[stormygirl84]

Apollo will always be my favorite. <3 Thanks for posting all these BGW vids - now I can show my husband just what he's missing!

[123balletstar]

hi

[TheTutorTalkShow]

went on it 7 times in a row! epic ride

[singstar739]

my favorite ride :D

[loner1878]

Went on there once

[Lewright324]

I went on this last week and got on 4 times! xD I Love this ride! The only thing that's scary is the lap bar, it makes u feel like ur gonna fall out haha

[ionahoopii]

Great video. Went on this a few times at Williamsburg and it was my favorite of their 5 rollercoasters.

[djt2012]

kittens in the back

[wdnguyen98]

I went today!!!

[JsJ1212]

[dprmc11]

@playtube2000 learn how to spell

[smile73775smile]

just love it.......love the float airtime on 2nd and 3rd hill~

[billybob139324]

hehe



[jessicaataylorx3]

good job filming! i'm going today and it was great to see what it's like, i am definitely going on it!

[Coastergod98]

Tied with Nitro for my favorite B&M hyper! Its so amazing, front seat is incredible at night! But i'm convinced back row is the best seat for this one!

[coasterguycrf89]

Other than Alpengeist, this is the absolute BEST roller coaster I have ever been on! Amazing.

[dctbymc]

i went to busch gardens and rode everything except this i love the griffon middle row but i didnt know if i should ride this plz tell me should i?!?!?PS i HATE that floating felling tell me what row is best for that?!

[jgehb]

If this thing had a first drop of 300 feet plus like the Intimidator 305 at King's Dominion, it would be an incomparable classic. Nonetheless, It is a very good coaster at around 210 feet on the first drop. It makes up for the lack of height with fantastic length and a variety of drops and turns.

[benjammin106]

nice filming

[Gigilovergirl]

iwanted to go on... but no one would ride with me! thanx for the experince!!

[1AceMoneyMaker]

0:52 i rode it today and i tried to get my hands up but the other was stuck because of the g forces

[dctbymc]

@1AceMoneyMaker hahahaha that happend to me on the alpengeist! :D 

[Kimanitopia]

im watching the video and i was freaking out on the first big drop!

[eat121999]

this is a copy of the ride in tampa, florida called sheiKra. half of the people who watch this video that live in florida would know what i am talking about...

[CloudPulse]

@eat121999 Apollo's Chariot is totally different from sheikra.. Griffon however, in Busch Gardens VA is similar to Sheikra except it has extra sections.

[eat121999]

@eat121999 OK I DONT NEED 12000000 FREAKIN PEOPLE TELLING ME SHEIKRA IS DIFFERENT FROM THIS! I GOT IT!

[codbean4]

@BRADizKING thats why i was stuck to the seat when the ride ended -___-

[dcj997]

1st time u hit the shocks I thought it was gonna stop

[idropbombes]

Ok stop this video at the begginning and mute it. Go to another tab. Go to youtube.com. And type in " lunatic calm leave you far behind" and play that video and watch this at the same time. Now tell me if you get hyped for any rollercoaster even if your afraid for some.

[reachingsumwhere]

Man I could feel this one just watching it. That first left turn is so wild - and those last humps have such great -G's. Great coaster. No gimmicks, just stomach-in-the-throat fun.

[AGlover24x2]

Im mad the 2 top comments have to do with sex..?

[Randomizationable]

Did you feel the negative g's?

[gracie3484]

I went on ALL the rides its totally AWESOME!

[gracie3484]

WILLIAMSBURG RULES!!!!!

[BRADizKING]

Omg i remember my first time on this. I was SO AFRAID! But i came during the whole ride. You can probably find a puddle of dry semen in one of the seats.

[buddyboyxp]

@BRADizKING LOL WUT

[BeeGreeen]

I went on this!!!!

[codbean4]

whats better, front or back seat?

[dynastyduck]

@codbean4 Thats all opinion. A lot of people get scared shitless in the front. Back is best if you're nervous

[pvtcartman]

For a ride without loops it is super cool! Drops you again and again and again and just when you think its over drops you again! This video doesn't do the first drop justice. If you love the falling sensation of a coaster this one is for you!

[BFFWLT213]

OMG so cool!!!!!!!!!

[kayleege]

I rode this last year 2010 before I turned 11 and the only thing I was doing was holding on for dear life xD

[amusingsbnl]

Sex is like a roller coaster. You can't get off till you finish riding and when you do you're completely wet and sweaty.

[123balletstar]

where is this? it looks awsome!!! :)

[4373fg]

@123balletstar williamsburg, virginia

[ElveTaz]

I think they made it higher since then and 2010 cuz it doesnt look the same when i went in 2010 cuz it had way more and higher drops...

[ElveTaz]

My fav part was getn off... that ride scared the crap out of me... it was my first roller coaster...

[RockerKidd205]

i loved this coaster ;D

[redheadedperson1990]

this was my very first rollercoaster

[Lebronfan213]

@GDplanetrockGD same with me bro

[GDplanetrockGD]

I HATE THIS RIDE! it was the 1st rollercoaster i had ever been on and it was ridiculously scary at the time. granted, i was 15, but damn was that scary

[cojo811]

i went yesterday and this one was broke for like the whole day but i went on everythin else like at least 3 times

[Bananasarethebest1]

I rode all of the roller coasters here 3 times but this one lol it was broken down trouble with the brakes and the chain lift

[codbean4]

@novatrek it really is

[MW2player50]

i am taking my gf there this spring break

[codbean4]

@hillbilly7890 thats wat she said lol

[novatrek]

@codbean4 Got him!! (though I was thinking the same thing, its kinda short)

[hillbilly7890]

six people hate roller coasters

[3mudflap]

griffon was extremely boring (no offense to people who like it ) i dont like free fall

[hillbilly7890]

@3mudflap i just don't like that its like really short

[3mudflap]

i love this ride but i think loch ness monster was better than apollos and Alpengist

this is at you yuutubeistheship1

[yuutubeistheship1]

cool rollercoaster but Alpengist is way better! 

[Shecklergurl259]

This is the best rollercoaster ive ever rode!!!

[crazyxxcrazyxxcrazy]

What does quack quack mean???

[matthewjf96]

This ride scared me shatless lol it wasn't the intensity. That was awesome. Lol the scary part is the 200plus ft drop. I'm petrified if heights lol

[XxjceeT6xX]

This ride was pretty intensee <3

[Griffon9085]

This was my first rollercoaster ever I rode it fir the first time when I was 5

[seanthecomentator]

looks so awesome it now on the top of my to do list, god that sounds rong

[youknowmeordoyou]

I love this roller coaster

[bioshockgril]

Lol yes quack quack indeed hehehehe..... I remember hearing about when I was 5 xD

[TheJOKERevealed]

only wished i'd have loved rollercoasters when i was a kid. so much fun, but i always tend to lift my feet up from the floor when going down. y'know, just in case.

[realchaos207]

QUACK QUACK

if you understand this you are awesome.

[shltrev8998]

I'm going to BG in a few weeks and i cant freakin wait!!!

[swiftfan188]

i'm riding this next week!

[CSX2665]

I rode this one yesterday it's better at night,though,all i could was just hold on to dat thing on the downhill part,that part made my body feel funny and more lightweight.and while we were going up i wanted to just get off.but this one was one hell of a ride.

[facedealer911]

Nice Qualtiy. Oh And Hey. Little Hill. Big Screams Best Part!!!!!!!!! xP I Went On This And It Was So Much Better Than The Other Coaster, (Number 2: Alpeingeist Number 3: Griffon Number 4:Big Bad Wolf Number 5: Lochness Monster) (Lochness Monster Needs To Be Gone, And The Big Bad Wolf Back!) Oh And Agin! Little Hill! BEST PART!!!! XD XD XD XD XD 0:21 Oh And LOL! Wah Wah Wah Wah Wah! (My New Favorite Rollercoaster. (Rode In 2010) (Now Tall Enough.) Scared At First. THEN I Screamed Why Do I Like?

[bonzogonzo618]

@FunAndOnly how is this ride overrated? It's obviously a really good coaster since it's number 4 in the world. It's my second favorite coaster ever. It's better than griffon because all you have are lapbars, and there are multiple moments of really good airtime. I just hope you've ridden this and are not a hippocrit

[Dirkaah]

Rode this for the first time this summer most definatly my favorite coaster in the park now

[Rachelleigh997]

looks so much fun! i still havent riden a real roller coaster yet.....havent been able to go to busch gardens for years... :/

[EmsIsAwesome]

i rode this for the first time yesterday. i was sooo scared to go on it but my friend dragged me. all the way up the hill i was saying "i want down!" but then after the very first drop, i was like "this is awesome!" its so amazing. you actually feel like youre flying!! love it! my new favorite rollercoaster.

[deadpool101ful]

this ride was amazing! best one there after griffon

[icanstandup]

@Dillon482 no its not the worst one there uts one of the best and griffon

[Pieishman]

Im going there soon and I cant wait to ride it......... even though I will most likely chicken out

[zeebofun123]

Best.Roller.Coaster.Ever

[CSX2665]

I was too scared to ride this one.next we go i'll see if i'm more man to ride it.

[dbowman1231]

this was my first rollercoaster and i loved it

[Braydo131]

My friend was like about to barf he was so freakinnnn scared!!!!!!

[LovesGreysAnatomy18]

AHHHH I loved this ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RheanaCullen]

At first i wasnt scared of griffon (I went on that 3 times) but I was scared of apollos chariot and I didnt go on it until my mom said i could only do one more ride and then we came to this and i loved it but i wasnt able to ride it again.

[silverstarinthesky]

This was my first big roller coaster

[Supbhan]

i rode this ride yesterday!! it was awesome but.... it was raining so the raindrops turned into needles of death from hell... to ur face.. it hurt like a mother....

[horrorjunky22]

My ... first ... time... was... today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and it was awesome!!! i also rode, alpengeist and griffon. On wednesday I'm gonna ride lochness, and pompeii... and ... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHH!!!

[KowalskiRocks38]

rode this yesterday! OMG this was fun to ride in the dark

[6TDoT6]

tallest and fastest ride at busch gardens yet its not that great

[Tjtjboy]

@6TDoT6 Griffon is actually a taller ride. Apollo's Chariot is only 170 feet tall. Griffon is 205 feet. Apollo's Chariot does have a bigger drop which is 210 feet. That probably does not make sence to you but the first drop on Apollo's Chariot drops into a valley so that is why the drop is bigger than the lift hill.

[SGarv04]

haha i always duck at the end of the 2nd hill :p

[abcSmiles14]

I rode this before. I like froze on that first drop lol!

[chandlerbeckhoff]

the awesome part about living in williamsburg is that i can ride this ride just about anytime i feel like it :D

[ethalinia]

@tayy1hana It's always like that...I went on an inversion roller coaster last week, and I nearly got a heart attack while waiting and going up, but it was totally not that bad, it's just anticipation, the ride itself is not all that much but they make you scared by pulling you up reaaaaal slowly

[AllyyABC]

one of my favoritee roller coasters ever! its so smooth.

[Kimbelle10]

I nearly cried! Lol!---the drop was so scary w/out shoulder bars! Lol!

They don't let you film anymore though---they're strict about it now, b/c if they catch you, you get kicked out...And in line I saw this kid hope the fence to reach a Silly Band---

Random I know! Lol! But great vid---didn't realize it was that short...

[818swimmygirl]

i love this coaster so much!!c :) Great Video i <3 it

[Jessay120]

I rode this way back in 05 i think... I love that ride sooooo much! xD

Alpengeist was my favorite though xD

[Schwinty7]

isnt that the same as steel force

[bbyblueyes5]

my favorite ride of all time!!!! really sucked when I went to busch gardens last week and it was closed tho. I was so upset.

[Crissybesr]

this ride is scary i scream every time

[mirptwirp]

I thought this one went upside down?

[nubble217]

I've been on that! Epic ride of my life!

[blmnva]

i think this ride is awzome

[crimdell]

From this video it looks like the ride is rough and bouncy. It isn't though. It's relatively smooth.

[rainfire462]

you do know that the front row is kinda relaxing? The back is the fastest beacuse of gravity. You should try it. I tried it.

[beautifulmelodyx3]

i screamed more on this ride , than the griffin. i hate how my picture came outt!

[Dracomancer3]

Reminds me of Intimidator at Carowinds

[TheMusicianforlife]

I love this ride i rode it yesterday and closed my eyes the whole hill lift haha but the drop is crazy scary! the rest of the ride after the drop isnt too scary and if your worred about the seats they keep u in good even though it doesnt look like it lol

[b0b0themonkey]

how can you hold a camera and ride?! hold on tight?

[kevin12161995]

Great vid! It's tough too hold the camera with all those negative g's. Do you ever get caught video taping?

[PrinceOfPersia117]

damn the ride up to the first drop felt like forever same going down it lol i miss last summer it was sum good times

[bosniannigga1]

This ride is not scary, compared to other scary rides i went on this should be like a pussy ride. Alot better ones than this, even though this is a fun roller coaster I bought a season pass over the summer went there every day.

[NickJonasesPrincess]

i just rode this yesterday when my school went... (5-7-10) and me and my friend all we could say going up the big hill was holy shit..(:

[SandFreak123X]

i live in va with a season pass...this was my first coaster... on the first drop my feet were shaking so bad lol

[MelzKelz]

This was one of the best rollercoasters I've been on!!! It's really fast and it has a lot of great drops!!!

[misswayne283]

yeah i didn't really much care for this one. i mean no loops or surprises or anything. not too fun for me.

[raemeredith]

@misswayne283 It's not designed for loops or surprises, it's designed for speed and altitude. Putting in loops or sharp turns would be very dangerous on a coaster that goes this fast. :)

[JiMaNeYbOb]

@misswayne283 i know! how many coasters do u see just like this one!

[jakexpow]

rode this yesterday. got year passes

[kaznice]

cant believe i rode this. ah it was fun.

[bigrob1572]

check this out bruh i never got on dis ride before this summer its gon be on like neckbones at the crack of dawn

[bumaximous45]

They need to put this in Denver for sure

[DarkH0riz0n]

I KNOW RIGHT!!! Elitches is getting boring.

[Wacoswim]

rode it yesterday!!!

SO MUCH FUN

[idorkful]

Good times, good times [: LOL Virginia FTW :DDDD

[Hurricoaster]

they seriously need to build one of these in florida

[sexciichickka10]

Manee!! i wanted to go on this so badly n i was so close but then it started rainin hard as shytt!

[therealSamHatch]

i would never go on there XD it looks unsafe and it scared the living day lights out of me

[azbud123]

i was 9 when i rode that

[idorkful]

@therealSamHatch It really isn't :P It's just a simple coaster reallly. No upsides downs or loops xD

[NewMexicoParks]

i love busch gardens and water country usa in va

[godzillagodzilla28]

they need to build a weightless coaster at the busch gardens in FL. That would be nice.

[sksyes5]

I love this ride! Whenever I ride this, my friends and I always check to see if the line in Roman Rapids is long, haha. You can see it perfectly.

[Missfrizz97]

@sksyes5 Ha! so did I rofl

[TheShrimplover]

@sksyes5 yeah when i went there the line was hudge my fav ride though

[TheShrimplover]

@sksyes5 me to when i went there the line was so long!

[blmnva]

@sksyes5 i love roman rapids u get soo soaked

[broooketteisback]

Its such a looooonq frickinq way up!. uy start to panic cuz it never ends!!!!. uqh!. but after that way up its fun(:

[1b42thenskipabeat]

This ride is amazing! takes forever to get to the top. xD

[iwuvsweeney]

this is the first roller coaster i ever rode. i thought i was gonna die on the ride up lol

[iSpeed09]

not that california doesn't have great rides, but i wish i lived on the east coast where those other cool rides are!!

[Masterp5708]

This is my favorite coaster of all time XD

[teresaponziani]

Great video!!! AC is Busch's masterpiece!!!!

[mkb2000bkm]

This was one of the best roller coasters i have ever been on till this day! The first drop is absolutely huge!!!

[TheChip911]

this ride is awsome

[greenmotorcar]

3 best coasters on the planet. Fujiyama (Fujikyu Highland park Japan) Space Mountain Jules Verne Edition (Euro Disneyland) and last but not least Millenium Force (Cedar Point) Some of you might wonder where King Daka is but sorry, no respect for the 30 second ride in my book.

[rcpimpproductions]

Not even 30 seconds. You just won my respect by saying that too. : )

[gyso456]

i went to cedar point it was fun. personally i liked the topthrill dragster and mantis more than force :)

[nascar09random09]

im goin friday im ridin all the good rides

[prettysky97]

Im not riding this cause it feels like you going to fall of and thats a bad feeling!

Sources: (My sister)

[WavyC123]

yes yes definately i had like a freaking panic attack because of it

[rcpimpproductions]

That's the whole idea, it's supposed to feel like you're going to fly out, even though you are actually safer than your ride to the park.

[Wacoswim]

There is nothing like riding a new roller coaster for your first time! Nothing ever beats the first time

[Sprouseluver123]

i'm

not ridding it until i'm 11 years old!

[pippintoon]

actually its not, rollercoaster modeling sets re my hobby. Infact I'm hoping to build a PVC coaster this summer.

[Scioneer]

They sell models of the BGE coaster Trains for some kind of track set in the gift shops at the park. Only one I didn't see was the BBW. They were either sold out due to its retirement( I sure would have bought one) or they didn't make a BBW version.

They were pretty well detailed.

[pippintoon]

Well theres turning trim, meaning adjusting the angle on a roller coasters helix or semi-helix. Then there are trim brakes which slowly adjust the trains velocity. If you look closely at 0:41 there are trim brakes aligned on the second hill.

[pippintoon]

Wait, so sop being stupid generl public. So you're basically telling the general public to stop being stupid. You're a smart one arn't ya'?

[pippintoon]

gp?

[shoxtickle]

This is probably my faveorite ride in the park I love that little 4 foot drop before the big one :)
