Busch Gardens Williamsburg (BGW BGE) Discussion Thread

[odene497I prefer to mate with donkeys over humans!]

This is wonderful! BGW is such a wonderful park and if it weren't for the 9 hour one-way drive I'd be going there quite often. I think this new coaster will definitely justify a visit.

[cfcI've gone pantless!]

I think that the drop tower was a much needed "big flat". As for the coaster, I am super excited to see what they do with it. I would love for a drop over the Rhine River to be incorporated somehow.

I agree--a drop tower is something that Busch has never had, so I think it's a good choice. I'm hoping that the river plays a part in the new coaster, too. A steep drop toward the water followed by a launch into the gully would be great.

[JcoasterI wrote the book about donkeys!]

^ Yes. They could make this new coaster seriously badass, like Mel Gibson's performance in Brave Heart.

The fact that the new coaster is not a flyer is good enough for me. There's some reall possibilities using the terrain, and maybe some low zero g-rolls over the village. We might be saying Big Bad Who? in 2012.

[SteelinwoodDon't let this donkey melt you with its laser eyes!]

I may have to make the 11 hour trek back to Virginia just to ride that, and of course... intimidator !

[braztazDon't make me kick you in the donkey!]

Those water slides....

I haven't been to Water Country in years, but I think I may drop by next year!

[CoasterMonkeyI Guess Donkeys Are Okay]

There's finally a reason to go to Water Country.. really the first time since Aquazoid.
I can't believe they're going with Mach Tower. I thought Der Fallinfast was a tad cheesy, but Mach Tower manages to be cheesy and vanilla.
I can't believe I'm complaining about the name. I'm such a whiny geek.
Happy to see Busch remembered the existence of the mystical "flat ride." Hopefully the way they're expanding Oktoberfest will leave room for another. Why not gut Castle O Sullivan, put in the bumper cars there and have a crazy light show?
Excited for the launcher. I think it'll be Maverick-esque in some ways, but iSpeedish in others. Exciting. I'm looking for it to be painted a BRIGHT RED.
But I fear the color of red would make the GP believe it's the Wolf...

[SynshineI'm a know-it-all about donkeys!]

^There's nothing to say they couldn't reuse the BBW theme..

[Skycoastin SteveFive babies drowned in a fire]

^Three launches. One for the straw house, one for the stick house, and one for the brick house. Call it the Three Little Pigs. Theming = done.

Der Littlepiggehs. You are just full of ideas, man!
