It looks like the outdoor portions are following the old BBW layout. I was really hoping for that!

Now we just wait to see what happens on the inside! At least we know the building will sit where the old town was, back behind the bumper cars.

[cfcI've gone pantless!]

The indoor section is what intrigues me the most about it.

I'm thinking that the secret inside section will feature a mixture of many things or at least one of these things...
- controlled story scenes like Superman at Movieworld
- or maybe a Saw: the Ride style indoor
- or maybe a Th13teen style drop or gimble element.

Who knows....

As long as it has

[JakizleI had sex with N-Tag before you did.]

Or maybe the inside will be something like Revenge of the Mummy? Then it launches out into a finale where BBW's finale used to be.

Regardless, it looks awesome tome.

Looks awesome!

I'm very curious to see who is gonna build it, I personally hope for Intamin!

This is also gonna be a terrain coaster right?

[bejacksoI just made a donkey in No Limits!]

Revenge of the mummy style would be tight

[VisioneerWhat's with the donkeys anyway?]

Considering Oktoberfest IS a giant carnival and the area at BGW is based off of said carnival, it works. Heck, Oktoberfest is the carny-est section of the park anyway (along with Festa Italia). Just add a Schwarzkopf and some extreme rides and you'll have an authentic Oktoberfest replica.

Excellent point there. The rest of the area is still more refined, but I'll give you that. Carny for BGW still looks like Disney vs. Six and Cedar. Again, I'm glad they are getting a drop tower regardless. It's a smart investment.

Personally, I think S&S towers are butt ugly and even more "carny," but that's my opinion.

I agree ... their first installations (i.e. the smaller ones) aren't so pretty. Power Tower and other larger multi-tower projects have a monumental feel to them. Mach Tower looks great from a distance. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product and reading your report.

[SaldekHave I mentioned how awesome donkeys are?]

BGW just posted an updated construction pic on their Facebook page.

[Mr. StarrMy transgendered dreams have come true!!!]

Looks like they added a few more of the final tower piece being placed!
