Big Bad Wolf HD

I don't know if anything I post here will do this ride justice.

The ENTIRE reason why I have a youtube page dedicated to roller coasters is BECAUSE of The Big Bad Wolf.

But after 25 years of running at the Speed of Fright, Busch Gardens is taking this ride down. BBW will run it's last course on Sept 7th, 2009. :o(

This is as close to the last date as I could get, filmed on Aug 28, 2009 - 11 days before it is schedule to be shut down.

Aside from being biased, since this was my first major coaster, It was generally a fun and exciting ride.

I am sad to see this go, as I was Drachenfire, But these are things that must be done.

RIP - Big Bad Wolf 1984-2009 (Final Day was September 7th)

You will also be remembered by some park goers as the first major coaster they have ridden (myself included). Your unique design moved with the scenery unlike most coasters that are just built on a flat piece of land. You were made especially for BGW. What ever will replace you will never be as unique or memorable. Your fans will remember you years after your retirement and your legacy will carry on! Thanks for 25 great years! Rest In Peace Wolf! 1984-2009

Well, today is the day. Monday morning September 7th 2009, the Big Bad Wolf's team of operators unlocked the gates, activated the control panel, inspected the trains, and gave them a test run knowing that this was going to be the last time they will ever do this. Big Bad Wolf, you will forever be known as a landmark in coaster history. You may have not been the tallest, fastest, or even the most advanced roller coaster, but you won the hearts of kids, adults and coaster enthusiasts of all ages.

this was going to be my first coaster, but I moved before I got to go and ride it. I moved back in late 2009, I went back right after it closed.

Thanks for posting this video, I took my kids on it in the 90's and rode it back to back to back. just got off and kept getting back in line. This will always be my favorite coaster. Loved the way it was built into the terrain and hugged the ground. Gave the illusion of incredible speed. The way it dropped onto the river was awesome. R.I.P.-BBW
