An interesting perspective of the park as seen from above. Begins at the station near Griffon and ends up at the same spot. In all, three separate segments of the skyride take you over three different areas of the park, in a triangular formation, until you arrive back at the originating station.

As you can see, Busch Gardens is an incredible-looking park, with all sorts of varieties of vegetation and rides. All of the coasters seem to coalesce over or near the artificial lake within the park, and appear as one big tangle of steel ribbons, as they seemingly interlock with one another. I'm sure, with proper timing, several of these coaster trains can appear to be revolving around one another as they zip along their respective tracks, although I wasn't able to see this today while I recorded.

I found the ride information board, located on this and every ride, to be somewhat humorous, particularly paragraph #2, which states that the ride created forces & speeds which may be unacceptable to some rides. It's got to be the slowest moving ride in the park!

Barely visible through the trees at 7:35 is the white roof of the train as it approached a station.

  • The Loch Ness Monster used too loop both trains at the same time. I rode way back when it did this and it was awesome to experience. Not sure why they stopped doing this. Check out my Busch Gardens Williamsburg memories from long ago video to see pictures of it doing this. Nice video too.

  • @JakeT7 Dude, Drachen fire closed 13 years ago, and BBW was getting too expensive to keep running. Id like to see you run a theme park.

  • @memelovesyou100 oh no! Busch Gardens VA used to be number 1. but with drachen fire n wolf gone now Busch FLORIDA is become much better

  • I went on that ride on April 20 ,2010 it was so fun bc I didn't get to see the whole park.

  • excellent video. i remember in the 80s the skyrides were yellow and green with white or black block numbers, the in the 90s they were repainted dark blue and red. they were numbered with a black number in a white circle. now they are light blue, yellow or green. i love your video nice work!

  • vonroll vr101 at its finest!!!!!
