Busch Gardens Williamsburg Project 2024/2025 (?): Festhaus Park Hyper Coaster?
- Thread starter Zachary
- Start date
🤣I can't think of once in recent memory they've left something SBNO for a full year. Wait...oh...
Any updates on site plans or anything? I’d imagine that if this is a 2024 addition that lane clearing would start sometime soon (February/March)?
For reference pantheon plans were obtained in February of 2019, so you still got months of waiting possibly
Don’t forget about this too:

There are current restrictions and more coming regarding tree clearing and any kind of forestry removal due to the regulations around the northern long eared bat. It was threatened, but now has been classified as endangered. Where I work, we are prohibited from clearing from April through November and have had to adjust construction schedules to accommodate

Northern long-eared bat reclassified as endangered under the Endangered Species Act | U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service today announced a final rule to reclassify the northern long-eared bat as endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The bat, listed as threatened in 2015, now faces extinction due to the rangewide impacts of white-nose syndrome, a deadly...
We are waiting for U.S. Fish and Wildlife to issue a guidance document on the Bat, as is DEQ and the local review agencies. We have instructed our clients to start logging properties that they want to develop next year. Forestry companies are getting extremely busy logging and cutting to get trees on the ground before January 30. That's the day the bat gets officially classified as endangered. If there are no trees, then there is no habitat and therefore no bat. The State currently has restrictions for clearing within wetlands from April through October, however a simple acoustic/endangered species study can be performed. We received some pretty good intel that this will be the process after January 30. There is a benefit to BG's location. Most of the bats are concentrated in the mountains where there are caves. Not many caves around BG.
Nessie would like to have a word...
Don’t forget to add random umlauts! Something like Stïëhl Drächën
Update: I nearly gave my German friend a heart attack showing him this. What have I done creating this abomination… may god have mercy on my soul!

Much like the first time
I am starting to hear that there may be a decent possibility that we may see this project delayed till 2025 and that we might see a flat addition in 2024.
It makes much more since that way, put a flat in place of da Vincis cradle (already has walls up), then 2025 coaster for parks 50th anniversary.
Come on babyyyyy gimme a Gerstlauer Sky Roller 😍
Isn’t construction supposed to start February 2023 and end on April 2024 based on the permit?
Based on the FAA permit yes but so far no permits have been filed with the county for review and they can file for an extension of the FAA one.
As of right now, it’s still a go for 2024!
