[pkdcoasterAll I want is a chainlift!]

Goodbye ol girl

Me and family and friends went to get some awesome last night rides on Saturday. She was running great as usual. good that they have built in to the announcement in the station that she takes her last ride on Sep 7.

Also a few weeks ago they were selling cardboard replicas of the 25th anniversary sign for $20 which IMO was a ripoff but BGW made it right, yesterday they were selling a similar item but it is on a thin metal plate and about 18" in Diameter for $30 (22.50 w/ Season pass).

It was a special night that I will never forget and I hope my son never forgets either. we got 7 rides last night.

So long old friend

I'll be paying my respects tomorrow (get in a ride last Friday night, too). So, they're selling metal signs now? Figures. I've already bought one of the cardboard ones.

Yea Chuck I would try to take the other one back and see if you could exchange it...the new one is much better.

In case people did not know BGW is having a sale on ALL merchandise at the park 15% off (25% off for passholders) this weekend, Needless to say the wolf gift stand has been getting cleaned out.

Damn. I need to get one of those metal signs.
They'll be gone by tonight no doubt...
I want another Wolf shirt too!

[netdvnWhy do I still have a donkey title???]

I got these from Theme Park Brochures and thought it would be awesome to share them.

PS: Does anybody have any info regarding the Sesame Place that was operating near Dallas-Ft. Worth?

[adeuce02This B&M donkey is so smooth!]

anybody remember the video they used to play in the que line about the story of the wolf. I thought it was so awesome and wish they kept playing it but im glad i got my 2rides in june. rip

[Homeboy23Beware of the freeze-dried donkey!]

I wish Busch Gardens would still be open until midnight. Who would've thought in '84 they were and now a days they aren't. I would have thought it would be the other way around.

Thanks for that video... It made me a bit teary eyed... SO glad I got to ride two weeks ago (8/25)... Amazing day at the park overall...

...And so here we are... Just one more short operating day for her... RIP Big Bad Wolf... You treated us well and you will be greatly missed...

[snowboard83Holy crap you have a HUGE donkey!]

Man, today (sunday) the line for The Wolf was nuts, all the way out of the queue house at one point, out of the entrance, and headed down to the foot of the bridge over the Rhine. 2 train op did not help at all either. Something "major" seemed to be wrong with train 3 and it did not make an appearence all day. Trains 1 and 2 were on. Did anyone go on Saturday and was it running all 3 trains?

What a way to go out... tomorrow, Williamsburg is expecting up to 5 inches of rain...BGE had better open!
