COVID-19’s Impacts on BGW
- Thread starter WDWRLD
- Start date
I seen equipment there before at a guess it's probably related to the construction next door at the Old Village Shop site.
I got to the park around 5:30. It's possible it was 6 sharp by then, or slightly earlier. Heard normal (awesome) Pompeii area music from the parking lot.
That is better than all day.
My understanding is that BGW's unofficial and possibly official policy is check them if they are 80% or above in booking below that don't worry about it. WCUSA has been filling up a lot more consistently then BGW so that may be why one appears more consistent in checking then the other.
Nope still there on the home screen.

San Antonio becomes the first SEAS park (other than water parks) to get rid of reservations:
Somebody wrote a Letter to the Editor in todays' local newspaper (Daily Press) about the reservation system at BGW and WCUSA. They didn't have anything good to say about the reservation system at BGW.
Well let’s see, for starters you can litterally put 12345678910, 77777777777, or even the number 11 and get a reservation.
They don’t check them. There is no longer a barcode to scan. And they do not staff based on reservations like any sensible business would. I’ve gotten used to it but it’s definately not a great system as it is right now.

Step 1: Pick a Day You Want to Visit BGW
Step 2: Make a Reservation for Yourself
Step 3: Get a VPN
Step 4: Write a Script to Book Thousands and Thousands of Reservations with Randomly Generated Fake Pass IDs for That Day Until the Day is "Booked"
Step 5: Enjoy an Empty BGW and Watch the Reservation System Quickly Vanish
Obviously no one should do this, but, theoretically, someone could do this—assuming it's even possible for a day to be fully booked anymore.
Not sure Seaworld Orlando is doing them either. We stopped in yesterday last minute and I quickly checked the app and couldn’t find anything about reservations and they didn’t ask for one.
Also, you can hire college kids to do things like repeatedly book reservations like you mentioned…..and fairly cheap. No need for fancy computer programs.

You were supposed to keep the master plan a secret till after they opened Pantheon and we had our BGWfans only ride day.
Don't forget to call and legitimize the more questionable names...
It’s cheaper and easier just to have the college kids write a fancy computer program. They probably already have one they use to buy up PS5s and Xboxes.
The website has a new banner: "Reservations are NO LONGER REQUIRED for Busch Gardens Williamsburg. See you soon!"
How convenient I don't have to do some BS on the website prior to arrival now.
How else am I going to reserve the whole park for myself Was on number 14,683
