Mach Tower Opens at Busch Gardens Williamsburg

Update : 19:58 Published by François Mayné the 23 August 2011, New.

Busch Gardens’ Mach Tower℠ officially opened last August 19 ending months of anticipation from guests eager to ride the parks’ newest and tallest thrill attraction.

We know our guests have been eagerly awaiting the debut of Mach Tower,” said Park President Carl Lum. “During the manufacturer’s initial testing, some mechanical issues were discovered that caused the delay. Now that the ride is open, we are excited to share this amazing experience with our guests.

Mach Tower offers an incredible view as its 30-seat rotating carriage climbs nearly 73 meters above the park’s Oktoberfest village. Thrill elements experienced during the ride keep riders from becoming complacent on their journey to the top. Once riders get a few seconds to take in the view, the carriage plummets at breathtaking speed straight down the massive maypole-themed tower attraction.

We’re pleased our guests will be able to ride Mach Tower before the summer comes to a close, ” said Lum. “We allowed our guests a sneak peek earlier this week and the overwhelming comments have been, ‘it’s been worth the wait. ’”

Ray Beyer and his son Brandon were some of the lucky guests who experienced Mäch Tower during the sneak peek. “I thought it was great,” said Brandon, adding that the drop took his breath away. “Not being able to look down sort of freaked me out.”

Mach Tower anchors a newly rejuvenated Oktoberfest village featuring new game areas, performance spaces and a pretzel bakery serving some of the best pretzel-themed cuisine in the region.
