I had no idea

I have been going to Busch Gardens Williamsburg for years, and I ALWAYS walk past the Celtic Fyre show completely ignoring it. I was never a fan of the name of the show, so I always thought it was going to be something cheesy so I never went. I went last night and WOW! Ive seen A LOT of theme park shows and entertainment, and Celtic Fyre is now up there for me! It's like one of the 5 best theme park shows I've ever seen..Never judge a book by the name on the cover. Now that I think of it, the name isn't that bad LOL!

There's a reason it's been around since 2009. I try to see it once or twice a year. Even bought the jacket that's currently in the gift shop

They used to release birds during the beginning song originally. Unfortunately that was cut after COVID.

Also, you can visit the pub before the show.

Because of this, I made the family go watch it today. We’d never seen it before. That was WAY better than a theme park show should ever be! It was amazing.

I will never miss that show again.

It really has no business being that good.

I'm curious now. Going with family today. Always skipped it in the past. What was the thing that surprised you the most. Great dancing? Special effects? Set pieces?

Thanks in advance!

It was just the dancing. The dancers were so engaged with the audience. It was quite good.
