RE: 2012 Coaster (Name To Be Discovered)

The the thing that makes me believe this stuff is real is that the layout of the stuff that was posted here is the same as the layout presented at the JCC meetings.

This. People tend to think that the park does not have more pressing matters than to fool a rather small fan site. 'Tis hysterical.

Are you sure they didn't say "no were not getting a 300ft Intamin like kings dominoin" haha
 
RE: 2012 Coaster (Name To Be Discovered)

I haven't posted in a while, but in catching up, I must say a few words...

We can go back and forth on the ride type, maker, etc., but we MUST always consider what I believe to be one of the most critical elements of matters like these involving major attractions under construction: Practicality.

Busch Gardens knows all of their roller coasters, except for Grover's, are not 100% family friendly, with varying degrees of intensity which oust the younger, more sensitive groups from the queue. It only makes sense that this ride will be a European-adaptation of the GENERAL concepts employed (either by Intamin or Zierer) in the recently installed Cheetah Hunt in Tampa. Look at Sheikra/Griffon & Alpengeist/Montu. The theme will be different, it will go marginally faster, have an event building, and have some surprises to make the "wow" factor a major selling point, but this will be another BGT-BGW tag-team effort, so to speak. I forsee an accessible ride for several audiences, something a "300 foot Intamin" cannot afford its riders. KD is still learning its lessons with the other 300 foot Intamin right up I-95, and we honestly think Busch would fight that fire with the same flame thrower as its (semi)-rival did in 2010? Likely not. Mach Tower might be seen a quick stopgap ride, very much like Drop Zone in nature (a gravity experience), but I don't think this ride will be much like anything they offer in Doswell.

All I'm saying is try and think logically here if possible, and take steps avoid the endless drama/bickering that occurs nearly every year a park embarks on a major ride campaign and forum followers elevate their blood pressures and lose sleep over speculation not grounded by realities/ examples from the past. Heck, isn't it kinda fun NOT knowing eveything about what we will sample in less than 1-year's time?

I'm not saying it isn't fun to speculate and imagine the awesomeness of this coaster, just do so with the practical notion that THIS time around, a German Intimidator 305 with an event building is not in 2012's cards.
Now could it be project 2013? Well, we already have an engaging thread on that :D

Cheers to everyone!

The same thing happens every 2-3 years of fan forums. Bottom of the line park employees feel high and might because they talk on a microphone in a station all day. Same egos different people.

Funny you *you* bring up egos. That's real funny. Some 'high and mighty' (you forgot the 'y' there sweetheart) theme park fansite forum administrators feel they can speak to anyone they want to however they want to and it's okay. Those bottom of the line cast members are what make the park you love run everyday. Without them, there's no park. I completely understand how cast members would be offended by what you said. Hell, as a former ride op, I was offended. Don't bite the hand, honey.

Pray tell, what do you do for a living? Ever made low wages working countless hours on your feet, in the heat, dealing with pissed off guests and missing kids? Ever worked in the park? It's a tough job, and those kids work their butts off. I honestly can't believe you even said what you did. What makes you better than anyone else? Because that's exactly what you're giving off.

I don't check in and come back to this? What's with the adversarial feeling I'm getting? I don't like it. Stop.

Disagreements are expected, personal attacks and insults aren't. EVERYONE needs to relax and take it down a notch, this stuff really isn't important enough to get this worked up about.

Wow THIS is some good reading! I was tryna figure out a way for a buncha people to get me some "thanks", but Chris beat me to it! Crap!;)

Hey Chris what do you think about the allegations that all the documents are not real? Not asking to get you to say negative things bout people, but if there is even the slightest possibility that griffonrox and gropplo are right? Cuz minus the job dissing, Im enjoying the devils advocate stance that those guys bring to the table....

(and I appreciate all the hard work of Swiftman as well)

Yeah, it's not like we're talking about "costumes" vs. "uniforms." Now THAT's something to get worked up about! :p

The plans are either real, or the park spent an extraordinary amount of money and time trying to fool a relatively small community of people. The reason I know the latter isn't the case is because Blackstone wouldn't approve just outright wasting money. There's no upside for the park in creating fake plans especially since there was no guarantee that they would have ever been seen by anyone.

I'm sure there were plenty of doubts about the BGT plans when they came out, but they were obviously the real thing. I don't take it personally that people have doubts about the plans.

TL;DR The plans are real.
 
RE: 2012 Coaster (Name To Be Discovered)

I really believe the plans are real, I do. But, is there any possibility that those were, maybe, old plans that got scrapped?
 
RE: 2012 Coaster (Name To Be Discovered)

Hmmm interesting suggestion Gropplo... what say you, Chris, Swift?

(Ill play mediator here)

No, the plans match what was presented at JCC meetings. So, the conspiracy would involve the JCC Board and the willful deceit of the citizens of James City County. Furthermore, it wouldn't make business sense for these to just be old, scrapped plans (you'll have to trust me on that).

I know that you trust the park more than you trust me, that's fine. I'm assuming that someone authorized to provide the information about the ride is who provided you with the information?
 
RE: 2012 Coaster (Name To Be Discovered)

I believe everything about the structure of the ride itself...o was talking more about the theming and thematic elements inside the building and of the queue line. I would totally be ok of the plans were legit, but I'm just curious. And I was provided with the original information by someone totally different.

The plans and details were up to date as of the date they were released. Is it possible the park could change the theme? Absolutely. I would think the theming of the ride would be fairly fluid and the plans could be just concepts. The only thing I would say is set in stone is the layout and manufacturer. Everything else could probably be modified by the time theming work begins on the ride.
 
RE: 2012 Coaster (Name To Be Discovered)

Again, I sheesh. I post, go to work, come home and there are literally, exactly 101 posts in this thread. I know because my iPhone told me that's how many emails I got.

As I said, pages ago, I don't really like any of the pieces I've seen, but for some reason, the whole puzzle, once together, just seems like it is going to work. Maybe. Hopefully. Please don't Europe in the Air me again, BGW.

BBW was my first coaster and while it made me a little glum to find out it was being taken out, I am much more a fan of progress than I am of sentiment. Still, I really hope they are able tie BBW in with the theme for this one.

Also, coaster drama is my favorite. <3

The final coaster path appears to stay true to that of the Legendary Wolf. I think Busch knew what needed to be done with this coaster and are doing just that.
