About Airtime Misfits Podcast

Welcome to the Airtime Misfits Podcast! We have a deep love and appreciation for defunct roller coasters and amusement parks of the past and this podcast is a great opportunity for us to keep the memories of these former attractions alive. Each episode will be will be dedicated to sharing the history, demise and our thoughts of one specific defunct park or coaster of the past. Be sure to check out airtimemisfits.com for some quality, handmade goods inspired by defunct coasters and amusement parks. — Airtime Misfits was founded by roller coaster enthusiasts for roller coaster enthusiasts. Like most of you, we seek every opportunity to ride shiny, new, record-breaking coasters and get that next coveted “credit.” It would be a disservice to our namesake, however, if we did not acknowledge the “misfit” coasters of yesterday. The ones in the back of the park. The ones that have been chopped down, re-purposed, re-imagined or otherwise forgotten. Thanks for checking us out!

   Episode 30 - Big Bad Wolf - The Legend Lives On...Sort Of

   Hey Friends! On this episode of the Airtime Misfits Podcast we're discussing Big Bad Wolf, formerly located at Busch Gardens Williamsburg in Williamsburg, VA.  Since opening in 1984, this coaster was loved by many park goers and enthusiasts alike.  So when it's closure was annouced in 2009, it left many Big Bad Wolf fans pretty upset.  Fear not because soon you'll be able to relive some of the magic of Big Bad Wolf, sort of.  In 2025, Busch Gardens Williamsburg will debut Big Bad Wolf: The Wolf's Revenge as a homage to the orginal.  Although the name is lacking in creativity and the ride itself doesnt look near as exciting as the original,  We're happy to see the park pay an homage to a previous iconic coaster.  Thanks so much for listening!
