We need a modern multi-inverting coaster. Yes we have one with pantheon? But that’s only 2 inversion. Imo a multi-inversion coaster should have more than 2 inversions.

Something like Steel Curtain has been on my mind too. SEAS and S&S have been going steady lately with these Screamin' Swings, the US inversion record is theoretically not actually out of reach, S&S can build both of Drachen Fire's "signature" inversions, etc. There's a lot to like there in my opinion.
Is it just the color scheme? I strongly dislike the color scheme but I really dig the unique support structure. It's just cool.
They would just need to 1up Steel Curtain to make 10. Would still be alot of inversions but if BGW is all about the marketing? Would certainly add another feather in their cap.
if there going inversions then im thinking they would use gerstlauerer or build a colossos style Intamin looper
Just throw in a B&M Juju roll before the lift.
Edit:
Want to say, other than the Banana roll at the top of SC, Hydra’s juju roll might be my favorite inversion.

At this point just go to 15 and claim the world inversion record from smiler.
I want a Gerstlauer in VA. I have hard infinity coaster vibes from KD one day but who knows.
Edit: I really need to get up to that Takabisha clone in NJ sometime.

I would second that. Just seems unlikely because Cedar Fair has so rarely worked with Gerstlauer and SeaWorld never has.
I'm hoping for a an amped up version of infinity falls. Giant elevator hill, big swells throughout. Then they can replace Roman Rapids.
Obviously this isn't happening, but I absolutely love that ride.

Oooooo what if RMC was given a project to debut their first TREX to reimagine a new Drachen Fire? Just going off of the fact that they brought out Iron Gwazi at BGT, what if their answer in BGW was to REX-ify a new DF?

I think the problem with that is that BGW isn’t in a massive market like Florida, or California. I’m all for that addition of course, it just seems that Seas would want to draw people from competitors in a major market compared to trying to amp up a pretty small one
They did drop this on social media yesterday. I don't think it means anything, but the timing cracked me up.

Color scheme doesn't bother me as I'm a Steelers fan. It's the overall placement of the ride and the gawdy lattice work of supports. I'd be curious to see what another manufacture would have come up with, especially on the out and back section over the walkway.
I still haven't ridden it, I've only been there in the off season so my issues are solely on the looks.
Yeah mikes, IMO Steel Curtain is the ugliest major modern coaster I've seen. The scale of it doesn't help because it makes the ugliness even more blatant. For me it's the track shapes and the colors, though I'm ok with most aspects of the supports.
For color complaints on Steel Curtains colors:
What other colors would you use to paint supports for a theme of a sports franchise who’s colors are….black and yellow?
Fun fact:
Pittsburgh is the only city where all the major sports wear the exact same colors.

The Steelers fan in me is side eyeing the Steel Curtain hate. Just let us Steelers fans have our only coaster in the NFL in peace lol
warfelg, looking at the jerseys I guess the selection makes sense, but aesthetically I think the opposite would be more pleasing.
