That is exactly what I thought about when I saw the diagram of the building that the coaster will pass through. With theming on the outside like Curse of Darkastle this could be beast, and I believe Busch will pull it off, unless they force me to believe otherwise. I just don't want an eye soar in a beautiful area of the park.

technically, the bumper cars are autobahn themed and are you forgetting le mans?

Agreed, I'm hoping most (if not all) of the building will have a nicely themed facade. They better not cut any corners like they did with DarKastle's facade. Which looks great except for the large visible un-themed section.

I can't imagine them using a happy kiddie mascot for the ride. It would be something intimidating like all of the others. If they do something like an evil anthropomorphic tree creature I'm boycotting BGW forever!
I was being quite facetious when I posted that to point out the lack of mascot capability with the themes. No one wants anything like that.
While this might be a stretch, they could still fit a Dragon (or dare I say, Wyvren) in with a Black Forest theme.

I know the bumper cars have an Autobahn theme, and I've never really liked that. Plus, the Le Mans cars are not exactly Autobahn suitable, nor did they drive through an expansive forest. Additionally, the Le Mans race was held nine years before the first section of Autobahn was completed, though I know that means little. Plus, Le Mans is gone, so the park is now car-free.

technically though Th13teen isn't themed for families, the coaster is built for shorter people...
and Superman at Movieworld has a very impressive dark ride portion to its ride.
Intamin does make dark rides, they're just not great and usually aren't combined with their coasters. However, like KDcoasterMAN said, Th13teen has dark ride elements.
For some reason, our spell check accepts Th13teen as a word, but it thinks Williamsburg isn't. I think that's pretty funny.

Most likely I believe that the track will be the same color at Mach Tower, but if it isn't. I think we will see a dark color, because of the dark ride element. Anyone else have any thoughts regarding this?
From what I have heard there is going to be a mind blowing stunt happening in the event building, this is probably going to be kept a secret until it opens also I have heard all a mono color track theme so my guess all black to be hidden in the new black forests or some bright color to make it stand out
Swiftman said:Could you tell us where in relation to this picture these buildings were?
I honestly have no clue what buildings your would be talking about- I'll have a look if I get up there tomorrow...
I think the building will right about either tree level are maybe a little shorter. remember they are probably digging a little deeper in to ravine.
Ok everyone, I'm going to say this right here so that everyone can see it: Getting the scoop is nice, but not when it endangers someone's livelihood. If you know what I'm talking about, then this applies to you. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, this doesn't apply to you.
Thanks for your understanding,

So, what do you all think of this:
Do you think that could be one of the "firsts" that the park was talking about?

The phrase: "mind blowing stunt." makes me worry about if this coaster will be family friendly or not.
They might be able to get away with a non-blue one depending how high it got off of the ground. You could never see BBW from outside the park. That being said, black or dark green would be cool. Depending on the effects in the building, black would make it look even better.
One of my favorite coaster rides ever was riding Millenium Force in the fog so you couldn't even see the track ahead of you (It brought tears to my eyes). That would be an awesome effect to have in the building.

The problem with having the track be black is:
Ok so we all know VA can get really hot and sunny...well black attracts sunlight and sunlight causes heat...heat causes metal to expand...expanding metal can prohibit the wheels from rotating properly...non-properly rotating wheels equals ALOT of shutdowns...a lot of shutdowns equals unhappy customers...and goes on and on
