DarKoaster, Busch Gardens’ newest roller coaster, opens Friday
Busch Gardens Williamsburg's newest roller coaster, the DarKoaster, opens Friday, May 19, bringing the park's coaster count to 10. The first all-indoor "straddle coaster" offers a 2,454-foot, two-minute-long ride and has a 36 mph max speed, making it more accessible for families than many of the park's "extreme thrill" coasters.
