InvadR is a wooden roller coaster at Busch Gardens Williamsburg amusement park in James City County, Virginia, United States.[1] The coaster was designed by American designer Skyline Attractions and built by American manufacturer Great Coasters International, and opened on April 7, 2017.[1] The ride features a 74-foot (23 m) drop, a maximum speed of 48 miles per hour (77 km/h), and a total track length of 2,118 feet (646 m).

History

After a three-month web-campaign on March 19, 2016, Busch Gardens Williamsburg announced that a new wooden roller coaster would be introduced in 2017.[2][3] The park let fans vote among three names – Viking Raider, InvadR, and Battle Klash – until April 1, 2016.[3] InvadR was ultimately chosen by the Internet poll.[1][4] On May 30, 2016, it was confirmed that trains from Gwazi, a defunct roller coaster at Busch Gardens Tampa, would be repurposed for InvadR. The attraction opened to the general public on April 7, 2017.[5][6][7]

Ride experience

After leaving the station, the train makes two right turns and climbs the 60-foot (18 m) chain lift hill.[8] Upon reaching the top, it makes a left turn, goes through a tunnel and drops 74 feet (23 m) at 48 miles per hour (77 km/h). The train makes a sharp right turn and ascends several airtime hills, before making a right and then left turn into a helix. Afterwards, the train enters the final brake run and returns to the station.
