastest Dive Coaster in the world, both of which were previously held by its sister ride SheiKra at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. Griffon was also the first Dive Coaster to feature floorless trains. Riding Griffon is an absolute adventure we can't pass!

This is a relaxing solo walk through the Appalachian Trail, hiking towards the Annapolis Rock for its amazing vista at the end of the video. It started at the Annapolis Rock & Black Rock Cliff Trail Head, in Myersville, MD. In the very beginning the trail runs in parallel to I-70 and the noise is not pleasing, but wait a few minutes more and you'll immerse yourself in pure nature sounds (wind, leaves, birds) with my steps in the ground (and eventually my breathing while going uphill) will bring you calm and serenity. Brace yourself for the astounding vista at the end of the trail. I hope you enjoy!

Apollo's Chariot is one of my favorite rides. It's the perfect ride for beginners. It offers riders 8 air-time hills. For 4 years, up to 2012, it ranked as #4 in the Golden Ticket Awards, by the Amusement Today. Not being a new roller coaster, lines are short and it is not uncommon to have people riding it multiple times.

When Montu opened to the public in 1996, it was the world's tallest and fastest inverted roller coaster, loosing that title later on to its sister ride Alpengeist in Busch Gardens Williamsburg, VA. Although it is not a new ride, Montu is a lot of fun with its 7 inversions, being a very smooth and pleasant ride.

Scorpion is the "grandma" of all the roller coasters at Busch Gardens Tampa. It was released in 1980 as their second roller coaster, being preceded only by Python, retired in 2006. The cars are small and the seats are tight; the ride is shaky and a bit uncomfortable. It is definitely not a prime attraction anymore. Nevertheless, an important part of the history or this amazing theme park and should be appreciated by riders of any age.

The name "Kumba" translates as "roar" from the the African Kongo language. It's a word used to describe a lion, and this roller coaster used to be the "King of the Jungle" when originally released in 1993. Happy 30th anniversary Kumba!

This is an unique experience! A tunnel made of acrylic, slowly taking us through a shark tank for 60 feet (20 meters). Each acrylic panel in the tunnel weighs up to 5,000 pounds (2.2 tons) and supports the pressure of more than 500 tons of water.
