Busch Gardens Williamsburg Park Maps

[The Hessian]

I noticed there are quite a few maps missing from the recent years and since I have maps for all seasons of the park from 2012 to current I'll try to see if I can get them scanned on to my computer.

I used to have some 2001 and 2002 maps that were in the style of the 1997 map, but sadly I don't have it anymore. Wish I still had it. Used to have a fair bit of theme park maps.

Here's a park map... about a year before the park opened.

I never, ever knew there was a ferry crossing between Germany and what is now Scotland.

Makes sense since there wasn't a floating pedestrian bridge down there yet. But still. Wow.

I'm partial to the Ham and Peanut Shop in England.

I've never seen that map before. Great find @GrandpaD!

@halfabee the 1975 map has the bridge we're all familiar with. I assume the ferry was cut during construction?

Good point. That would explain it.

I was wondering where any contemporary remnants of that trail down to the Scotland dock would have been, since it has more twists than the current straight staircase and it seems to alight on a different point of the shoreline. Nonexistence is the simplest explanation.

 

[GrandpaD]

Other than the map, there was one article also in 1974 that mentioned the ferry. That was the last mention I saw.

I feel like an amateur Busch Gardens scholar now. But a really biased one who comes into the field of study already 100% convinced that it's the greatest thing ever.

Pretty sure I'm a Busch Gardens cleric.

Does anyone have the back of a 2009/2010/2011 Howloscream map? I’m interested in the showtimes. Thanks.

 

[Applesauce]

I believe I do, but I'm about to head to work, so if somebody else can grab it in the mean time.

If not I'll take a pic when I get home.

I couldn't find a BGW Map specific thread to post this in. But: Historically (as I was looking) Apollo and Nessie don't have trains on their tracks. When Pantheon gets on the map, does anyone thing we'll finally see them get trains.

We were cleaning, and happened to find this map. There's no year on it that I can see. But I'd have to guess it's 2005-2006 considering the focus on DarKastle.



Things of note on the back of the map:
France Bistro was around as the Park's full service restaurant.
The Fairy Lore Players in LotD.
The Beer School was still being offered
And I think there was no show in the Abbey Stone, and Irish Festival was a street party, as this seems to be a map from pass member preview day.

EDIT: I'm just blind the map is from 2006. It says so on the front.

 

[Gavin]

It's from Sunday March 19th, 2006 to be exact.

I literally just saw the year. I wasn't paying attention to the side of the map beyond "Busch Gardens Europe"

 

[Celticdog]

I'm curious. Does anyone know exactly what the "Irish Festival" was about?

 

[Jonesta6]

If I remember correctly, wasn't that the festive atmosphere with the tinkerer show thing? Or maybe the successor show with that really odd 'girlfriend' over the roofline thing?
