As we know, Festhaus Park is currently being used seasonally for Howl-o-Scream mazes in the Fall and as a concert venue in the Summer. The several issues with expanding in that direction are the Verbolten event building eyesore, the Black Forest Picnic Area, and the long, narrow path to the field. I have come up with a concept to add a aesthetically pleasing, large-scale roller coaster in the area as a "Drachen Fire replacement" while preserving what Festhaus Park currently provides Busch Gardens and its guests with.
While some loathe the model and others rave about it, I decided to go forward with a custom Flying Coaster by B&M. The public would likely think the ride style is amazing much like they did with Griffon a decade ago. The model has also progressed greatly as of recently and seems to be in a place where adding a unique, high-intensity flyer would impress both the enthusiast community as well as the general public. My concept was inspired by elements present on the Big Bad Wolf's Bavarian village half, Drachen Fire's first drop, and parts of Starry Sky Ripper.
The footprint of the whole area includes a new, permanent venue dedicated to concerts and a new indoor HOS maze (area much like the Royal Palace) and would require the removal of Lumberhack maze. The standing Drachen Fire infrastructure would have to be removed to accommodate 8-car long flyer trains. A new dual station and maintenance bay would be built on the existing foundations.
First the trains would dispatch in the opposite direction than its predecessor, toward the Rhine. It makes a steep climb at 55 degrees to 152' above the ground followed by a 50' drop into a corkscrew. From the inversion, the train flies down a 130 foot drop into a very big left overbank by the train bridge. The twisty barrel roll/Fly-to-Lie element then follows leading into a vertical loop flying by the station and service roads. Then a Lie-to-Fly over the railroad, flyby the railroad, and right overbank into the ravine on the left side of the train tracks. In the ravine the train passes by several close call elements in a new BBW style Bavarian village with a barrel roll "smashing" through buildings then diving under the train tracks for a flyby the ride entrance and a helix finale. This ride takes world records for longest flying coaster at 3,802 feet, highest inversion on a flying coaster and biggest drop on a flying coaster both at 130 feet. Narrowly missed the fastest to beat Tatsu by 1mph. The concept was built in No Limits 2 at a 1:1 scale and seems to fit perfectly to what I drew up in the JCC GIS map.

Apologies for the poor quality but this is more or less the layout written above. What do you think? I'd like to hear comments or opinions
