RE: Who will make the "Multi-Launch Coaster" for 2012
Well I drove by a few times and never saw the balloon. That can only mean two things:
1. The tallest point of the ride can not be seen from 60 or the I-64 overpass and the balloon was up or...
2. I either missed the balloon test or it wasn't in the air yet.
sorry guys

Is it a hot air balloon??? Crazy question, but really...

no, it would be a regular old helium balloon I would think.

I was at the one for Griffon. Quite underwhelming to be honest. they take a red helium ballon maybe 3 feet around or so I guess and raise it to the proposed height of the structure. You basically just see how much of it shows above the tree line. I watched it from the fire station in grove and from route 60 across from the parking lot. That was back in 2005. I'm glad I saw it, if nothing else to say I was there, but it's not much of a show.

That was an interesting read. so FYI, existing grade ~55 feet above sea level.

Thanks to the concept coaster that I was working on, I know that the area is about 30 ft above sea level around where the station is. This means that the structures will be about two stories tall, no biggie.

Maybe check your gps stats on your phone or gps. They should include elevation/altitude.

I tried earlier but the clouds and rain make it a little tough.

well, my gps didn't work exactly right but according to Aster elevation data, the walkway in front of the old BBW queue is about 55ft above sea level.

My guess is that this new coaster will be a massive addition.
Apparently they know how much of a loss removing the BBW was, so now they are trying to make the new attraction as big as possible to soften the hearts of the coaster fans who hated the removal of BBW. (rest it's soul :angel
BTW, I know how you feel about the removal of BBW, Nora. It was the first ride I've ever rode at BGW. This new coaster better be amazing, or I may never step foot in Oktoberfest ever again.
The least they should do is have a plaque of some sort to remember the BBW by.
