Busch Gardens Announces ‘DarKoaster,’ First Indoor Straddle Roller Coaster “Only For the Bravest Souls”


A spooky new experience is coming to Busch Gardens Williamsburg next year.

The theme park announced the world’s first all-indoor straddle roller coaster, “DarKoaster,” will open in 2023.

The new ride will be located where “Curse of DarKastle” used to be and is set to pay homage to the coaster which closed in 2017.

According to BuschGardens.com, parkgoers will travel on snowmobiles across 2,454 feet of track, “daring explorers race through total darkness while changing course to avoid the elements. As the weather strikes, riders encounter four accelerating launches on this family-friendly dark ride experience.”

“Only the bravest souls will embark on snowmobiles in this dark expedition to discover the mysterious phenomenon. A supernatural force is imminent as explorers discover that they are evading more than just a raging storm.”
