more supports were delivered on tuesday. mostly site work was done on wednesday...water pipes and such. david nice was off thurs-sun.
So when guests ask this weekend "What is that new coaster in Festa?" are the park staff still going to respond with "What roller coaster? It's just landscaping work?" Cause anyone who goes over there that isn't blind will see that thing now..
No, if you ask, they'll call security and threaten you with a lifetime ban unless you apologize for trespassing with your eyes and swear to pretend that you saw nothing.

They'll just say, "Apollo's Chariot? It's not that new anymore."
Settle down, settle down class. It's just some new plumbing that may look similar to a roller coaster.

I knew the park's next step was artificial metal trees.
"Just one of our new moving Signs to welcome park guests" carry on....
It's the Statue of Glittery: a monument to our favorite BGW VP, Scott Gasparich.

I know this isn't quite what you were going for... but at least this way they could get some free marketing while reusing some old props.

It is extremely weird that there hasn't been any type of announcement. I'm guessing it will be in January but you would think they'd want to advertise it during all these $12 ticket days with the park filled to the brim.
I agree with many of the comments in the fact that it is quite odd that the park has yet to announce this new attraction. Even more odd is that local media outlets in HRVA (VA Gazette, Daily Press, WTKR-TV, WAVY-TV, etc.) still have not yet run a story about the new coaster, that is clearly visible from the parking lot. Whatever the reason, the park has taken a strategic decision to delay this announcement. If I had to make a guess I would imagine that the park makes the announcement very early in January as they shift marketing and promotions from Christmas Town to the new 2015 season.
Except it would've been a more strategic decision to announce the coaster in September for Appreciation weekend and set up signs advertising the ride during HOS and CT.
Why waste time and money advertising a ride that nobody will ultimately care about?
Joe said:I think rvadude85 makes a good point. Why aren't the local news companies trying to squeeze a story out of this? These are the same people who copied BGWFans' plans (with credit) and reported on BGW building s wooden coaster or something. You'd think the news guys would be all over this "secret" coaster right now, perhaps taking advantage of the fact that they would be "first" to announce it.
Maybe that's what BGW was hoping would hapoen? That the news companies would do all their marketing for them?
Because the park gives them "early access" to new attractions, shows, etc. If they were to run a story about the new coaster without the park's permission, they jeopardize that. Surely you realize that's why BGWFans is never invited to anything, right?
