Busch Gardens Williamsburg (BGW BGE) Discussion Thread

[redfoot12"Excuse me, miss, may I pound my large rooster into your donkey?"]

^Why not?

[let1greI wrote the book about donkeys!]

^Because that's an easy way to raise expectations impossibly high. Of course, the GP might be fine with it.

Sorry Steve they didn't take your name suggestion!

The park has updated their “Big News” page to include information about the new attractions going into the park.

The new drop tower will be 250 ft. tall and named “Mach Tower”.

They also announce that they will be building a multi-launch coaster in 2012. It could be very similar to the coaster being built in Tampa that is set to open in 2011, which is common for the park to do when adding new attractions. The coaster in Tampa is said to be an Intamin with multiple launches and a high level of theming.

Stay tuned for more details as they become available. Follow us on Twitter and join us in the FORUMS to discuss this big news!

Update:
The park took down the page giving confirmed information and has replaced it with the teaser video we’ve seen before. I was able to grab a screen shot before it went down, here it is:

^I'm offended! It's a travesty! A sham! A mockery! A travishamockery! Der Fallinfast was the best name EVAR!!!!


On a separate note, BOTH Busch parks getting multi-launched Intamins? Let me be the first to say, HELL YES!

Just like BGW did with Griffon and added floorless trains to their version instead of the regular trains that Sheikra had... Maybe BGW will take use the wing walker trains on their multi-launch coaster version. They could even add a water effect say if it skimmed the water like BBW used to.

I'm anxious to find out more details about the drop tower.

s? Let me be the first to say, HELL YES!

Second to say, HELL YES!

^ A wing walker is not the answer... *cough*gimmick*cough*

[The_Mad_HatterWhat would donkeys be like on the moon?]

Yes please! I could definitely see a swooping plunge into the river working very well.

I second the notion.

Remodeled Germany section too! What a perfect game plan for the park.

Did anyone else notice the part about the two new speed slides, 75 ft version with drop out floor and a 300 ft slide, as well? Sounds like a good addition.

Mach Tower is a little disappointing, the theming is not as "much" as I expected and I was hoping for one of those newer Intamin Drop Towers with the tilting and multi drops, but the waterslides are more interesting than I expected... still cannot wait to here more of the Multi launch coaster!
