Yeah the website dates can and will change at any time. Probably most likely they are just changing the date so that people don't try to plan a trip in August with the hope that the park will open.
COVID-19’s Impacts on BGW
- Thread starter WDWRLD
- Start date
Interesting to see that Busch Gardens Williamsburg is hoping to announce an update "soon"
Why do I feel their announcement is going to be that they are staying closed for the summer and opening for Howl-O-Scream? They might also share something about Pantheon.
Unless something has changed since a couple days ago (or unless something changes in the next few days), expect a reopening announcement. Everything I’ve heard says it’s coming. It’s all fluid of course, but I’m comfortable saying that the plan—and the progress towards enacting it—are both very real.

I have, but nothing that I’m confident enough in (let alone able) to share.
Everything is fluid, but things sound very good this weekend. In my opinion, what happens early next week (possibility of restriction changes due to spikes in Hampton Roads) is the wildcard right now.

I have a notice in my bank app that BGW has sent a payment request for this month. That seems like a clue of coming plans. Not that it helps us any since we still can't go in these circumstances.
I thought everyone's payments were being made every month during the closure. Not sure why your bank telling you that your July payment is being taken out of your account is a clue of coming plans.
Juts drive around the cones! You're so close!!
Are you implying that the governor would specifically change his policies for the singular purpose of “screwing over” a large regional theme park in his state?
One of the options, of many iterations, at the beginning of things was to have payments paused until re-opening. It was an assumption of why charges have been reinstated. That is what the word "seems" means. That is why there is wording about those who did not deferred receive the level upgrade. I persoanlly have no idea what they are up to. Caught up now?

Im not implying im out right saying it. Ocean Breeze got screwed over too when they tried opening following all the kings rules, they thought they were within guidelines and last minute they were not. And yes, the King has not been willing to work with the parks to acomplish a path to opening, that is very obvious and I would not doubt one bit if BGW anounced todat they would open with a 1000 limit that on Tuesday he would come out and say that do to the science and metrics that he is no longer comfortable with the 1000 peoson limit and that 750 or 500 is more reasonable. Then what does the park do, only honor 500 reservations, not open at all?
I know know you will move this to the political thread to hide it but this is exactly what I think will happen this week.
Yes, caught up now, but would have been nice mentioning that you were paused in your earlier post.
I don't see BGW opening this year to be honest. Yes, it appears that they are putting plans in place to do so, but it will all be for nothing. With colleges starting up in a few weeks and many of them testing returning students, expect cases to increase by a big amount in mid to late August, and the governor will shut things down again.
Yes, I think you might be right. He keeps teasing the idea on more lockdowns and with increased testing people with no symptoms that feel completely healthy can pop positive and never knew they were infected. I wonder though in past years how many people would have tested positive for the flu but never really felt sick enough to actually get tested. What if everyone was requiring flu tests in years past?
