YES! I swear they should hire me for marketing. I could come up with something better than Mach Tower. That sounds like a new product line of razor blades, not a thrill ride.

Perhaps at dramatic parts of the ride like the launches, the Hummel Boy make an appearance expressing shock as only the Hummel Boy can do. I would have no objections if they kept it as Big Bad Wolf, it had a fierce and ominous logo. A Deliverance theme might be more appropraite for the region, and Steve - your three little pigs will be squealing.

I would love to see a top hat where BBW's second lift was. It could launch, twist up the top hat, and have an extended drop going down towards the Rhine. If it had a 200 foot tall top hat it could have a near 300 foot drop on the other side. I am in no way expecting anything like that but it is an awesome sight to imagine.

I was wondering why the old BBW station was never removed... Apparently Busch plans on 'recycling it.' This would be the second time in 2 years that they would do such a thing...

Imma fan of Mach Tower, though its not as themed as I was hoping for... This new coaster sounds like it will be splendid. Im hoping for red track (fingers crossed)

[cfcI've gone pantless!]

^I'm more curious about the extra "surprises" than the theming (although I think it'll be colorful enough for Oktoberfest). Tilting seats? Maybe a "fake" initial drop?

Remember that 2011 is about more than just adding a drop tower; it's about revamping Oktoberfest, as well. Busch has always been more about the overall experience, rather than individual rides.

[ShannonSomervilleYummy! I just ate donkey!]

That area really needed a touch-up,IMO. Nice addition.

[JcoasterI wrote the book about donkeys!]

Fear not guys, knowing Busch they will put Big Bad Wolf's former ravine into good use.

[SaldekHave I mentioned how awesome donkeys are?]

Sounds nice! Looks like Mach Tower will be a gyro drop from Intamin or a Fabbri Drop Tower.

Actually, Moser Rides is building Mach Tower for BGW. I've never ridden their drop rides. Are they any good?

Sounds like a good two year plan but with other parks I want to see first (plus with my bf's list), I think I'd wait until 1212 to head back there. The park though in IMO does need a new coaster so looks like 1212 will be a great year for BGW.

[thrillerman1Can you see the donkey in my toast?]

1212? I want to borrow your time machine! It would be amazing to see what the park looked like back then.
