InvadR is a wooden roller coaster in the New France area of Busch Gardens Williamsburg in Virginia, themed to a Viking invasion. Great Coasters International built it to a design by Jeff Pike and Skyline Design, and it opened on April 7, 2017. The park describes it as Busch Gardens' first wooden coaster.
The ride has 2,118 feet of track, a 74-foot drop and a top speed of 48 mph, with no inversions. The park lists nine airtime hills, tunnels and high-banked turns. Its Millennium Flyer trains, each with eight two-seat cars, came from Gwazi, a closed wooden coaster at Busch Gardens Tampa, and were refurbished for InvadR.
Riders must be at least 46 inches tall.
