The invasion of the InvadR at Busch Gardens Williamsburg went smoothly and was celebrated with fanfare on its public unveiling Friday, April 7.

The new wooden roller coaster debuted at the Virginia park following a short ceremony to mark its opening, with a large crowd flocking to experience a deceptively fast and twisting ride.

InvadR, which weaves through several other park attractions in New France Village near LeScoot water ride, has a maximum speed of 48 mph. However, that number doesn't speak to how quick the ride feels when riding, with its 74-foot drop following a tunnel, nine air-time hills and some tight turns, including one at a 45-degree angle.
