Windsor Castle (Smithfield, Virginia)

Windsor Castle is a former plantation and now a public park in Smithfield, Virginia, United States. It is located in the Smithfield Historic District. History The plantation dates to a land grant of 1,450 acres (590 ha) by the King of England to Arthur Smith in 1637. Arthur Smith's great grandson, Arthur Smith IV, established the town of Smithfield in 1750. The first recorded use of the name "Windsor Castle" dates from 1884. In 2005, real estate developer Lewis McMurran obtained an option to purchase Windsor Castle for $2.2 million. The agreement included a historic easement around the manor house. McMurran proposed to build a 445-unit "New Urbanism" development on the property outside the historic easement. The proposal was withdrawn amidst strong opposition from town residents. In 2007, Joseph W. Luter III donated $5 million to the town for the purchase and development of Windsor Castle as a park. Lewis McMurran then executed his option to purchase the property. The town council voted to pursue the use of eminent domain to obtain the property. In 2009, an out-of-court agreement was negotiated for the town to purchase the property outside the historic easement for $3.8 million and for McMurran to donate to the town the property within the historic easement. The manor house and surrounding 208 acres (84 ha) were dedicated as a public park in 2010. The 46 acres (190,000 m2) immediately surrounding the manor house are protected by a historic easement controlled by the state of Virginia. The park was formally opened during a ceremony officiated by the Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell on May 22, 2010. The park was designed by Mr. Lawrence Pitt and features hiking trails, a dog park, a mountain bike trail, a fishing pier, and a canoe/kayak launch. The manor house overlooks the junction of Cypress Creek and the Pagan River. The King of All Places manor house (circa 1806) can be seen across Cypress Creek from the Windsor Castle property. On April 2, 2013, it was reported in the Virginian-Pilot that the Smithfield Town Council has leased five acres at Windsor Castle Park to Smithfield Winery LLC to establish a vineyard for a small-production winery. The vineyard operation was terminated in 2019. Gallery References Further reading Seventeenth Century Isle of Wight County, Virginia, by John Bennett Boddie, Heritage Books, 1993.

Woodstock Express (Kings Dominion)

Woodstock Express is a wooden roller coaster located at Kings Dominion in Doswell, Virginia. It opened as Scooby-Doo in 1974 after the Hanna-Barbera cartoon character. Despite being classified as a family roller coaster and located in the children's area of the park, the ride notably has a intensity rating of 4 out of 5. History Opening under the original name Scooby-Doo, the junior roller coaster was one of two attractions that opened during a preview event in 1974 prior to the park's official opening in May 1975 (the other was Lion Country Safari). The ride is located in an area of the park previously known as The Happy Land of Hanna-Barbera filled with other attractions that were also themed to cartoons of Hanna-Barbera studios. In 1997, the Kidzville section of the park was built up around the ride, and the name was extended to "Scooby-Doo's Ghoster Coaster". Following the purchase of Paramount Parks by Cedar Fair in 2006, Scooby-Doo and all other Hanna-Barbera themes were removed, and the roller coaster became simply known as Ghoster Coaster in 2010. In 2013, it was renamed again to Woodstock Express as part of the planned expansion of Planet Snoopy. ACE Coaster Classic Award Woodstock Express was recognized by the American Coaster Enthusiasts (ACE) as an ACE Coaster Classic and a plaque was awarded. The group has since removed the ride from their list due to design modifications which disqualify the ride. To be designated an ACE Coaster Classic, roller coasters must be made out of wood, not steel, and adhere to strict operational and design criteria including non-ratcheting lap bar restraints, no seat dividers or headrests, and free choice of seating for riders.

Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church Cemetery

Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church Cemetery is a historic Evangelical Lutheran cemetery and national historic district located near Speedwell, Wythe County, Virginia. The cemetery includes approximately 250–300 total gravestones. Forty two of the stones have dates ranging from the 1790s to 1840, but all were carved between about 1835 to 1840. It is likely that a skilled carver moved to the area in the mid-1830s and provided stones for many graves, which formerly had been marked with improvised stone or wooden markers, then completed his work by 1840. The thick sandstone markers are Germanic stones with surviving inscriptions. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.

Colonial Williamsburg

Colonial Williamsburg é um museu a céu aberto e uma fundação privada que apresenta uma parte do distrito histórico da cidade de Williamsburg, Virgínia, Estados Unidos. Sua área histórica de 122 hectares inclui várias centenas de edifícios restaurados ou recriados a partir do século XVIII, quando a cidade era a capital da Colônia da Virgínia; Estruturas do século XVII, século XIX e Revival colonial; e reconstruções mais recentes. Uma interpretação de uma cidade colonial estadunidense, a área histórica inclui três vias principais e suas ruas laterais que tentam sugerir a atmosfera e as circunstâncias dos estadunidenses do século XVIII. Os funcionários fantasiados trabalham e se vestem como as pessoas da época, às vezes usando gramática e dicção coloniais (embora não sejam sotaques coloniais). No final da década de 1920, a restauração e recriação da Williamsburg colonial foi defendida como uma maneira de celebrar patriotas rebeldes e o início da história dos Estados Unidos. Os proponentes incluíram o reverendo Dr. W. A. ​​R. Goodwin e outros líderes da comunidade; a Associação para a Preservação das Antiguidades da Virgínia (agora chamada Preservação Virgínia), as Damas Coloniais, as Filhas da Confederação, a Câmara de Comércio e outras organizações; e a família Rockefeller, nomeadamente John D. Rockefeller, Jr. e sua esposa, Abby Aldrich Rockefeller. O Colonial Williamsburg faz parte do projeto histórico, da atração turística Historic Triangle of Virginia, juntamente com Jamestown e Yorktown e o Colonial Parkway. O site já foi usado para conferências por líderes mundiais e chefes de estado, incluindo presidentes dos Estados Unidos. Foi designado Marco Histórico Nacional em 1960. Em junho de 2019, seu sexto presidente, Mitchell Reiss, anunciou que renunciaria a partir de outubro do mesmo ano, encerrando um mandato de cinco anos distinguido por rotatividade de pessoal, redução de tamanho e terceirização.

Pantheon (Achterbahn)

Pantheon ist eine Stahlachterbahn in Busch Gardens Williamsburg in Williamsburg, Virginia, USA. Sie wurde von der Intamin AG gebaut. In der Thematisierung geht es um das Römische Reich und die Gottheiten Jupiter, Merkur, Minerva, Neptun und Pluto. Pantheon bricht außerdem den Geschwindigkeitsrekord für Multi-Launch-Coaster, den vorher Taron im Phantasialand hielt. Geschichte Ursprünglich hatte Pantheon den Decknamen „Project Madrid“, welcher jedoch zu „Project MMXX“ geändert wurde. Die Achterbahn war anfänglich mit einer maximalen Höhe von 96 m (315 ft) geplant und hatte bereits eine Baugenehmigung für diese Höhe. Der erste Antrag für den Bau wurde im Februar 2019 eingereicht. Am 30. Juli 2019 fand im globe theater des Parks die offizielle Ankündigung von Pantheon statt. Sie wurde live auf die Facebook-Seite von Busch Gardens Williamsburg übertragen. Vor der Ankündigung gab es allerdings bereits einige Teaser in den Sozialen Medien. Im Oktober 2019 begann der eigentliche Bau der Achterbahn. Fahrt Das Layout beinhaltet vier LSM-Launches, fünf Airtime-Hügel und einen 95° steilen Drop. Die 55 Meter (180 ft) hohe Achterbahn hat zwei Inversionen und eine Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 117 km/h (73 mph). Vor dem Top-Hat kommt es zu einem beabsichtigten Roll-Back, bei dem zwei LSM-Launches rückwärts überfahren werden und der Zug über eine Weiche rückwärts einen Turm hinaufrollt, um die LSM schließlich ein drittes Mal zu passieren.

Pantheon (roller coaster)

Pantheon is a steel roller coaster at Busch Gardens Williamsburg theme park in Williamsburg, Virginia. Manufactured by Intamin, the roller coaster opened to park members on March 4, 2022 and features four launches, five airtime hills, and a 95-degree beyond vertical drop. The 178-foot-tall ride (54 m) inverts riders twice and reaches a maximum speed of 73 mph (117 km/h). Its theme is set to ancient Rome with a focus on the ancient culture's deities Jupiter, Mercury, Minerva, Neptune and Pluto. Despite marketing for the ride, it has never held the fastest multi-launch coaster record. Soaring With Dragon (77.7 mph (125.0 km/h)) held this record from September 2016 until May 2024 with Cedar Point opening Top Thrill 2 (120 mph (190 km/h)). History This ride was referred to as Project MMXX during the early construction stages and replaced an earlier project named Project Madrid, where Busch Gardens filed a 315 feet height waiver for a cancelled attraction. The initial planning application for the ride was filed in February 2019, and it was eventually announced to be Pantheon on July 30, 2019. The announcement was held in the globe theater at the park and streamed live on the park's Facebook page. Leading up to the announcements there was a series of teasers posted on social media. By October 2019, photos indicated that construction of the track had begun. Pantheon's opening was ultimately delayed by two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Virginia. Busch Gardens announced in September 2021 that the ride would open the following March. The ride opened to the public on March 25, 2022, following a soft opening on March 4. Characteristics Pantheon is 178 feet (54 m) tall, 3,328 feet (1,014 m) long, and reaches a maximum speed of 73 mph (117 km/h) throughout the ride. The ride's layout includes four launches – three of which take place on a swing launch between the vertical spike and top hat. This swing launch feature can also be found on Toutatis at Parc Astérix in France. Pantheon also has two inversions, which are a zero-g winder and a zero-g stall. It runs two trains of five cars, each of which seat two rows of two riders for a total of 20 passengers per train. Theme Pantheon's theming around the Roman gods is subtle. Plaques throughout the ride's queue explain how different sections of the coaster relate to specific gods from the Roman pantheon. According to the plaques, the first launch of coaster is related to Minerva, Goddess of Wisdom, because the rider requires her to keep them safe on the coming journey. In the second section, Mercury, God of Speed relates to the swiftness of the ride's beginning. Next, a high peak relates to the God of the Sea, Neptune, as a representation of his sharp trident. Then another peak relates to Jupiter, King of the Gods and God of Weather, because it ascends to the sky. Finally, the end of the ride relates to Pluto, God of the Underworld, because the rider's journey is at a close. Rankings References External links Official website

Seven Pines National Cemetery

Seven Pines National Cemetery is a national cemetery located in the Seven Pines area of the unincorporated town of Sandston in Henrico County, Virginia. Although cemetery records state the name is derived from for a group of seven pine trees planted within the national cemetery in 1869 near the intersection of the old Williamsburg-Richmond Stage Road and the Nine Mile Road, the name Seven Pines pre-dates the establishment of the cemetery. The National Cemetery was established in 1866. Most of the interments are of Union soldiers that were originally hastily buried on the Seven Pines battlefield in makeshift graves. The cemetery's 1.9 acres (0.77 ha) are located near the center of General George B. McClellan's second and main defense line of the May 31, 1862. To help facilitate visitation, an electric street railway was built to the site by a company formed in 1888. The railway has long since been removed and most visitors now park in the cemetery's driveway next to the caretaker's lodge. Seven Pines National Cemetery was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.
