Quad Launch where 3 of the 4 are a Pantheon/Drachen Spire-esque swing launch, or 4 unique launch sequences?

Nope, the FHP project is delayed.

Drachen Spire's Slumber – BGWFans

Thanks to a treasure trove of newly-obtained, internal SEAS documentation, we can now say with a high degree of certainty that Busch Gardens Williamsburg is not currently planning to pursue their long-sought giga coaster project in time for a 2023 debut. Busch Gardens Williamsburg’s...

Any chance it could be one of those intamin compact single rails? With the park working more with them, it wouldn't be surprising to see another of their rides to be put in the building

If BGW is still looking to build with Intamin on this project it could very well be their Multi Dimension coaster model.

Intamin says they can do multiple launches, countless special effects including a drop track and a teeter totter element, and are “tailored to fit any storyline.”

Multi Dimension Spec Sheet From Intamin

The one at Movie Park is largely indoors with a small outside portion. Most of the ride stays low to the ground. Both of these seem to be quite similar to what we’re looking at with DarKoaster.

Just my guess in the model before anything else is released.

^I'd imagine it wouldn't be too hard to accommodate footers. Or they could just put the whole ride on a baseframe structure so they don't have to do traditional footers at all.

I'm just pissed that the prize I won for solving that hellish riddle was not only revealed to everyone a matter of days later, but was revealed with even more specifics.

Good fellow.

I propose we replace @Zachary with @Jahrules as a writer and member of the admin team, and it has nothing to do with the fact that jahrules just offered me a bonus whereas Zachary stabbed me in the heart.

(Okay I actually like Zachary so don't replace him but someone scold him like a 1920s American father who just had a rough day at the GM factory)
