Griffon reviews
Theme Park Insider readers offer their ratings and reviews for Griffon, a roller coaster at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. (The minimum height to ride is 54 inches.)
Written by tanner harmon After you’re taken 205 feet into the air, the Griffon mercilessly eases you over the edge. And stops. For a brief moment, you find yourself looking down--straight down--at the ground below as you're suspended above it. Then down you plunge 90 degrees straight toward the ground at racing speeds faster than 70 miles per hour. And that's only the beginning … Minimum Height Requirement [Update this description | Read previous versions]
Readers' rating:
Although only five feet taller than SheiKra, it packs more punch as it has a second Immelmann, and is longer. - Jorge Arnoldson Go early and go often For the Nay Sayers: lighten up it is an excellent ride in an excellent park. - vernon griffin 7/10 The view of the river from the top was the best part of this coaster. The drops, despite being ninety degrees weren't too thrilling. - Andrew Carrieri This sucked so much! they made a huge mistake of getting rid of drachen fire. This coaster is not even the biggest coaster in virginia. This ride was way overated and was not all that intense. BGE should tear down this coaster and put in a schrazkkoph thriller. - Steven D While this ride is a lot of fun and definitely a commendable addition to BGE I think it's too short and it is based on a couple gimmicks that don't make up for it's lack of length and creativity (its almost a direct lift of the floorless coaster at BGA - Tom Rigg Although I have yet to go to Cedar Point, this is by far the best coaster I have ever been on. I rode it 3 times just so I could sit in each row once. I was in the middle of the front row one of the rides, which was nice to see. This is truly an original ride, and worth the wait. - Michael Scott This is my favorite coaster. Ever. I absolutely LOVE Griffon. It's just... amazing. Words cannot describe the feeling when you sit in the front and dangle towards the ground. - Chase Gray This no ordinary rollercoaster. This is a beast of a ride. I bought the fast pass ticket there so I rode it three times and each time was diffrent. The front row was the scariest on the holding break but besides that the back row is much scarier wilder and rougher! 10/ 10 - Jacob Ferguson Some Say Its Short, I Say It Still Packs A Punch. Amazing Ride in an Amazing Park! - Ali Salem My personal favorite coaster at Busch. The front row is very much worth the wait. I loved sitting right on the edge as it felt like nothing was under me. The fact that it holds you at the top before the drop was the best part. - Ryan Quinn More attraction and restaurant ratings:
