I have a trip planned to go to Busch Gardens Williamsburg from March 26-April 2nd. I will probably be in the park for three days during that time. I have heard that it is a great park, but since this is my first time at the park, I know nothing about it. Please post some helpful hints on how I can get around the park, how are the lines then, and where is a good place to eat. Thanks.

I'm telling these guys, 'Why you gotta grab your crotch?' Then you see Michael Jackson grabbing his crotch 50 times. What's with him?" - Mr. T

The rides start after 10am, but R.L. Stine's Haunted Lighthouse 4-D movie located in Banbury Cross opens at 9:45am. I did this movie, and still had time for 4 runs of Apollo's Chariot. Two days should be fine to see everything at least twice. I was there over their Halloween event and still got to go on everything. I did the coasters 5 times each, and I still did all the non-coaster shows and attractions.

You might want to spend a day at Paramount Kings Dominion in Doswell, VA (north of Richmond). It’s like 72 miles, 1 hour northwest of BGW. Great park especially Volcano, The Blast Coaster and HyperSonic XLC.


The food is excellent and not too expensive. The best is the German food in Das Festhaus. Besides Disney World, this is my favorite park. Hopefully Curse of DarKastle will be open when you visit. I might have to make another trip this summer just for this one.

Thanks alot mtbiker99. Water Country wont be open at this time will it?

Water Country will open May 14th.

Oh well. I can still enjoy my time at BGW.

is this your 1st time going? if so be sure to catch in some shows like Irish Thunder and try to eat at the Festhaus, Smokehouse, and Ristorante Della Piazza, the italian restaurant. hope you have a great time

yeah also you have to take a ride on the train its a really nice view of the park . Ride the whole thing so you can see everything. this is my favorite park. Between the scenery and the food , and the atmosphere its an amazing park.

i have two questions for you guys. 1. what is the name of the candy store in water country usa? 2. do you guys think that busch gardens & water country usa will stay open later on may 30th,31st, and june 1st. Were planned a trip for those days and their calandear says there closing at 6pm that kind of sucks. I was just wondering your thoughts and answers on these two questions. This is only going to be my second time at these parks. We went last year and i loved it so now were coming back

Yes, this will be my first time going. I'll be sure to get to some of those places. Thanks.

Yea, I heard about the train on a different entusiast site and people suggested to go on it. Thanks for your help.

All of these good comments about the park are really making me not want to wait these next 6 days to go. I want to go now!
