Busch Gardens Williamsburg Summer of Wonder 2024
- Thread starter Zachary
- Start date
My understanding is that BGW's summer event should somewhat mirror that of BGT's so look at those plans for hints as to what we will see.
So we’re getting Vanilla Ice too?!?!??? Maybe he can promote the new Rita’s
I think this topic brings up what could serve as an interesting thread and discussion. Mods/Zach - is there a thread to discuss and document the "thematic and experiential decline" in the park that Mushroom references here? If so, could you move this post there and if not, could we open a thread to discuss this in more detail? I realize the community in this forum generally mentions and discusses this as offhanded snips in many threads, but a full thread for detailed discussion could be fun (See: depressing, saddening, nostalgic). I worked at the park for almost ten years in various lower level and mid level management roles from right before the SeaWorld takeover (2008/2009) which some mark as the beginning of the said decline, so it could be a good conversation starter.

There have probably been others too, but those are the ones that I immediately pulled. If you think you have a unique angle to tackle it from, feel free to start a new thread. Otherwise, BGW's State of the Park thread is probably the best place for general lamentation re: BGW's decline.

It's PR Newswire, so it's a press release straight from the park. Also, those concerts are listed on BGW's website.
Yeah an hour after I posted it the park made a post about it and put it on their website
Full-ish details have been announced. Sounds like concerts and a few specialty menu items.

For everyone (like myself) who has been wanting a minimal-impact summer event, it looks like that's what we're getting!

There are more reasons than ever to make Busch Gardens Williamsburg the place for summer fun. Lasers, pyrotechnics, a popular neon dance troupe, cool zones plus other exciting offerings will make it a summer to remember. Join us this summer for thrill rides, entertainment and more during Summer...

American Jukebox Remix is coming back for this event. So at least there will be a quality show in the Globe this summer. It may not fit the theming, but it had all the elements of a quality theme park show. Most Davenport shows are consistent that way.
"Plus, FREE beer for Members and 50¢ beer for all guests!* "
Is that 50¢ and the surcharge or is the 50¢ the surcharge?

Shocking how little marketing there has been for this event given how close we are to the debut. Glad to see one original item announced though.

WAG is collaborating with Busch Gardens in their Summer of Wonder focus on art!!! WAG will be at the prost Pavilion for a chance to participate in the community mural or children's projects or watch plein air artists as they paint at different sites around the park! Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, June 15- August 11.Super neat collab. Feels a little Epcot Festival of the Arts for sure—and I have absolutely zero complaints about that. Odd that BGW hasn't announced this yet though. Event is right around the corner...
I like the idea of using the Prost Patio as a little place to showcase art and artists.
Same
Right. Like we are more shocked that WAG posted about it on Facebook before BGW.
