I saw you looking at me with a smile like you wanted me
Saying, boy, come on, will our break be gone?
I just had to try
You just move, baby
Move any way you need
How do you do it, darling?
You got me on my knees
On my feet
Take me to the left, baby
Take me to the right, baby
Take me for the rest of my life
Just move, baby
All right, we're back at Busch Gardens.
I can't wait to show you this video
because this has been voted
one of the most beautiful parks in Williamsburg
for 35 years in a row.
It's beautiful.
There's over 50 plus rides and attractions.
I can't wait to get into this video
and show you all the rides.
At least not home.
Yes, this park is celebrating its 50th anniversary.
This park is just beautiful.
Look at this entrance.
It feels so great to be back in Busch Gardens.
Boy, it's an old time setting.
Fits in with colonial Williamsburg theme.
This tells you what rides you can get on.
Measure up, people.
Beautiful little sitting area right here when you walk in.
And just right there, they got a locker rental.
All right, we got as far as we can.
This park ain't open yet.
But we're getting close.
There you go. Complete the loop.
You can see all the different countries that you have.
It says it's one and a half miles around.
It looks like we're going into Ireland.
But look at this tree over here.
That's so cool.
But look at this right over here.
A swinging pendulum.
Wow.
That sucker is high.
That's just one of many.
This is a pretty cool store.
It's called the Store of Leprechauns.
All kinds of stuffed animals in here.
There's Abbey Stone Theater.
They got all kinds of shows at this park.
They even got animals in here.
Look at that. There's a bald eagle.
Look at him there.
They don't even pass maps out at these parks anymore.
There's an electronic map.
I'll tell you one thing.
Great line waits today.
You walk right on this thing and it's a Friday.
But it's a little early.
Look at him hanging over that edge.
And stop.
This thing actually has a water feature.
Here they come. Look at that.
There it comes.
Make sure you're checking out all the buildings.
In Williamsburg.
Because they're decorated just beautiful.
This is one way to see this entire park.
Take the cable ride.
There we go.
Off into the wild.
Of Williamsburg.
Now one thing about the cable car.
It takes you to different countries.
We're heading to Germany right now.
I think that's where Alpengeist is.
Very peaceful.
Except for the griffin here.
That's cool.
A little rope course.
For the little ones.
Here's a classic.
You probably know it as a different name.
Here it's called La Catapult.
I call it the merry mixer.
You've got to have classic rides at an amusement park, right?
Look at this.
Get up next to the catapult.
A super high efficiency fan on a hot day.
Because it can get hot in Williamsburg.
Check out this ride.
It's called the invader.
But I can't show you it's closed today.
Don't be this guy.
Alpengeist entrance.
There you go.
You see how you hang over the track.
Coming right down at you.
The inverted roller coaster.
Tempesto.
The greatest daredevil on earth.
What's that all about?
This is called Tempesto.
It keeps rocking you back and forth.
I guess until you go the whole way around.
Like that.
Whoa.
Here it comes.
That's pretty cool, isn't it?
This is probably one of the most famous food places.
Trapper's Smokehouse.
They've got a sampler platter that I think I'm going to have to try.
I remember this place.
Caribou Pottery Place.
But it looks like a log cabin inside.
They don't have pottery.
They've got other stuff too.
Looks like you can paint them.
Yeah, it is.
It's really cool.
They've got tables for you to pick something out.
And sit down here and paint a ceramic.
I love that touch.
I think I found it.
Here it comes.
The Loch Ness Monster.
Whoa.
Oh my God.
This was right open in 1978.
I think I was here when they put this in.
Here's the entrance to the Loch Ness Monster.
This has been around for a long time.
Do not miss this at Busch Gardens Williamsburg.
Ace Roller Coaster Landmark Award.
There it is in between all the trees.
The Loch Ness.
Comes Loch Ness right at you.
Comes for like the second or third loop in a row.
Crazy.
Now this looks like fun.
You can actually pan for gold right here.
You pick up stuff right in the general store.
And you dip it in here and see what you can find.
That's what you get right there.
You get a bag of dirt and all kinds of minerals in there.
And see if you're a lucky winner of a gold nugget.
I love all their trading post style gift stores.
I found it.
The Big Bad Wolf.
This is one of the newest roller coasters here.
Who remembers what it was before this?
I found where everybody was.
Big Bad Wolf Revenge.
Everybody wants to get on the new one.
Alright.
This don't look too bad to me.
Oh man.
Look at that.
My eyes on the front.
Maybe it is.
I don't know.
Maybe it's me.
But I think this should be called the Big Bad Tamed Wolf.
That is a little hill.
That is nothing.
The Roman Rapids.
Still one of my favorites.
I literally can't believe the lines today.
This is a hot day.
And it's a Friday.
And you are walking right on this ride.
Who doesn't want to get wet on a super hot day?
Where's the rapids?
Oh, there's some.
Oh, they're getting wet.
They're going through the strong stuff now.
Alright, we just got on this steam train.
Look, nobody's behind me.
And this is like more my speed.
I hear the whistle.
Steam train in Williamsburg.
Did you know that the Griffith is named after a mythical beast,
one of the tallest roller coaster inversions in the world?
Is this the ultimate tour?
Busch Gardens, Williamsburg, Virginia.
You've got to come here because I love it.
It's voted one of the best parks in the world for their scenery.
I can see them here grilling this stuff right on this grill.
It might be time for trappers.
It's time for lunch because barbecue sounds delicious.
These desserts look good, don't they?
Cheesecake, chocolate cake.
They're just picking sides.
I'm getting a sampler platter.
I think that's farther down.
That's the sampler platter.
It's got brisket. It's got ribs.
It's got chicken and fries.
Look at that brisket.
It just pulls apart.
That looks incredible.
Very moist.
Excellent crispy french fries.
Fall off the bone ribs.
Look at that.
This may be the best thing in the park.
This bread is so fresh.
No butter needed.
That's a yeasty roll.
My wife loves these things.
I'm just going to sit here, enjoy this, and we'll get back to some rides.
That's heaven.
Look at this chocolate cake.
I'll tell you one thing.
Those ribs were some of the best I've ever had.
And that chicken.
It tastes just like a chocolate lava cake.
Jerry.
Look at this little tree house.
All the kids playing.
Looks like they've got a little splash zone right here to get wet.
Looks like this is where you go in.
For this ride.
And then you come out that way.
I wonder if I can get in there.
Let me give you a little piece of advice.
Walk back all these little tree lines.
Because there's rides tucked in everywhere.
There's like four kiddie rides right here.
Hey you.
Hey you dragon.
How many rides are we up to?
I'm losing count here.
Such a beautiful colored park.
They do kid shows here.
I just realized this dragon that I just videoed goes all the way over there underground.
I don't know.
Maybe that's his tail right there.
I think it's time.
I think it's time to get wet.
Come on.
Dump that.
Dump that right on me.
Go.
Here it goes.
Oh, you missed.
Here's a classic.
The carousel.
I should get on this.
I'll tell you one thing man.
Every corner you turn around is something different.
There's a fountain right there.
I don't know who the guy is though.
It's not a guy.
It's a lady.
But do you see the thing that goes around up top there?
That is so cool.
It just reminds me of some kind of like fantasy land in here.
There's the Nutcracker store.
But look at this architecture here.
Make sure you're exploring this place.
I guess this is part of Germany.
But do you see all these steins over here?
They are simply incredible, right?
They even got, looks like a Christmas section back in here.
Burgermeister's Hideaway.
How you doing?
That's my good side.
Wait.
Alright, who doesn't like this for the ride besides me?
I don't like things that go around like this.
But I do like to see it in action.
Alright, we continue on.
I don't know what country we're heading to.
There's just so many in here.
Oh my God, if you could smell this popcorn here right now.
Rhine River Cruise down here.
I'm trying to get to Pompeii.
He said go down this hill, you go back up a hill.
Get a map or download the map.
Don't do what I'm doing.
Okay, I got to the bottom.
I'll get to Pompeii.
This is the river cruise.
Looks like they run a couple boats here sometimes.
But it's not busy today.
Over there's the Loch Ness.
And now we go on a relaxing river cruise.
To the extreme Pompeii boat ride.
Once you get off that boat ride.
We're walking over.
We're trying to find that other big boat.
The Pompeii ride.
Man, look at all the turtles in here.
Hey guys.
This is one thing Busch Gardens is known for.
Their Clydesdales.
Beautiful animals.
Sesame Street Funland.
ABC's.
Staying cool school kids.
You get to work here one day.
Alright, now we're into some fun.
Forest of Fun by Sesame Street.
Oh my God.
There's a baby Loch Ness ride.
Yeah, parents.
Put a bathing suit on your kids.
They got a small little water park area in here.
It's called Elmo's Castle.
That's the Whirly Worm.
Now that looks like fun.
I think the parents are even having fun.
On the Whirly Worm.
Ha ha.
Speed this up a little bit.
Ta da.
I made it to Pompeii.
Escape from Pompeii.
This is pretty cool inside.
It's actually got fire and stuff.
At least it used to.
There it is.
It emerges.
Come on.
Splash me.
See what I mean about these gardens.
We're coming into Italy.
One of my favorite areas in this park.
But this is beautiful.
It's like you're walking into Italy in here.
They have one of my favorite things to eat down here.
Chicken Parmesan.
I wonder if they still have it.
Marco Polo Marketplace.
Looks like they've got Asian stuff right here.
Over here is some rotisserie chicken.
And the Italians over here.
When you come to Italy, you've got to have gelato.
Cake batter.
I'm holding the camera.
But look at that.
That is delicious.
Alright, there it is.
This is the famous Verbolton.
It is probably one of my favorite roller coasters in this park.
You get to ride in one of these.
Hope it does better than this one.
Alright, there it goes.
I think they were working on it or something was wrong with the track.
But it looks like a car.
Alright, you're not having fun at an amusement park until you find the bumper cars.
Yes, they've got one in Busch Gardens.
Make sure you're watching my Canoval videos.
Those ones are fast.
I don't know about these.
They're too slow for me.
Alright, there's the beer.
The stein.
And the pretzel, which I have not found yet.
Where's that at?
Alright, this is the Festhaus.
If you ask people what the best food is, you always come back to this one.
But I think it's about the seating inside.
Check out this place inside.
There is no shortage of tables in this place.
If you're a beer drinker, I bet this place is crazy in the month of October.
I don't know.
Every time you come to Williamsburg, it seems like it's Oktoberfest every single time I come here.
Do you see how massive this food hall is?
Here's the stage in the middle.
And then you go to the other side and there's more seating.
Over here.
Oh my God.
This is the place to have an Oktoberfest.
But there is no shortage of beer in this place.
Look at all these taps they got here.
I think they got it all.
Sliced pie.
Oh my God, Williamsburg.
I don't know any of these.
Here's some of the food you can get into the Festhaus.
All kinds of desserts.
They got apparently a great cake up here.
If you found this place, you found the arcade.
You got all your games in here.
Your racing games.
Your shooting games.
Your claw games.
All in here.
Oh, this is cool.
I don't remember this last time.
This is a huge jewelry store.
Doesn't every park seem to have some kind of a teacup ride?
Do you see what's behind here?
It's a roller coaster called Pantheon.
Let's go see what that is.
Pantheon.
Do you see the tower back there?
It looks like a drop shield.
Alright, here it goes.
Here it comes back down.
Alright, this is unique at Busch Gardens.
I don't think I've ever seen this at an amusement park.
A pet care center.
You can drop your pets off here while you're getting on rides.
Looks like a kennel kind of deal.
Alright, I think I found it.
Homemade pretzels right here.
Oh my God, if you can smell this place.
Look at those pretzels.
Alright, that's a wrap.
I got my pretzel.
I'm out of here.
I had a long day.
Make sure you're watching my next video because tomorrow we're going to Water Country USA.
Make sure you're liking and subscribing.
Oh, that is excellent.
Homemade there.
There's so much butter on that.
I love it.
Here's Apollo's chariot.
You can't forget this.
These locker rentals I was telling you about.
But here comes Apollo's chariot.
That's a big hill.
But do you see what's right under it?
I love it because these things are all over the park.
These big fans to cool down on a hot day.
They're all over this park.
Ah.
