For the record, if anyone would like to start a thread inquiring about how past leaks have been handled, what we typically do to evaluate the risks involved with leaked content, etc. by all means, do so. I'll try to answer the questions I can. It's a part of the process that, after tonight, I do think could probably use a bit more exposure.

Sadly, social media is never a safe place to post anything so recklessly as this picture was, because once it's on there, it really never comes down. Unfortunately, after a quick look at some hashtags, that picture is still alive and well online.

Falling into the same timeline as Fury 325's testing procedures. I imagine opening date will come soon, maybe around Spring Break?
I've been off and on tracking this whole debate, but who mentioned anything about being "out to get BGWFans"??
Nobody is sitting here and complaining out of jealously?? Nobody is complaining that the picture was posted somewhere else first?? It's not even about who posted it first. This whole thing seems to be about when it was posted and how safe it is to post something like that.

I don't pretend to know all of Zachary's motives for what he does. And to be honest, I completely missed the picture or whatever was posted just because I was at work. But, I do have some faith in what he says when it comes to sharing information which could hurt somebody's livelihood.Brian said:
Could he have been nicer about it? Maybe? Probably? Not really? I don't know. Again, I'm missing the entire picture. The jist I have is somebody (You) posted a picture through another fansite, and said fansite is run by somebody who buttsheads a lot, or at the very least actively disagrees with Zachary, and thus isn't likely to listen to any sort of advice he has to offer.
I have no idea if the original post had a name attached to it, so he could privately say something to you. That's all a mystery to me. (And it doesn't need to go any further. I don't require an explanation.)
All I was saying, was nobody thinks anybody is out to get BGWFans, or any other site for that matter. It's not out of jealousy. It's out of safety for somebody's job.

I totally understand what you are saying. I'm sorry for any misunderstandings! Let's all just end it right here.
Tempesto has been the most dreaded park addition by many people so far. It has already received complaints of being a carbon copy coaster. However, the one key point is how will capacity and quick queue interact with the ride. It seems that you can only get a single quick queue for Tempesto by winning the new plinko game in Festa Italia. In the end, it seems quick queue may not really have the big effect on the ride’s capacity since you have to win it instead of buying it.
Another piece of news revolves around Pegasus Gifts. As I mentioned before, the shop will feature many anniversary gifts. However, the shop will also be re-themed and sell Tempesto gifts as well. There will be ceiling fans made of bike wheels.
The ride is based off of a bike-riding dare devil, Diavolo, who would ride a regular bike through loops as he traveled throughout the world. In order to travel around, he kept his bike in a wagon. This wagon will be one of the prominent theme features. You will also see another theme element that is a half of a loop with a bike on top of it.
Advertising for the ride will be based around calling all daredevils and daredevils wanted. I can also further confirm that the concept art BGWFans found earlier is indeed actual concept art that will be used in advertisements.

Thank you. You've completely changed my opinion of the theme. It sounds pretty awesome now! This is definitely gonna be better than the other clones.
Yes I finally have understood the theme myself. For the longest time I was trying to find out who is the dare devil. But yes, Diavolo is the name of the dare devil and Tempesto is just an Italian word the park picked for the ride.
In the midst of the whole Zachary picture thing, I saw someone say trains were on site. Does anybody have a picture? (That won't get anyone fired.) If not, at least tell us what they look like.
Trains are, indeed, onsite. I think I can talk more about them tomorrow.
