No, NO, NOOOOOO!.  Why, just why, why now. I just went there recently how can this happen. Man what’s up with this year. So many people and icons are passing. Well, I going to miss it. I don’t about you guy’s, but when rides that had been part of your childhood are gone it’s seems like a part you dies. I miss Horizon at Epcot, Mr. Toad Wild Ride at Magic Kingdom, Fl, and 20,000 leagues under the sea. There were iconic rides and part of great memoirs and don’t get me started on Journey to Imagination at Epcot(WT@##).  Sorry, Sorry, about that. Well Big Bad Wolf, you been a great ride and I’m going to miss you. When I first heard and saw you I was terrified and now I couldn’t wait to ride you over and over again. It’s like a part of an era is ending. I do have a big question here for you Bush Gardens, why can’t you expanded? I been to your park recently and I saw a lot of room for more stuff. But if this
is a maintenance cost issue then I hope you guy’s have big plan for something to replace it AND IT BETTER BE GOOD!
Here some manufacture video and park promo video of the Big Bad Wolf. Take care wolf it’s been a great 25 year’s, Thanks for the ride. Man is there anyway we can have a ride tribute.

I would it's maintenance because they wouldn't just get rid of a great ride for nothing.

I'm upset that I never got a chance to ride it! I think it might be too late for me to plan a trip there before its gon. If i knew someone who would go then heck yea i'd be there.

I hear all the time this is the best suspended coaster existing in the US, so it kind of surprises me that they're doing this.

Alot of locals are already feeling the upcoming loss of the Big Bad Wolf up here in VA. Alot of folks here literally grew up with this coaster. My best memory of it was during a BGW Hall-O-Scream one year, where the mist that was being sprayed in the Oktoberfest area of the park seeped it's way into the wooded area and themed "German town" (in which the coaster would travel through.) Riding at night, The ride with the misty fog became a nice foreboding, creepy, experience that totally fit right in with Halloween. It was priceless. That moment was the ultimate for me with this ride.
I'm sooo gonna miss this.

Also isn't one of the first major coasters the local kids ride because of it's low height requirement[what I've heard]. BGW is killing people's childhood! If the ride's days are numbered mechanically then couldn't they contact s&s and see if they'll make the arrow ride for them?

The end has come. May you live on in our memories. From ride to legend, from track to ground. May all remember the ride at the speed of fright.
