Well I hate the idea of these new costumes because they are all probably going to follow the same style and be bowling shirts, but on the other hand they will look at tad more professional and less ridiculous.

Wouldn't a B&M Wingrider go great in bgw. i mean they love the conservation of trees so that could be put into play. and they could name something like Drachen fire's Revenge
 
Wing coaster seems up their street doesn't it. But then, a flyer seemed logical too.

I think it really depends how well Verbolten is received as to what we see next.

RE: Uniforms. Why is it that in the US, park uniforms are so... So. Ludicrous? Cedar Fair's uniform. Good god. Like, what's even going on with it...?

WOW! That name sounds just as good as Black Forest Turbo! Or Revenge of the Black Forest... But I see what you mean... :p

I just had a random thought. I doubt it would ever happen, but what if Busch decided to recreate a re-improved version of Drachen Fire. One that wasn't a disaster?

I think Swift said it best in that Drachen Fire was ahead of it's time. It will never happen though.

Yes but it also was not designed correctly.... but that might be a discussion for a different time.

I rather have the employees look more professional then less ridiculous myself.

Voltage welcome to the forums first off.

A B&M Wingrider would fit great in Drachen fire's old spot or even better in the rumored new country. What name would you give it, if build it in the rumored new country?

If the country is spain, something along the lines of running of the bulls... I would say, El Torro, but that name has already been taken
 
I think Matador, Diablo, or Chupacabra would be great names for a Spanish-themed coaster.

As for a B&M Wing Coaster, I honestly can't see the park getting one. While it's likely to happen, I think another big ticket launch coaster a-la Storm Runner or a wooden coaster would fit better.

A flying coaster would've been awesome where Griffon is, but I can't see the park getting one of those any time soon either.

I actually think KD would be better off with one of those instead.

Chupacabra would be the best name for a coaster ever.

True, but not at Busch Gardens. Chupacabra is a Mexican legend. I mean we could have New Spain (Mexico) much like New France, but I think we would need to have Spain first. Something out of Don Quixote could work very well. Also Spanish Mythology, there are dozens of great ideas there.

On that note since its been mentioned lately, I'm not against New France. Colonialism was very important to "Old Country" Europe, so having a french colony isn't totally absurd.
 
I highly doubt if Spain is added to the FHP, there will be no major rides. IF Spain were to become an entrance country for resort guests, I would expect it to geared much like England is.

New France was the worst idea the par has made. They definitely exceed the theme, but the village theme just doesn't line up with the park theme. It is European countries not colonies.
 
New France is not the worst decision the park made. Is it a weird decision to have Canada as an area in a European-themed park? Yes, but New France is far from the worst decision the park has made.

Personally I feel Festa needs to be rehabbed before New France. Not only would it be easier to retheme, but that area is a bit of an oddball which only has one decently themed ride (Rapids).

From what I've heard, the park has conisdered retheming New France at one point, but the park would need a reason to (I.E. an anchor attraction to keep people in the country) and that hasn't really come up. Maybe when Le Scoot's time comes up, the park will transform the area, but not right now.

Oh and I thought Mach was a good addition to the park. It would look a bit nicer with a stripe down the side or maybe lower the brakes a tiny bit to keep the thrill up a bit longer, but those really aren't huge issues. :p
 
In all truth, however Ireland's theming has a lot to do with the locations of it's buildings and ride (although I'd rather call it a freezer that makes you dizzy). Festa is hard to theme because Tradewind and Turkish Delight are smack dab right in the middle of the area. Although it would be possible for a Festa retheme, the chances of it being the same quality as Ireland are pretty slim when you look at the locations.

Ireland: buildings to side, plenty of room in middle of area (rainbow bridge,fountain,etc.)
Festa: some buildings to side (spread out though) and two rides in middle of area
 
At least Festa is somewhat Italian and goes with the Europe theme, somewhat. New France has a worse connection to Europe. Either way, Festa does look like it can use some updating.
 
New France may not fit in with the European theme, but it is a very well themed section. I hope they dont change it. Almost every park has some type of wooded or western themed section, even parks that are not themed. I guess New France is BG's version of it.
