Apollo's Chariot reviews
Theme Park Insider readers offer their ratings and reviews for Apollo's Chariot, a roller coaster at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. (The minimum height to ride is 52 inches.)
Written by vernon griffin Born of myth and imagination, Apollo's Chariot soared high up on the list of favorite coasters when it debuted--and hasn't come down since.
While it's consistently ranked as one of the top 10 steel coasters in the world, few rides come close to the experience waiting for you here. Like the Olympian sun god, Apollo's Chariot races toward daring heights, only to dazzle riders on the way back down with one of the smoothest, fastest trails ever blazed. From mind-bending 4G climbs to the weightless wonder of floating airtime, you'll see what has kept coaster enthusiasts coming back for more year after year--and why Apollo's Chariot reigns as one of the mightiest coasters of all time.

My third favorite rollercoaster in the world tied with Titan and after top thrill dragster and millenium force. This ride loads up fast but the ride ops always slow things down by telling jokes and other things like that. It mabye the smallest B/M hypercoaster, but it is one of the best. - Steven D Outstanding coaster. One of my top five. Great airtime and smooth. - Rob Pastor In the front, this is a 9.5/10. Other seats, it's an 8. I love the smoothness of the ride. The design of the seats really helps add to the thrill. Nice airtime. - Roger S FAV COATER EVER!!! - Tyler Bell One of the best B&M coasters in the US. Love the classical music as you go up the hill. My only gripe is that Apollo is a Greek god, not Roman. - Jorge Arnoldson More attraction and restaurant ratings: |
