I've also wondered if Battle for Eire could instead be a coaster station, with a little reduction of the England lot and some deforestation on the edges of the park. (but replanting after the track has been placed)
I've honestly considered the same thing for like a small Gerstlauer Eurofighter or smthg like that, but idek if there's enough space around there for a roller coaster, not to mention that it's right next to a tributary of the Rhine

How about a drop tower. Name it something like “Zeus’s Strike”, in Italy of course
I want it to be an S&S combo tower. The nearest launch tower is at Hershey or Dorney, I can't remember which one. Or if they can only fit one without sacrificing theming, it should be the space shot.
 
That could actually be good considering it wouldn't require trees to be cut down, which loses some of the immersion of the park when you can see the inside from the parking lot and vice versa.

Additionally, it's been floating around here that a drop tower concept was designated for the Castle O'Sullivan space a long time ago but never came to fruition, IIRC.
 
Not sure if this is the right place, but figured I'd share:

Started with a recreation, ended up doing an extended layout concept. Added about 1,000ft of track, two straight ejector hills, & another roll. Would have been cool!


After watching this side by side POV of both Toutatis and Pantheon, I really wish BGW would've done more with the layout and your recreation looks awesome.

Those extra few elements (not to mention the theming and landscaping) on Toutatis make the difference. We got Something (still pretty cool) and they got the Cooler Something.

Since the SEAS marketing team is all about records, Tallest, Fastest, Longest Suspended Coaster Of All Time should not be too hard. BGW just needs to convince a manufacturer to revive the full-scale fully swinging suspended coaster (inverted coasters are just whippy floorless coasters with awful views in the middle seats). The S&S Axis really is more heartline rolling than proper swinging.

At least 101 feet tall to beat the Wolf, 56 mph to beat Vortex, and 3201 feet long to beat Eagle Fortress. This shouldn't be too hard to fit into the Drachen Fire plot. I have already paused my calls for Verbolten's removal until the undeveloped ride plots are redeveloped, but if this is Drachen Fire's replacement, then I'll accept it as the Wolf's replacement and forgive Verbolten for its failure to replace the Wolf (though the park will still need another 42" minimum flagship ride).

Banbury needs a replica of this pub. Not only is it a wonderfully absurd English pub, but it is also essentially a crooked house, which is a type of attraction Virginia lacks.


The Crooked House was a pub in South Staffordshire, England. Its name and distinctive appearance were the result of 19th-century mining subsidence which caused one side of the building to be approximately 4 feet (1.2 m) lower than the other. It was known as "Britain's wonkiest pub", and optical illusions inside the building made objects appear to roll uphill.

Located in Himley in England's Black Country, the building was originally an 18th-century farmhouse before it was converted into a pub in the 1830s.
 
After HHN announced Dueling Dragons, I've been thinking about what other parks could bring back a roller coaster in the form of a haunt...

I say let's have a Big Bad Wolf haunt.
