^Just for clarification--when you say Intamin "terra" does that include coasters like Maverick and iSpeed?

I would definitely be down for a launch coaster into the woods!

Isnt terra the denomination for 400 feet or higher coaster?

Mega-200
Giga-300
Terra - 400

As in, megabyte-gigabyte-terrabye (orders of magnitude?)

I'd wager busch gardens will never build a taller ride than griffon, but a low-flying terrain launched intamin would be super tasty. The BBW area could even use one of those launched "cars to the side of the track" intamin rides, though I've heard the one that exists is terrible. Having said that, the B&M flyer seems most likely, although I bet all eyes in the entertainment world are on cedar fair to see if their intimdator investments will pay off. If not, I foresee a dark 2010's for coasters. (Quick everyone, visit carowinds and KD)

^400+ is "Strata." "Terra" refers to the ground, as in a coaster that hugs the ground. I think we could almost call I305 a terracoaster, but I'm pretty sure Maverick is the only one that's been officially deemed one.

Ah. You might as well call it a terrain coaster then, because the ex-BBW location is actually nice and hilly.

Damnit now I miss BBW again.

You know what would be an awesome fit at a park like BGW?

Furius Baco!

And you never know... You guys are only focusing on coaster types that are "common" right now, but keep in mind it was Busch Gardens that re-introduced us to Dive Machines!

Think outside the box as to what their next coaster might be!

Ha! I didn't even see that. And no, the one that exists is not terrible. It's amazing!

Is it a bad thing that my hopes for a new coaster just got escalated when Robb told us to think outside the box? Almost as if he knows whats up (probably does) and is just waiting for one of us to strike gold. Hmmmm. The trickery.

Ha--well, he was at BGW recently...

I'm still holding out small hope for a woodie, Kings Mill dwellers be damned (except for my Aunt and Uncle, of course)!
