Darkness descends in 2025 on The Big Bad Wolf: The Wolf’s Revenge, North America’s longest family inverted coaster! While trekking across the German countryside, riders become the beast on this all-new exhilarating adventure. The ride’s name came to life when our fans cast over 30,000 votes in a naming contest, sharing their own thoughts on what the name should be. We chose The Big Bad Wolf: The Wolf’s Revenge to build upon a beloved attraction in our park’s history. Thank you for your input, passion, and support in helping us bring back a beloved part of Busch Gardens Williamsburg. We can’t wait for you to experience this attraction next year!

Thanks for being a fucking piece of shit moron and coming where you're not want. Do you show up to people's houses randomly and say I just came here to tell you how much I hate you? Get a life, dipshit. Have fun being banned from here.

 

HAMPTON, Va. — On April 17, Mary the Tunnel Boring Machine emerged through the headwall at the Hampton end of the HRBT.

Exactly six months later, she's starting her next journey: creating the twin eastbound tunnel, headed toward Norfolk.

Crews are still working on installing fire suppression systems, jet ventilation and the roadway in the first tube.

 

SUFFOLK, Va. — On Oct. 18 at around 6:30 p.m., Suffolk police were called to the 100 block of Wellons Street after there had been reports of gunshots. After checking the area, police could not find a victim.

About 25 minutes later, a victim with a gunshot wound was reported at a local hospital, though the injury was reportedly non-life-threatening.

 

PORTSMOUTH, Va. — We continue to Verify claims made in local campaign advertisements. The first campaign ad in the Portsmouth mayoral race has aired where the vice mayor, Lisa Lucas-Burke, attacks the current mayor, Shannon Glover.

Are the claims in it true?

Let's Verify.

The ad, paid for and approved by Lisa Lucas-Burke, references a lawsuit filed by former city assessor, Patrick Dorris. The suit claims he was fired last year because "he refused to commit unlawful directives from [Mayor] Glover and [Councilman Bill] Moody to not tax the Elizabeth Manor Golf and Country Club.”

 

CHESAPEAKE, Va. — Virginia State Police (VSP) have arrested 19-year-old Jordan Kendrell Copeland in last week's shooting that stemmed from a road rage incident.

According to VSP, the shooting was the result of a road rage incident involving two vehicles traveling northbound on I-664 at the Pughsville Road off-ramp, around 5:19 p.m on Oct. 12. The victim of the shooting was a woman, VSP said, and sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

 

CHESAPEAKE, Va. — A local youth baseball team honored one of its player’s fathers at a tournament Saturday.

Virginia Beach firefighter Matthew Gallina’s son plays for the Tidewater Drillers U13 team. Gallina died in August from esophageal cancer, caused by occupational carcinogens.

The team wore matching fire department-inspired uniforms as part of the 'Field of Screams' tournament. Each team was able to choose a costume to wear on the field. Parents told 13News Now Saturday, they’re proud their sons chose to support the Gallina family.

Rapterra Update (lemmy.world)

The station house for #Rapterra is nearing closer to completion each day! #KingsDominion

 

The U.S. 2024 Election is about 2 weeks away now and I hope people realize that it doesn't really matter who wins because we're screwed no matter what happens.

Both major political parties have conspired with the rich and oligarchs and plutocrats to screw us all over the past 40+ years. Things just keep getting worse and worse and worse and worse no matter who has control.

Voting can't fix this. That's like trying to fix a flat tire by poking it with more holes. It's not going to work.

More @BuschGardensVA 2025 coaster track has been spotted in the Williamsburg area in route to the park! I imagine we'll be seeing a lot of these trucks in the weeks ahead! 😍

 

CHESAPEAKE, Va. (WAVY) — City council members in Chesapeake have been given the green light to construct what would be the tallest tower in Virginia. It is part of what will soon be a submarine cable manufacturing facility.

South Korean based LS Greenlink searched all across North America for the perfect site. They chose the area near Paradise Creek because of how close it is to deep water and adequate infrastructure.

At the Tuesday council meeting, company representatives and local leaders boasted the roughly $681 million investment for potentially bringing about 330 “high paying” jobs to the city.

 

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (WAVY) — In Newport News and in Virginia Beach, when no one dials 911, police can rely on technology such as the ShotSpotter system, which alerts police to the sound and location of gunfire.

ShotSpotter has been around for decades but is relatively new in Virginia. It keys on vibration the same way scientists detect earthquakes. Two local police chiefs swear by it, but some cities have dropped it.

Newport News Police Chief Steve Drew would be the first to let you know that his city is on track for far fewer shootings this year compared with last year. But in just a 10-day span last month, the city’s ShotSpotter system got horribly busy.

 

PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) — In a twist to the saga surrounding a houseboat that was beached at Portsmouth City Park, a source confirmed that its operator, Willie Gray, has been taken into custody by Virginia Marine Police for outstanding warrants and probation violations, primarily in Virginia Beach and Suffolk.

10 On Your Side had learned previously from law enforcement that the name of the operator of the Troy was Willie Brown. However, that turned out to be an alias, and Gray, indeed, is his real last name, as confirmed by his family.

Remember when judges said we couldn't keep giving "free money" to all these corporations over and over? Yeah me neither. Why is it that we always have to fight helping our own people but will walk through broken glass, nails, lava, etc., to help billion dollar companies and other countries?

[–] zerkrazus 4 points 1 month ago

Wow, what heartless assholes these fascist pigs are.

[–] zerkrazus 80 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yep. Cops don't protect and serve the people. They protect and serve capital, i.e. corporations, the rich, oligarchs, etc.

I could've said that was the reason before even reading this lol. It's obvious to anyone who lives here. Unless you want to join the military or get lucky with the shipyard or something like Ferguson, there's not much here. But hey if you want to work 10-20 hours/week for minimum wage with a random schedule, boy do we have something for you! Sure, you'll need to work 4-8 of these jobs to afford a 1 bedroom apartment on your own, but hey, you don't need time to do anything else like eat or sleep right?

They've been gentrifying the hell out of the region for years and years, letting rent skyrocket and wages stagnate at best and then act surprised when this is the outcome. No one can afford to live here, it's a joke.

I've heard people say that they know it's unconstitutional and their goal is to get someone to sue over it and take it to SCOTUS so SCOTUS can rule in their favor and give them free reign to violate the 1st amendment all they want.

[–] zerkrazus 17 points 3 months ago

Probably because they know Trump is full of shit.

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you, I appreciate the kind words.

You're welcome!

I hope you are able to stay safe.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK

At 1100 PM AST (0300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Beryl was located near latitude 10.4 North, longitude 51.2 West. Beryl is moving quickly toward the west near 20 mph (31 km/h). A continued quick westward to west-northwestward motion is expected during the next few days. On the forecast track, the center of Beryl is expected to move across the Windward Islands late Sunday night and Monday.

Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 85 mph (140 km/h) with higher gusts. Rapid strengthening is forecast over the next day or so, and Beryl is expected to become a dangerous major hurricane before it reaches the Windward Islands.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 15 miles (30 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 986 mb (29.12 inches).

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

Key messages for Beryl can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT2 and WMO header WTNT42 KNHC.

WIND: Hurricane conditions are expected in the hurricane warning area beginning Sunday night. Devastating wind damage is expected where the eyewall of Beryl moves through portions of the Windward Islands.

Tropical storm conditions are expected in the tropical storm warning area starting Sunday night, making outside preparations difficult or dangerous.

Tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area starting Sunday night.

Wind speeds atop and on the windward sides of hills and mountains are often up to 30 percent stronger than the near-surface winds indicated in this advisory, and in some elevated locations could be even greater.

STORM SURGE: A life-threatening storm surge will raise water levels by as much as 5 to 7 feet above normal tide levels in areas of onshore flow near where Beryl makes landfall in the hurricane warning area. Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves.

RAINFALL: Hurricane Beryl is expected to produce rainfall totals of 3 to 6 inches across Barbados and the Windward Islands Sunday night into Monday. This rainfall may cause flooding in vulnerable areas.

For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall and flash flooding associated with Hurricane Beryl, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at2.shtml?rainqpf

SURF: Swells generated by Beryl are expected to reach the Windward and southern Leeward Islands by late Sunday. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
