Pass associates will also be the first to experience the park’s lately revamped Oktoberfest village, where the Mach Tower will open next this spring. The German-inspired village will now feature a pretzel shop and beer yard, along with a maypole and a brand new blue-and-white color scheme inspired by the Bavarian flag.

The Mach Tower, set to open late this spring, will be a 246-foot-tall drop ride. Riders will rise 6 feet per second, rotating to get a glimpse of the Peninsula, before plunging 60 miles per hour to the bottom. It will be Busch Gardens’ first tower ride.

A special picnic lunch will be offered to pass members in the Black Forest picnic village, and new merchandise will be marked down 30 percent until March 27.
