I have to say, this might be the final straw for Busch Gardens (for me at least). I went to BGE a few weeks ago, on a Monday, and they were ill-prepared. I ended up waiting in a 1.5 hour line for Big Bad Wolf, because they had to put another car on the track. On top of that delay, I got stuck on the lift for Escape from Pompeii, and to top it off, wated another 1.5 hours for Darkastle due to technical difficulties. To top it off, I got to stand in the train station in New France for 30 min. during pouring rain. It is a beautiful park, but I guess InBev really doesn't care about the park. Before going a few weeks ago, I went 5 years ago. The park was great then, but now it's losing it's charm. Unless the park is sold immediately, the Big Bad Wolf will be history. This is a picture I took when I went.

Maybe all the World's coaster enthusiasts can chip in and buy it. :lol:


If Donald Trump was smart, he'd buy the park. It's a money maker, and the way he'd run it, it'd be amazing. I used to ride his airline back in the day, and it was awesome (full refund if the flight was 30min late)

Well, after hearing about this, I decided to head on up to BGE to get a first and last ride in. I discovered they had an EZPay option where you can pay only $6.24 a month for 24 months and get a 2 year pass, so I got that and I guess I'll be heading up to BGE every few months from now on. Hopefully I don't fall too much in love with BBW cause it's gonna suck to ride it once and then see it go.

yeah...and where is that wonderful airline now...

I mean geesh people some of the things said and how they are said. buying a theme park is not like going to a car lot and picking out a car!

I know that buying a park isn't easy, it's the buying price plus maintenance, workers, and whatnot. I was just thinking of someone who could afford it, and he was one of the first persons I thought of.
