Apollo's Chariot is a steel roller coaster at the Busch Gardens Williamsburg amusement park in James City County, Virginia, United States.

Apollo's Chariot has been well received, consistently ranking in the top 10 of the annual Golden Ticket Awards from Amusement Today.

Apollo's Chariot was announced on September 5, 1998, as the tallest and fastest roller coaster at Busch Gardens Williamsburg.

[2] An article in the Daily Press on January 23, 1999, mentioned that the ride was nearing completion with approximately 20 pieces of track left to be installed.

[6][7] Italian fashion model Fabio Lanzoni was brought in to promote the new roller coaster; this was part of Busch Gardens Williamsburg's annual program of celebrity appearances.

After the pre-drop, the train goes down a 210 foot (64 m) drop toward a water-filled ravine at a 65-degree angle and reaches a top speed of 73 miles per hour (117 km/h).

[14] In July 2019, a guest from Virginia Beach sued Busch Gardens Williamsburg's parent company SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment.

The guest claimed that he had suffered severe injuries on Apollo's Chariot due to the previous year's emergency-stop incident.

[15][16] When Apollo's Chariot opened, the Daily Press described it as setting "a new standard in stomach-churning fun", enhanced by the fact that the ride had 26 seconds of airtime.

[17] In Amusement Today's annual Golden Ticket Awards, Apollo's Chariot has consistently ranked highly.
