Project 2015: Tempesto

RE: Project 2015: Premier Rides Coaster for Festa Italia

I really can't help but be more and more disheartened by the ever increasing spiral that BGW has been on for the better part of four or five years.  They give me just enough to hope that things will get better, that the magic will return to BGW.  I can say that I've at least enjoyed some things the park has done in the last few years, particularly Verbolten, which I think is a wonderful little ride.  But then the park likes to belt me with something absolutely befuddling, something that makes me say, "No, BGW really has changed."

I just can't abide a park that produces something like this.  This looks like an utter train wreck and a desecration of everything that BGW used to be.  BGW used to be a park that I always wanted to take my kids to someday, to see them experience the magic that I used to feel.  BGW used to feel like someone added a little bit of Disney to a seasonal theme park, it used to feel a step above other regional parks.  It had class, it could've been a contender, it could have been something instead of a bum, which is what is, let's be honest.

Some of you may say that I'm just being negative, but it's been several years of this now.  Busch Gardens has had me on a roller coaster of emotions just as bad as Diavolo, or whatever name they end up calling it.  It's been difficult following this project, and I just hope they leave a little bit of the Old Country left to enjoy.

You're not having enough fun, that's the problem.

How I predict everyone will look walking into Festa next season:

Don't worry, they'll have that look well rehearsed thanks to whatever's going on in England this year.

RE: Project 2015: Premier Rides Coaster for Festa Italia

It's funny, because I can bet you that's what I looked like going into Banbury after the renovations this year.

How about this gem?

RE: Project 2015: Premier Rides Coaster for Festa Italia

More logic.

"Alpengeist is a popular coaster. Alpengeist has face cutout photo ops. Face cutout photo ops will make our new coaster popular!"

How the heck am I supposed to bend my head all the way around to get through the bottom one?

RE: Project 2015: Premier Rides Coaster for Festa Italia

The lawsuits from people trying to hang upside down to get their face to fit properly into the photo op will be a nice bonus.

 

[Jrbgwfan06]

RE: Project 2015: Premier Rides Coaster for Festa Italia

The sign will be broken within a month, because some idiot got too into trying to make the photo op work.

I thought there was some talk about this coaster possibly being a settlement from the Mach Tower fiasco? Or at least a large part of its funding. Did that turn out to be the case?

I think it might be for the construction fence.

 

[Jrbgwfan06]

RE: Project 2015: Premier Rides Coaster for Festa Italia

I don't think so.

Once I heard the news, I had not liked it.

After giving some thought to it I just realized its not worth the trouble to even care about this. Festa is already nothing more than a loosely Italian themed carnival. This just enhances that theme. I imagine the park will try to amplify the carnival theme throughout the hamlet.

If this was somewhere else, I'b be more concerned. But it is in a hardly themed area. If anything, this will help define the area's theme a lot more.

Also, I see nothing wrong with trying to update the park, moving to a more modern European theme is not a bad thing. It just means they are changing their image.

Either way, I'm not debating this. Carry On and Complain.

This Ghost Rider themed ride is gonna be amazing. ; u;

RE: Project 2015: Premier Rides Coaster for Festa Italia

I agree PR. The whole point of Festa is a fair and this really does add to the fair factor. This sounds like it will really add some night life to Festa with those lights shooting up on the coaster and AC. I actually am pretty excited! (Ducks for Cover!)

You obviously don't know what Festa is supposed to be.

Other than that. I just feel some of you are trying to make rainbows out of a load of poop. You're trying to keep telling yourself the park isn't in a decline, even though it clearly is. I understand though, it's hard to accept that a place you love is in a downward spiral. It's like trying to accept that one of your loved ones has cancer, and might die.

That's a bit of a heavy-handed statement Matthew. Though I may largely agree with you, you can't just declare you're correct. Not really how it works.

 

[Jrbgwfan06]

RE: Project 2015: Premier Rides Coaster for Festa Italia

You don't have to listen to what I say, it's just what I think about the situation. You believe whatever you want, I will too.

Festa is about the travels of Marco Polo and a big celebration was thrown for him. Well Matthew over the years the park has taken out theming about Marco Polo causing it to become an Italian fair. Now it's not official but I just feel that's what I've come to think.
