In case you didn't know:

"You don't have to wait until Pass Member Preview Day to get a reprint. Visit Busch Gardens' Guest Relations between 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. on Mar. 2, 3, 9 or 10 and you will be able to purchase, reprint, upgrade or redeem your Annual Pass. Enter through the employee entrance and park in the England parking lot. "

That will be so much nicer as I hardly ever have the patience to wait in line for a new season pass while people are walking past me to the gate. For some reason, I turn into a little five year old when this happens. I'm glad passes can be printed and ready before hand so I can just leisurely stroll into the park come day one.

I just saw the new spring commercial on TV for BuschGardens VA

Well it looks like the guy who made the Christmas town videos for BuschGardens filmed it considering the video quality. And it showed a few slow-motion takes of Verbolten on the second launch and some Slow motion takes of Griffon and Alpengeist. That's the best I can explain it.

wow, so rides in slow motion this year...don't think that will be fun...

Thanks! However, they could've added a little more theme to it..... Okay maybe a lot more theme. :dodgy:

 

[Thomas]

Yeah, it should have more pre-industrial European film footage sprinkled in.

 

[netdvn]

What? And not include Alpengeist or Verbolten. D:

I don't remember the BG commercials ever being "themed" to anything (other than the new ride/attraction commercials).

I don't have DVR so I can't record anything. The commercials are sorta like those CF "Thrills Connect" commercials but with less screaming. Just a bit of ride footage and the mom talking about how Busch is awesome.

- D, You may have been born in a house, but you were born for Busch Gardens

 

[Planeteer]

I agree with the mom

I don't recall having to wait in line to get my pass renewed, but I am not doing the actual renewal in person (I do that through the webpage) then I just use the Kiosks. I also tend to arrive early that first day. I always see that big long line outside of the Guest Services building, and I think why not use the kiosks and/or website? Suppose it is all about people's comfort with technology.

I went last year just to do it. Was nice to be just inside the park for a short bit with only a few other people around. It was very relaxing. Took a few pics of some things, sat on a bench to enjoy some fresh air. It was nice to get outside and go somewhere I love for a half hour.

I'm only in that line to reprint a lost pass or fix any EZpay problems. Pro tip: they have a little window down to the left of the main turnstiles. Usually no line and they do everything the one up the hill does.

Please take a camera and do a bit of exploring up around the ticket booths. You aren't breaking any rules till you pass a sign.

 

[AlpenChrist97]

I am definitely taking pictures when I go on Preview day. Is there anything particular that you want photos of?

 

[destroyer421]

I would like a picture of Apollo's new paint if it's not too much to ask. :blush:

They want to be ready before opening day. After all they know how well many guest obey signs and fences!
