Remember when Apollo's Chariot launched back in '99? Busch Gardens Williamsburg hailed their new coaster with a celebrity appearance from the one and only Fabio. Unfortunately for Fabio things didn't go as planned and while riding the coaster he was met head on by a goose with bad timing.

Well if you missed the live performance, perhaps this animated short will fill your need to see the big guy take a bird to the nose.

Oktoberfest, A Busch Gardens Classic

For nearly 200 years, people have been visiting Munich, Germany to participate in the world's largest beer festival, better known as Oktoberfest.  Oktoberfest is a 16-day extravaganza that occurs annually in the Bavarian capital and is enjoyed in one form or another in cities and towns around the world during late September and early October. 

Take a trip to Italy - aka Busch Gardens' Italy in Williamsburg 

No European adventure would be complete without a trip to Italy. Italy, Williamsburg-style.  Busch Gardens' quaint Italian village fuses world-class rides with romantic song and dance, master craftsmanship and authentic cuisine. Beautiful street-side statues, fountains and lush gardens enhance the Italian ambiance of this marketplace.

Brave visitors may tour the ruins of Mt. Vesuvius on Escape from Pompeii, a thrilling water ride with special effects. DaVinci's Garden of Inventions features rides for adults and children alike while entertaining performers fill the air with the wonderful music of Italy. Summer nights, however, belong to the "Starlight Orchestra." The sounds of Big Band music take center stage under the evening stars at Il Teatro di San Marco to salute the sounds of swing.

Headlining at the Canadian Palladium at Busch Gardens, Williamsburg, "American Jukebox" is a combination of favorite musical hits from the '50s, outrageous tunes from the '70s and contemporary country and pop chart-toppers of the '90s. It's fun for the entire family and a great way to relax and take a break. It's also conveniently located next to clean public restrooms!

Please check the show schedule on Busch Gardens website for dates and times.
