Next Coaster Type
- Thread starter Griff
- Start date
Unless the city/Kingsmill allows anything over 240 feet, chances are you're not gonna see anything taller than Apollo or Mach Tower at BGW anytime soon. Giga included.

Personally if there going to drop A wing Coaster in the Park I would rather see it Across From The Festa Train Station and Cross the Livestock Field, Interact with the slopes down to the Rhine, cross the Rhine and head up the Verbolten Slope, make some dramatic turn in the trees on the slope and Return across the Rhine and field to the Station.
I know that's A long distance to travel but A record breaking Wing Coaster for length wouldn't be too shabby.
Would make the Rhine River Tour very interesting.
Just my Thoughts

I am just going to throw this out there. Kingsmill may have a bully pulpit but they are not the planning commission. So far as I know, and I certainly do not know all the history, the only real concession BGW has had to level for Kingsmill is baby blue paint.
I could be wrong as this happened in 2010, but BGW filed permits for a 260 foot drop tower, yet in the end Mach Tower is only 246 feet tall. Not sure as to why that change took place though that wasn't a decision done by the park.Zimmy said:
I don't think we know how much straight power Kingsmill actually has. I tend to believe that BGW has decided not to push back on their complaints and demands, because they determined it was not important enough to fight. I'm not sure we have ever seen a case where the park decided that they needed to proceed with their plans, regardless of local opinion.
Essentially, what I am saying is I don't think we have anyway to tell who would win in a real contest of wills. I would not be surprised if BGW could in the end do anything that they deemed important enough.

I can't recall specifically, but I think that Busch might have offered to do griffin in blue preemptively. See my last post regarding this. Busch makes the county tons of money, kingsmill does not.
I'm sure the park gets plenty of noise complaints from the neighbors and the golfers on the course next door. Most of the major rides except Mach and Pesto have some sort of noise dampening to make the rides quieter.
Even then I'm hoping this new coaster will mean the beginning of the park going toe to toe with the neighbors and not taking anymore shit from them. Although the park may have to build tunnels like Gold Strike around the ride worst case scenario.

They can just put sand in the B&M track, in fact, i think that all of BGW's B&M coasters do have sand in them.
I feel like Kingsmill has had quite a bit less sway over the park's decisions ever since the two became unaffiliated. Of course, this is just pure conjecture on my part.
It also could be the park management trying to please everyone at once and failing just like Howl O Scream severed head incident.

They do, Alpie originally opened without sand in it's supports and had them filled the year after it opened.
Honestly if BGW really wanted something and James City County denied their request, BGW could petition to be annexed into York like Kings Island threated to do a few years back. On the other hand, I don't think BGW wants to piss off it's neighbors considering a large chunk of them are most likely pass holders that go a lot.

My opinion would be they just don't care to spend the money one the legal battle that would ensue if the pushed back. Because something like that would certainly mean court dates, legal fees, hiring experts, likely developing multiple plans which means needing more planners, less time working on the park.
I'm fine with them not fighting it and slowly just pushing the limits more and more as to what they can do.
I don't think people have thought a Flyer was coming to BGW for a long while. That was quite an old rumor. As far as a Hyper GT-X, the height balloon was too high for a GT-X; they are are more compact and advertised with a max height of around 100ft.
The only coaster I'd like to see in BGW is a very large, very long, MACK launching coaster that twists through the Rhine valley and surrounding woods. Dream come true.
Once you get to the 200 ft height it stops being a Chance GT-X and starts being a Chance Hyper Coaster. Again, not going to happen at BGW. Especially since the park already has Apollo. The two ride experiences are too similar and BGW doesn't duplicate ride experiences.
On your flyer rumor, there hasn't been any legitimate, reliable B&M Flyer rumor for BGW since Verbolten was announced. It's only silly fanboy talk. My understanding was that the park was seriously considering it for a BBW replacement before the In-Bev/Blackstone deal, but not since.
