2013 Plans
- Thread starter Franco
- Start date
Bid alternate 5 is to add an asphalt path, a bunch of fencing, and what looks to be a new 60' x 60' stone foundation for the stage. I don't think this has anything to do with any future expansion or attractions, just some improvements to the festhaus park area for the events held there. Which leads me to believe they intend to use this area for some time for these types of events.

I heard from a source before I even joined this site that there was sposed to be a back to back coaster expansion along with a huge park expansion "In a few years". This was before blackstone and before removal of the wolf... Other details of this "rumor" have yet to be proven true, But we have heard from other sources that this back to back coaster thing might have been slightly altered, and that apparently it does have some kind of validity.
Now next this is just speculation from what I know as I no longer have contact with this source but I'm guessing the budget was cut on this said expansion and the time this expansion was taking place was... Expanded.
Instead of back to back coasters, it may very well be 2012 and 2014. Instead of a new country, we might just get Expansion/Renovation to Germany. All I know is that the plans are similar but they have definitely changed.
From what was told to me the launched coaster was going in a new country...
Also I think it has been confirmed they are testing the train tracks for a new train stop...
Why would they need to run uber crazy test on the train?
As far as I know it's one of those things you can casually test while you evaluate your options. If they decide they really need that station there, Leveling out the land/track shouldnt be too much of an issue and changing the grade of the track directly after the station shouldnt... More of an investment, but not too much of an issue if you ask me.

Ah... would it be easier to level it out for train green, modify greenie, or get rid of greenie. Maybe they can just have it pass through the new station if anything. Put it in the middle of the other trains. It would double the wait at the station and confuse the hell out of guest, but it's better than nothing...
that's sort of what I was wondering about. Considering we've heard almost $50 mil for next year's coaster. That's quite an investment.
They had 50% share in the Universal parks. Still, they have lots of money. I wouldn't think they would put too much of that back into the parks, but Seaworld has made a lot of investments in their parks over the last couple years...
Just to throw this out, they are redoing all of the piping for the span of track contained in Festhaus park. If they are building they would need to get re-piping out of the way early so the ground could settle for construction. There is no other re-piping taking place anywhere else on the route. Just throwing that out there. Jeez talk about an edit! Haha

Naw, i got him! He just went to happy hour early! (I often post after happy hour-ing)
@AlMS7TH, I would LOATHE a standup at BG. But I could TOTALLY go for a flyer. Or another, more intense sit down. I could also got for a floorless B&M but highly themed and low to the ground. OH! Or a Black Mamba style coaster!
I'm getting excited....
When i went on google maps looking for spots for rides and it seems like below Festa, to the right of Nessie, and of course the drachen fire site.... that might not happen if they are actually planning what has been posted. maybe even a euro replacing EiTA. Oooh if only one day busch would realize what people think about EiTA.
