The Big Bad Wolf: The Wolf's Revenge is a family inverted roller coaster in the Oktoberfest area of Busch Gardens Williamsburg in Virginia. Built by Bolliger & Mabillard, it opened on May 23, 2025, as a successor to the park's original Big Bad Wolf, a suspended coaster that ran from 1984 to 2009. It stands on the former site of Drachen Fire.
Riders sit below the track and travel through an abandoned Bavarian village where, in the park's story, a wolf that once turned the townsfolk into werewolves has returned. The ride has 2,583 feet of track, two chain lift hills and a top speed of 40 mph, with no inversions; Wikipedia gives a maximum height of 67 feet. It was the second B&M family inverted coaster in the United States, after Phoenix Rising at Busch Gardens Tampa.
Riders must be at least 42 inches tall when riding with a companion, and no taller than 77 inches.
