This Winter Coaster In Virginia Will Take You On The Ride Of A Lifetime

If you thought going to the theme park was an activity for summers only, you'll want to reconsider. Take Busch Gardens for example. This incredible park in Williamsburg is completely decked out for winter, transforming each year into a complete Christmas Town. In addition to the beautiful light displays and shows, there are also roller coasters available. If you haven't visited this season, it's time to bundle up and enjoy the rides offered here.

Beautiful anytime of year, the iconic Busch Gardens illuminates each winter into a Christmassy theme park.

First, take a stroll around Christmas Town, an entire world dedicated to all things Christmas.

With over a million Christmas lights, this display is one of the largest in all of North America.

If you're ready to brave the elements, you can pick a ride to go on.

Fortunately, there are plenty to choose from, even this time of year.

By far, one of the most thrilling rides of 2016 is known as Tempesto.

This thrilling, gravity-defying ride will take passengers up to 150 feet in the air.

(Holiday costumes not necessary, but highly encouraged!)

With speeds reaching up to 62 miles per hour, it's a ride that can be dizzying and invigorating.

For anyone looking for an equally enchanting, less thrill-seeking ride, there are other rides to choose from.

Featured above is Grover's Alpine Express, a train designed for smaller guests that provides a scenic view of the park.

Other winter rides available include bumper cars, air plane rides, train rides, an antique Carousel, and more.

Just watching these rides from afar can be a mesmerizing experience.

Even if you decide to stay on the ground, you'll be in for a real treat at the Busch Gardens Winter Town this season.

Grab a warm drink, something to snack on, and enjoy all the lights!
