RE: Project 2015: Premier Rides Coaster for Festa Italia
It died back in 2009. It's just now really starting to show.

Corporate is just getting us prepped for our sale to Six Flags.

Certain things just don't belong in certain places. This attraction as a whole doesn't belong at BGW.
Yes, I like the ride. I think it's fantastic (haven't ridden the one at Six Flags, but I like it). But the capacity is horrible. If they market this attraction correctly, it will have a lot of people, but then it's just going to piss everyone off for how long they waited to ride it. Newer rides should never have a capacity below 1k per hour. Unless they are shuttle coasters. But even those rides are getting better with the use of transfer tracks.
And the theme. I don't wanna start. I'm sure we all share the same feelings on the matter. No need in repeating it.
*sigh*

Never mind, those are clearly racing cycles. Ignore what I said.

So will a plastic biker figure with a shattered bike be tossed on top some shop nearby?
Sigh, at least this isn't themed to the Mafia or something.

has this been posted as a joke? because, i think this is the most ridiculous idea ever..first of all...BMX, Italy, Marco Polo's adventures,...wth? As if Festa Italia! has hardly any congruence as theme to begin with...they throw this oddity into the mix. The theme and the name do not have anything! to do with it's location. I mean...if we were going to keep in with the theme of Marco Polo..why not call it Zephyr, The Tempest, Khan..or if staying with the Roman/Italy theme...Medusa, The Gorgon, The Harpy, Stratos, The Minotaur...this is a disaster!

The first paragraph sounded great.
The rest made me cringe.

"Improved landscaping" is about the only thing good in that letter.

The theme may or may not work for the ride itself.
But we're talking London Rocks style gaudiness to make the ride blaringly obvious as heck, as if a 156ft loop isn't recognizable enough.

I don't think the park really understands what "enhances" my "experience."

So it looks like they are going the route of Festa is a circus and Diavolo is an extreme stunt show that you get to participate in? I don't mind the ride, but the theme sounds like something in a six flags park. All the other coasters are based on some kind of myth or story. This just seems not thought out.

Look at the bottom right hand side of those posters. "One Night Only". I wish.

I feel like they're moving in the direction that Festa Italia is an Italian Carnival(traveling carnival?). And every attraction is part of the carnival(I don't see how AC, and RR fit into that, but..). I guess if you looked at it from that direction the theme fits somewhat, because often at carnivals, they have stunt shows. But to me this just makes Festa even more of a themed mess. Let's face it though, Festa never had a cohesive theme, and I guess this is just icing on the disorganized cake.

^^^Sadly, nothing in the park seems thought out anymore.
