Track layout

The Big Bad Wolf comes out of the station in a train of seven cars. There is a very small drop and then the train takes a sharp left then right up to the first lift hill. The train then reaches the top and descends down a 40 or so degree angle, reaching speeds of around 50 mph. The train then steers its way though a Bavarian village, narrowly missing houses and shops.The cars then hit a section of brakes leading them to a right turn to the next lift hill. This chain lift takes the riders up to an approaching 80-foot drop. This drop after the second lift hill sends riders barreling straight towards the Rhine River, swooping right above the water, and making that image one of the most classic coaster images ever. The dive toward the water is also helped because the cars are below the track, making it even more convincing. After this close encounter with the fish, the train twists and turns and slowly makes its way back up to the station.

Trivia

  • The Big Bad Wolf is one of the few coasters with two lift hills, the second of such in Busch Gardens Europe. The Loch Ness Monster is the other.
