I’m thinking dragon flames that never work again after the first season.
Busch Gardens Williamsburg Project 2025/Holzfäller: Big Bad Wolf 2 (B&M Family Invert)
- Thread starter Zachary
- Start date
Adena Corp built Rapterra. Haven’t seen any pictures of their trailers at BGW, they could just be backstage somewhere. Or it could be a different company, who knows.
As for the “why wasn’t Wolf going up yet” part, could be a plethora of reasons. Just a guess, but I suspect the fabrication schedule of Clermont (the Ohio factory that most B&M track comes from) played maybe the largest role.

Probably they were fabricated in order of purchase. Still plenty of time to get BBW2 built and open for spring.
This.
People are also forgetting that it's been slightly under a year when we found out that this coaster went from being a potential RMC to a B&M Family Invert. This was practically a last minute order for B&M.
Was just looking around at the website and spotted these two new renders. Looks like a pretty good first drop!
I love that wall at the entrance to the village. Great touch.
I believe best practice dictates disclosing AI use so, full transparency, the new thread header has been upscaled using AI.
Also As for the “why wasn’t Wolf going up yet” I am assuming B&M was also probably waiting to finish Phoenix Rising at the Tampa park before construction could begin, also probably trying to see how that ride went over with the crowd and gives them a chance to work out any bugs before moving on to a new project.
Well good news for us, because from the reviews I've heard, Phoenix Rising was the "It was better than I expected" ride.
Phoenix Rising, in my opinion, was fine. Not anything I’m in a rush to ride again, however. I hope TBBW:TWR is a little more exciting, to be honest.
My understanding is because it was a late purchase call by the park and corporate and earlier production and construction blocks were already booked.
I know @Nicole doesn't have Dragonflier and I have neither credit. That said, I can guarantee you the answer is (likely very) unfavorably.
Per CaptainCoaster, Phoenix Rising has a score of 33.1% and is ranked #1160 in the world vs Dragonflier with a score of 60.4% and a rank of #628.
I disagree with CaptainCoaster's Phoenix Rising score. I did it in the summer right after it opened. I think it's far better than Merlin's Meyhem and the two have almost the same rating on CaptainCoaster.
Additionally, (personal issue with CC here) you should be able to throw out ratings without comments. Because a majority of PR comments come to the fact that it's a small covered portion of the queue, there's only one train, or the restraints were unaccommodating. In fact, many of the comments on the ride itself is very favorable.
I personally think that Wolf's Revenge is going to quickly become a beloved ride that is the top family friendly option in the park. I think the added length with the second lift is going to give WR the ability to have more capacity and will really help with some of the perception. I also think the 700 extra feet of track means more elements will make the ride more exciting.
