Busch Gardens Williamsburg Park Maps

[Party Rocker]

2012 Illuminights map is very large for my scanner but I will be working on getting a final scan of it for here.

EDIT: So I scanned the map 4 times to get the full map, and then edited the pictures to all match together to create 1 full image of the park map. This is what I got.

I have a 2012 HOS map. Admins/mods if you want me to scan it i'll try to do it tomorrow.

I may be able to scan some howl-o-scream maps that aren't on here.

Here is the CT 2012 Map...

I have found out that the printer and supplier of the park maps as well as other printed material, is Designer's Press Inc. They print approximately 2,000 to 8,000 park maps per day. The number varies as they print them throughout the day to keep with demand of the maps. If anyone was interested in that. However I am not sure if they have always done the park maps or if what other suppliers they have had in the past but this is the current one.

I'm more curious who the designer of the map is.

^Great website for theme park maps. They have them from theme parks all over the country. They also have a TON of old BG maps from way back when. They also have theme park brochures.

Also, in the 2013 map, they now identify where there are steep hils and where there are stairs. Don't know if it is an old thing, but it's on the 2013 maps.

Yea I noticed that too. But the only hills and stairs they mark is the Bridge that goes under LNM, and the big hill at Jack Hanna's wild reserve. In my opinion There are a lot of others, but I think they don't want to mark them because then the alternate route would also have steep hills.

 

[Hoopla]

If the marked all the hills, the entire park would be marked.

Honestly there aren't any major hills if you walk from Pompeii thru Italy, thru Oktoberfest to Germany. Key word there is major. Scotland is made up of hills, and then in New France there is one or two.

Then BGW hamlets are representative of those countries. Scotland especially.

The worst hill is the one after the wolves. Climbing that hill gives me my daily workout.

Are you saying you have never journeyed through the middle of the park to climb the hill to Dragon Land? :shocked:

 

[Hoopla]

Oh ya, my family always races up that hill. That is a very tough hill, and the stairs don't help.

So we are pretty far into the season and we don't have the 2013 map on the OP. Anyone have a good image of it?

 

[IndyRacingNut]

The 2013 map is the same as the 2012....It still has Bistro 205 on it, as a matter of fact. Go figure.

While it is true the pdf on the BGW website is the same, the actual paper map is not.

^^
Here you go:

I'll get a much better one soon.
