About Apollo's Chariot

Apollo's Chariot is a steel roller coaster at Busch Gardens Williamsburg in Williamsburg, Virginia, USA, open since 1999. The ride stands 170 feet tall, drops 210 feet and reaches 73 mph over 4,882 feet of track.

A hypercoaster built into a wooded ravine, so several of its biggest hills are actually below the height of the lift, giving unusually strong airtime for its size.

Field note: named after the sun god's chariot in Greek mythology, fitting the park's European theming.
