Busch Gardens Williamsburg is set to revive a classic theme with the announcement of their latest roller coaster, officially named The Big Wolf: The Wolf’s Revenge. This exciting news comes after extensive feedback from fans who expressed their desire to see the beloved Big Bad Wolf name continue in some form. The park’s decision to honor its legacy by selecting this name over other contenders highlights the strong connection visitors have with the old ride.

The Big Wolf: The Wolf’s Revenge will be North America’s longest family inverted coaster, a title that promises thrilling experiences for guests of all ages. The name was chosen through a public naming contest that garnered over 30,000 votes, showcasing the community’s enthusiasm and investment in the park’s offerings. Fans had the opportunity to suggest names, and many echoed the sentiment of simply wanting to keep the Big Bad Wolf name alive.

In a playful exchange on social media, Busch Gardens’ team shared some humorous suggestions from fans, including Big Bad Wolf 2 and the cheeky 2 Big 2 Bad 2 Wolf proposal, which was ultimately rejected. The park acknowledged the feedback, stating, “We are thrilled by the overwhelming enthusiasm and passion you all showed during the naming contest for our newest coaster.”

The new attraction, which will be located in the Germany section of the park, is designed to immerse riders in a narrative experience that includes the ambiance of an abandoned Bavarian village, reminiscent of the original Big Bad Wolf ride that closed its doors in 2009. Park president Kevin Lembke emphasized that this ride is unlike any other previously offered at Busch Gardens, combining storytelling elements with family-friendly thrills.

Guests can expect an immersive experience where the sounds of screams and the echoing howls of wolves will enhance the thrill of the ride, creating a lively atmosphere that transports visitors to a chaotic yet enchanting village setting. The park aims to provide a nostalgic yet fresh experience that pays homage to its history while appealing to a new generation of thrill-seekers.

The Big Wolf: The Wolf’s Revenge is anticipated to open in the spring of 2025, adding to the park’s lineup of attractions and further solidifying Busch Gardens Williamsburg’s reputation as a premier destination for family entertainment and adventure.
