Wow, and there is 40 of those signs. I have to say that was a very informative read even for a fan like me. (Crosses fingers for a Riffle Rapids marker)

 

[Mushroom]

There were no 40th signs in Land of the Dragons.

 

[Zimmy]

There is one outside Land of the Dragons. The signs have answered many questions about locations of rides.

 

[Party Rocker]

Heard that we may see a Big Bad Wolf and Drachen Fire car on display near their appropriate signs. Like how the Gypsy Wagon is set up near it's sign.

 

[James]

Question is. Can you leave flowers and light candles near the signs?

 

[wombat96]

Wipes away tears. Please tell me that there is a chance you could sit in the trains. I would love to be able to sit in a Big Bad Wolf car, watch a POV of the Wolf, and be able to relive years of memories. That, would make my day. Also to ansewer you're question James. I was allowed to leave flowers by the Big Bad Wolf sign after it closed but you're not allowed to light candles.

 

[BGW Family]

To add, hearing refurbished Lemans cars could be added to items on display. Possibly one of the old street bands might reappear, also.

 

[Party Rocker]

Whispers of old mascots returning have been in the air.

Yaaay

To be honest, as odd as I found their choice to put out several mushroom with a frog, I think BGW's are a lot less creepy than KD's.

 

[Jrbgwfan06]

At least they have real flowers around them.

 

[GeoUSA]

Somebody's having fun with PS. That's the BGW frog with detached retinas.

 

[Mushroom]

I think BGW's are a lot less creepy than KD's.

Umm, excuse you! *glances at avatar* *cries*

 

[Nicole]

*rolls eyes*

 

[metalman]

They have a 40th anni. sign for The Gauntlet in Festa. hahahahahahahahhaha..haaaaa.
And one for Drachenfire. *tear*

 

[WasabiDragon]

To be honest, as odd as I found their choice to put out several mushroom with a frog, I think BGW's are a lot less creepy than KD's.

Regardless of being less creepy they are still pretty darn creepy. Singing animatronics give me the willies to begin with though...

We're celebrating 40 years of fun, facts, and now food. Our culinary team is bringing back some of our “retired” menu items for a limited time. We're featuring signature items such as, Sippers for the children, Brauhaus Bier Tasting for the adults, and rectangular pizza for, well, everyone!
Here is a bit of history on these items. Sippers were a childhood favorite at Busch Gardens® until 2007. We offered an assortment of shapes, including: grapes, apples, lemons, oranges, trains, barrels and dolphins filled with a variety of fruit juices. Our rectangle pizza opened with the park in 1975. The pizzas were served in several locations such as German Pizza, Hospitality House and Das Festhaus® and were cooked in our original stone-deck oven. In previous years we've had beer sampling and Beer School, but for our 40th it will be a little different. Guests will be able to enjoy our Brauhaus Bier Tasting.
These fan favorites will only be available select weekends in May and the only time they will be available this season, so be sure to visit us and help celebrate our 40th anniversary.
Sippers: May 1 – 3; May 8 – May 10; May 15 – 17
Rectangular Pizza: May 1 – 3; May 8 – May 10; May 15 – 17
