The Griffon is located in Busch Gardens Williamsburg. The ride wastes no time heading straight up to the 90 degree 205 foot drop, but waits right there at the edge for 5 seconds, just so you can enjoy the view!

Griffon has two drops and many twists and inversions, reaching speeds of over 70 miles per hour!

Griffon features stadium style seating, with three rows of ten seats. So "every seat is a good seat" on Griffon!
