Apollo's Chariot Enhanced Ride

[chadinterrupted]

i don't judge rides on specs anymore. i judge on how much fun i am having.

[JesusNSebring4Me]

I think this is a great way to look at it!

[chadinterrupted]

yep. its all about a good positive vibe. =]

[motovation272]

Appolos is bigger than the griffin but the griffin is the biggest 90 degree coaster...as in straight down.

[Chr1st1anDeanda]

hell ya goliath is the best. i go to magic mountain 3 times a year haha

[BIOHAZARDmedia]

lol funny how ppl are like its 210 no 180!?!?! grrr...well goliath is 255 ^_^

[AndreatheHedgehog97]

btw the griffon isn't the tallest ride in the park...

APOLLO'S CHARIOT IS!

what a difference five feet makes

[KingsDominionSuksAss]

you are a douche bag. apollo's chariot is 170 feet tall. it is the third tallest in the park.

[AndreatheHedgehog97]

no

i checked six sites and they all said apollo's chariot was 210 feet tall.

and you don't talk to a lady like that

[KingsDominionSuksAss]

okay lady, you need to get the sand out of your cunt.

the coaster is 170 feet tall with a 210 foot drop. i am not stupid and i know what i am talking about.

[defythe5]

when i checked sites they said the lift brings u up to 180 feet (i think) but i drops 210 feet into a valley

[defythe5]

that is true but it has the highest drop  (210) because it drops into a valley

[phx13balla]

no dude your wrong. appolos chariot at the highest point is 210. its the tallest at busch gardens va. griffon is number 2 at 205. but griffon has a 90 degree drop so i think it goes a littles faster than apollo

[bassfinder17]

no apollos chariot is only 200 feet above the ground. it goes 10 feet under ground. griffon is the talles point but apollos chariot has the tallest drop

[phx13balla]

o well. watevs its still the coolest ride there. but like on the trolly to the park and shit everyone that worked ther said that it was the tallest. and technically it is cuz you have to measure from highst point to lowest point.

[Kidwhofailsmost]

your all wrong apollos chariot is 170 ft tall with a 210 ft drop. griffon is 205 ft tall with a 205 ft drop which makes griffon the tallest but apollos chariot has the biggest drop

[phx13balla]

shit our right lol. if you wanna get techincal then if you measure from lowest [oint to highest point then its the tallest. lol

[Navineous1]

I know. Griffon is my favorite. I remember the first year we were there (2002) I wanted to ride Apollo's Chariot but it was raining so it was closed =/.

[defythe5]

it has the tallest lift hill (205)

but the apollos chariot has a 180 foot lift hill and a 210 foot drop because it drops into a valley

[TheZenStudios]

That Would Be Correct

[AndreatheHedgehog97]

oh my goodness I love this ride

its soooooooo fun

but... i really hate this music

[RabidHummingbird]

something about this ride looks very zen and relaxing, after the first drop that is.

[sloopjohnb9]

in a way it could be relaxing...to me its just straight up fun

[dj51793]

i im soo scard of this ride and im ony 15 lol i keeping think that i can fall out of the seat

[ljhbaby93]

its gonna be ok when you ride

this was my first hyper

i love coaster but i was iffy with this one

after the first hill its gravy

when its over your goin to feel AMAZING

[mrngh22]

LOL u can pop out of seat if something happens but thats with all ride

[tvnewsguy42]

Best part = the drop out of the block brake.

[JesusNSebring4Me]

Eh, I wouldn't call it the best part, but most surprising!

[9658]

dont like this coaster that much, thats why behemoth is 100% better

[ljhbaby93]

that made no sense

[beyoncefan012]

i luv dis ride bcuz jus b4 u start goin up it says enjoy ur journey 2 da sun

[lilronaldinho9]

the first drop looks like it sucks!! it isn't that steep!!

[Ryan120420]

The first drop is amazing, your floating in you seat all the way down. And if you sit in the back you are ejected into the restraint.

[princeyukiluver]

I sat in the back my first time riding it...I'm not really a roller coaster lover or anything, but it was fun after the first drop.

[mobius4321]

its just the video, its steeper than it looks

[farc300]

the seats are elevated, and the buny hill before the hill really adds a good amount of air time

[xM31x]

1:10 is probably the turn thats most fun on the ride

it feels so cool to ride this ride, tour totally free just that little thing on your lap

[BigB1988]

Rode it in 2001 on an 8th grade field trip

[coasterfreakazoids]

the first and third drops on this ride dominate!!!

[coasterfreakazoids]

this is the best B&m coaster ever because it is right behind the ultimate B&M Alpengeist. Busch Gardens Williamsburg makes the greatest B&M coasters ever. Griffon looks really good and I hope to ride it in the future!

[banananutmuffi1tv]

i luv this ride! i luv them all if u saw my othr cmmnts. if this ride had loops it wuld b the best ride evr! great job makin the vid by cuttin out the screams. This ride reminds me of superman.

[demon1255]

thanks guys...i got him to ride big bad wolf...not the biggest there but still ^-^

[patsel13]

best ride at busch[without a doubt]

since griffon nobody has been giving apollo's and credit.

definetly a great ride.

[GamingRoom]

@patsel13 I totally agree! Griffon is great, but this ride is definitely better.

[hidrena]

demon1255, my friend is the same way. start with something small, or you could trick your friend into riding a big roller coaster. I put a blindfold and earplugs on my friend and she thought i was just messing around and i took the blindfold and earplugs off once she was locked in the ride. it was hilarious

[cluenobody]

lol..they should try that with my neice,she won't go on anything.feel kinda sorry

[goblue14719]

i was like that

but i went to kings dominion with a camp and they forced me to go on the grizzly

no the baddest coaster out there but it scared me enuff to want more!

[demon1255]

Im trying to convince one of my friends to ride his first coaster...any advice???

[DarkBeam]

Paralize him then make his go on a ride!!

[luvsoccer241]

yesss

best roller coaster at busch haha

[orange0crush818]

dude this ride scared me cuz i thought i was going to fall off

[imamoviefanatic]

what song is this? I know I should know but I don't, lol...

great vid...I love this coaster.

[JesusNSebring4Me]

Flood by Jars of Clay

[Leanzo100]

WOW your vids are great! man! do you have any other besides the big bad wolf?

[sloopjohnb9]

insanely awesome ride, & great video too. best ride in the park, with alpengeist as a close second (i didnt get to go on girffon, cause i was last there like a month b4 it opened...all my friends were laughing at me cause i wanted to go on so bad

[NR92CP]

Is there a lot of airtime in the front, or just in the back?

[JesusNSebring4Me]

Airtime EVERYWHERE! Seriously, I've sat in every single row, and I've always felt it. That's why this is my favorite coaster, your butt is never in the seat.

[rspkergod]

if u sit in middle or back on the second and every other drop u fell like ur flying

[Drwattz]

thats called air time rspkergod

[tvnewsguy42]

The more correct term is weightlessness or zero gravity.

[90jwheel]

I agree with madhjsp though. This coaster looks worse in video form but it's not because you shot it or anything. The coaster is just alot better when you ride it because of all the airtime. Looking at the coaster it looks kind blah, but riding it is a different experience!

[JesusNSebring4Me]

Thank you - that's how an opinion should be expressed!

[greendayfan230]

By the way...you shouldnt listen to people telling you that your videos suck...all of your videos rock and have great music!!!!!

[JesusNSebring4Me]

I really don't I am just really tired of peopole criticizing them, they think they are all high and mighty and try to bash them, I just point them out for them looking like idiots. Everyone's allowed to have an opnion but express it with respect.

[greendayfan230]

Good video...going there tomorrow, cant wait to ride this one

[griffonluvr]

Really awesome ride. my second fave after Griffon. Apollo is much longer but much shorter in height than Griffon. still good though.

[JesusNSebring4Me]

Really, cause your face is pretty lame too. If you are gonna bash someone - don't bother commenting. It is a real shame that people can't be nice about things, if you don't like the video that's all you have to say. You don't have to be like "this video is stupid, but its a good coaster", no it's unneccessary. And I don't see any of YOUR videos making headlines.

[LuckyLucas4ev]

Go smoke!

[S57Firebox]

On the media day of this ride, Fabio got nailed in the face by a goose while going done the first drop XD

[JesusNSebring4Me]

Correct.

[flumpton]

that thing was crazy!!! i rode it and was screamin god help me!

[rollerguy88]

went on it 3 days ago. and it was good.

VERY VERY GOOD.

[2UBOB]

my man lous williams the third strongly disagrees with you griffon stomp

[griffonstomp]

Griffon is notin next to Apollo's. It's just too short. Apollo's give you that flying, open feeling, and Griffon does not.

[tvnewsguy42]

I rode this 4 times in a row in like 20 mins today.

[griffonstomp]

I'm going to ride it tommorow. :)

[Ryles30]

Lucky.

[griffonstomp]

From what I've heard on BGEscape(.com)(great site) Griffon is second to Apollo. Apparently it has better airtime. Griffon's pretty short too.

[Ryles30]

Mabye Apollo is better but I am going to find out when I go to Virginia in June.

[Ryles30]

Best coaster in Virginia.

[hokiechip]

Not anymore. Griffon absolutely rocks.

Appolo's Chariot is a very good coaster, but Griffin is unbelievable.

[Ryles30]

Sorry I havn't been on Griffin but I think if I ride it it will change my mind.

[JesusNSebring4Me]

Actually in the RCDB rating system, people tend to find Apollo's more fun, because Griffon is so short.

[griffonstomp]

You shouldve made this to a hardcore metal song, cuz it is. I love Busch Gardens Williamsburg, can't wait to ride Griffon!

[Coasterkid14]

Great ride, but didn't make my top list. The crazy thing is, Apollo's Chariet and Alpengeist are B&M's and top class; they didn't make my top ten. The other two coasters, BBW and LNM are made by the painful reputation Arrow. Those two coasters are 7 and 8 on my top ten. O_o Come on B&M. You're lagging behind.

[sugarbabii92]

this totally makes it look less scary then it was...i was like crying on the way up..it was terrifying but none the less fun!

[supergurl13131]

watching it like that makes it look so docile!

[futuredirector101]

wuts this song??

[skinem2000]

"Flood" by Jars Of Clay

[ArcticAngel25438]

i went on it 5 times and it was awesome

[legalese12]

This ride is AWESOME! 835 ft of drops at 73 mph with a 210 foot first drop is a hell of a ride!

[mikeyboi8]

i rode this

[toptenmaterial]

jars of clay...talk about a blast from the past.

[theironwaffles]

I love that coaster!

[VanillaFog]

M'rawr.. I LOVE this song!

[Orginization12]

the ride is fun as hell!!!! *is forcing friend to ride it today* >=3

[rnrdude76]

dont like the song

[thornscomeb4rose]

hey dude...great vid! do you ahve one for alepengeist too?

[nikedmondson]

This ride is the SHIT! Better than California Screamin'

[FearTheFluffy]
