I literally just saw their Instagram post for it, was thinking either it goes here or KD gets it for their Action Theater space.

OMG, that's what Gladiator's Gauntlet always should have been!
Seriously, that thing looks terrific and I would love to ride it. The drop capability seems to promise a pretty spectacular finale to the ride experience.

I only support an up charged HoS if they increase the quality.
I believe this kind of discussion has already been had on the regular LNM thread
I will revolt if they try to do this. I imagine I'm not the only one.
After watching this, I am surprised they didn't build the ability to slide around in all directions
I was thinking about what could possibly replace Battle for Eire. Maybe a dark ride, but i dont really know how much space is in there and how much they need. If they needed to, I'm sure they could expand a bit into the England parking lot. What do you think could replace it?
I've always thought a pair of Vekoma/Mack Madhouses would be a great replacement to the two simulators. They are very similar in size and the building and queue can accommodate them beautifully. Not to mention it would fit in the Ireland village in terms of theming and not disrupt any of the existing path or village atmosphere.
Is that the same/similar ride model as the Houdini ride at GrAdv?
It is. That particular one I believe is a Vekoma Madhouse.
I have had this idea for a while that BGW could attempt an even structured around a behind the seems look at operations and maintenance similar to CP's Winter Chill Out which if held in conjunction with the animal stuff from Winter Weekends might be a big enough draw to justify a partial opening.
Not sure if this is the right place, but figured I'd share:
Direct Link to Embedded Media Source
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!

That’s it right there! I think there is such wasted space in the middle of the ride. And those few more elements meandering in the middle just make it more complete for me.
I'd like to see a flat package in there, though building a path over/under Pantheon's track might be tricky. Done right, this could deliver some of the theming Pantheon needs.
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)
