The Griffon Roller Coaster at Busch Gardens Europe, Williamsburg, Virginia

With Griffon there was no sitting around on the ground looking up at it...we were going to the top to fully check this ride out.

Bond had been looking forward to this part of the tour for the longest time as he's always wanted to walk around on the top of a lift.  So of course he was all grins.

Griffon has an extremely steep lift so Busch Gardens had B&M build an incline railway up the lift so that if they ever had to evacuate a train up here the process would go a lot quicker than having them walk all the way down.

Here's Bond and Mike up at the top of Griffon's 205 foot tall lift hill soaking it all in.
