InvadR, Wooden roller coaster in James City County, Virginia, United States

InvadR is a wooden roller coaster at Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Virginia, that winds through the trees at speeds up to 48 miles per hour (77 kilometers per hour). The track runs 2,118 feet (646 meters) with a drop of 74 feet (23 meters).

Busch Gardens Williamsburg announced the coaster on March 19, 2016, after a three-month web campaign, and let fans vote among three names, Viking Raider, InvadR and Battle Klash, until April 1, 2016; InvadR won the Internet poll. On May 30, 2016, the park confirmed that trains from Gwazi at Busch Gardens Tampa would be reused. The ride opened on April 7, 2017.

The name InvadR was chosen in a public online poll held from March 19 to April 1, 2016, beating Viking Raider and Battle Klash. The ride sits in Busch Gardens Williamsburg's New France area, whose village setting draws on the park's European themes. The train carries the word "INVADR" on its red front car.

InvadR runs two Millennium Flyer trains, each with eight cars seating two riders per row, sixteen per train. The train leaves the station, makes two right turns and climbs a 60-foot (18 m) chain lift hill before the drop. The queue and station sit at the coaster's base beside a paved path.

The ride reuses refurbished trains that previously ran on the Gwazi coaster at Busch Gardens Tampa. The wooden track combines with steel supports for stability.
