Just got the below update (note the change in RED) on next weekend's VIP event, which I already RSVP'd for...

Perhaps a change made possible by a lack of RSVPs, but probably also an acknowledgment that weather has complicated the two preview weekends (they seemed to get through the wind “okay” all told) and they need to give some flexibility.
I was planning on skipping this, but I might make a trip up now.
Still only one cupcake, though? Rude.

I am thinking the exact opposite. Before it seemed somewhat more controlled with one ride per person, but my hunch is that it makes for a more chaotic experience.
That said, if this announcement results in fewer people heading to the park this afternoon, then I am all for it, as it will allow me to get that many more rides in on Pantheon later today.
Hopefully more of the park is opened up by next weekend as well. But yeah with everyone on capitalizing on these Pantheon marathons.
There might be some chaos, but it’s probably the smallest pool of people for rides - had to visit multiple times, had to RSVP, etc.I am thinking the exact opposite. Before it seemed somewhat more controlled with one ride per person, but my hunch is that it makes for a more chaotic experience.

Friday looks to be a sunny and warmer day with highs in the mid 50s. Then Friday night, rain will move in from the south. That will continue into the day Saturday. We might even see thunderstorms Saturday morning as our temperatures climb into the 60s. A few stronger storms are also possible, with gusty winds. Make sure you have a way to get weather alerts. Colder air will rush in Saturday afternoon bringing us a chance for some snow. Accumulations are not expected. It will also be windy on Saturday. Sunday will be calmer and chilly with highs in the 40s. Next week looks calm with sunny skies.
I'd say today is the day is you want to ride Pantheon. Saturday it probably won't run and Sunday might have a lot of delays for high winds.
Fair point on jumping through hoops, but keep in mind that Fun Card holders who met the criteria are also able to attend next weekend. Not sure what that does to the size of the pool of riders next weekend versus this weekend.
For those in the know, yes. For everybody else, they should skip BGW today and this weekend and stay home to give the rest of us more opportunities to ride.
Fun card holders were able to qualify? I thought the range the visits had to be in were after the fun cards expired.
I misspoke on Fun Cards. Here is who qualified...
To complete the Passport to Thrills program, just visit Busch Gardens Williamsburg two times by Oct. 31, 2021 as an Annual Pass Holder and three times by Dec. 31, 2021 as a Member, and we’ll email your special invitation. You must be opted in for emails and active through March 31, 2022 to participate. With Howl-O-Scream and The Count's Spooktacular, there are countless reasons to visit this year, so don’t wait to get started!
When I clicked on the Tumbili test run video the ad that came was a Pantheon ad showing people on it. How ironic.
Not ironic at all. Everybody buys ads based on keywords, including names of competitors.
Just got off my first ride. This is absolutely the most bat-shit insane coaster in the park, nothing compares. It felt like I305 at some points.
