How about a drop tower. Name it something like “Zeus’s Strike”, in Italy of course
Concepts Think Tank

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
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.

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.

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.

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.

I actually proposed a concept years ago that would utilize the Globe the way the real Globe was.

That said, I’m not sure what you mean? It hosts shows (very often very popular shows) that are tied in some way to England.
Touring Theater Companies Performing at BGW
So, I was at a Shakespeare Theater Company presentation of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Ernest in DC this past weekend, when it occurred to me that maybe what the Globe needs is to host traveling theater troupes. I'll admit right off that this could be a horrible idea: - Presumably...

If Drachen Fire's long-awaited replacement is a low minimum height family coaster, then my call to get rid of Verbolten still stands - I'll just want a flying coaster in its place instead. We'll need a white-knuckle headliner after smaller attractions, and if we can't swing through those turns, zooming over them face down would be just as good if not better.

The only way I can see that at this point is if they convert the Scotland/Bavaria parking lots into garages, so we can then get rid of the England parking lot and make room for it. Possibly use the Battle for Eire building as the station?
As for the theme, make it a reference to the scrapped plan for the S&S drop tower that would have been in this spot?
Not a concept but:
Where can you start a major theme park within the park and keep it inside to current boundary without using FHP?
I have a concept I like but it leave the park boundary and I’m not liking that because it requires a lot of tree removal.

I mean they could do both by bringing back Hunted as a house. We haven’t had werewolves as an actual terror-tory or house in a long time. Would be cool.
YOU KNOW... if I were BGW and knew I was planning to theme a new coaster in Festhaus Park to the Big Bad Wolf, I would replace the Witch of the Woods haunted trail with a trail themed to the Big Bad Wolf while we are at it.
One can dream...
If bgw were to build or create a members lounge area. Where would you like them to build it? & why?
We have actually had extensive discussions about a Member Lounge. Here is one example:
