I LOVE IT!
Ever since I can remember, my family has always taken trips to Busch
Gardens. For starters, it’s only a 45 minute drive from my home in
Norfolk, VA. As I got older, the frequency of these trips increased
significantly, so we started purchasing season passes. These memberships
were affordable and convenient, quickly becoming every year’s Christmas
present and a way to fix a boring day. After while, I prided myself as a
Busch Gardens enthusiast, developing a liking for every ride there.

Fun Filled Days
Every time I go to Busch Gardens, I have an order as to how I go
about the day or the time there.
• Get on Loch Ness Monster, make my way to Apollo’s Chariot, follow
up with Alpengeist, and save Griffon for last.
• This method is efficient because the park is basically a big circle.
*Weather permitting, water rides may be included.
• Dinner is always eaten after Griffon at Trapper’s Smokehouse, which
is located right across from it
• Upon exit of the park, I usually get a cup of Cookies & Cream
Dippin’ Dots ice cream to end the trip off right.

APOLLO’S CHARIOT
This roller coaster is one of the main
reasons I love Busch Gardens
Williamsburg so much. Not only is it an
entertaining ride, but it brings back many
memories. From Fabio’s unfortunate
encounter on his ride, to remembering
how I caught the beginning of the huge
fireworks display as I rode into the night
sky, I will forever love Apollo’s Chariot
as my favorite roller coaster.

VERBOLTEN
One of the newest additions to Busch
Gardens, this ride is hopefully just what
Busch Gardens needs to boost its
attendance back up. Replacing the classic
Big Bad Wolf roller coaster, this multi-
launch coaster takes rider on an
adrenaline-charged trip through the
Black Forest. Although I have not
personally experienced it, I can’t wait to.

FEEDBACK
I believe this project really helped me hone my PowerPoint skills.
Although I already knew how to use it and no features that needed to
be included in this presentation were new to me, it helped me
remember all the things that I can do to create a visually appealing
PowerPoint.
