I don't have a ton of details yet, but I'm under the impression BGT is looking to replace the Jungala area with a new attraction for the 2025 season. I'm unsure how the (relatively) nearby sinkhole impacts this, but keep your eyes on this space...
Allegedly a family woody was being tossed around, but I doubt that would come to fruitionI don't have a ton of details yet, but I'm under the impression BGT is looking to replace the Jungala area with a new attraction for the 2025 season.

Having recently visited BGT for the first time since 2011 and being profoundly disappointed in how much the park experience has deteriorated, I can confidently say BGT does not need another coaster anytime soon. The park is severely lacking in variety in its attraction lineup.Not to sound like a total thoosie, but what are the odds this could finally be that Giga Coaster long rumored for the park? Especially with Epic Universe opening, they need something to compete with Universal
I could not agree more! They have coasters, two water rides and two fairly extreme "flat rides". And now two transportation rides again, which is fantastic!Having recently visited BGT for the first time since 2011 and being profoundly disappointed in how much the park experience has deteriorated, I can confidently say BGT does not need another coaster anytime soon.

Since my 2011 visit, BGT lost many different types of family attractions:
Every single attraction listed above was replaced by a coaster or thrill ride, or by nothing at all.
- A family safari ride in Rhino Rally
- A long, scenic boat ride in Tanganyika Tidal Wave
- A sprawling family play area and collection of animal encounters in Jungala
- A walk-through attraction in Tut’s Tomb
- Various animal exhibits including Curiosity Caverns
- Any atmospheric or thematically relevant live entertainment
By midday at the park, my GP friends — all of whom enjoy coasters — were bored. Their complaint: there was nothing to do but ride coasters. We enthusiasts anppreciate even the subtlest differences in types of coasters, but at the end of the day, they’re all just trains hurtling around a steel track.
BGT used to be a world to experience. Now it’s a park to ride coasters. And now they’re adding yet another coaster! Before they even think about adding the next one, they need to remember that a key ingredient to a great theme park — especially one as much built on adventure and exploration as BGT — is variety.
We need some kind of source or specific info, otherwise this is just another rumorNot to stir the pot, but there was one particular "Dippin dots vendor" who confirmed to me something BIG in 25 and something DARK in 26...
I'm unable to disclose the person or position, don't want to risk anyone's well-being. But I did want to share with you some information I was recently told. Not much detail was given, but this has never been told to me before. I have a close relationship with this person and they have no reason to embellish or make this up. This source has been accurate on both phx rising and skyride reopening date. Obviously take it with a grain of salt, but I can assure you those words weren't without merit.
*GIGA INTENSIFIES*Not to stir the pot, but there was one particular "Dippin dots vendor" who confirmed to me something BIG in 25 and something DARK in 26...
B&MI’m not sure of any potential manufacturer,
Greater than 325potential stats
This giga is *probably* a prototype model in and of itself from what I've heard...add all of these prototype models to their parks
