RE: Project 2015: Premier Rides Coaster for Festa Italia

While that's not so eye-burn-y compared to the signage we've seen so far...wowza indeed!

EDIT: Oh my GOD, that's the operator booth, I'm dying

I really hope these designs change the park just gets stupider by the minute with these plans.

The operators booth looks like a carnival barkers booth. Wonder if they will be in straw hats with red and white stripes shirts. "Ladies, gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages! Step right up and feast your eyes on this!!"

Abstract Expressionism coaster!

They will call it Pollock's Last Ride.

DON'T DO THAT! I nearly fell out of my chair! That is the damn funniest thing I have ever read on this forum!

Can someone please boo this, loudly, when it's announced? Screamscape put it best - you have to have the right ride for the right park. I rode Superman at Six Flags DK a few weeks ago and, while fun, it's 40seconds long and the lines get insane.

I know Busch needs an affordable attraction, but holy wowza is this a weird choice. It will draw guests, and that's cool, but this ride is ugly, apparently themed tackily, and is....ugh. People. Please. Just boo it when it's announced....
 
RE: Project 2015: Premier Rides Coaster for Festa Italia

I've missed a few pages in this lengthy thread but wanted to share a thought I had.  Has anyone else suggested the low capacity of Diavolo is likely to result in significantly higher Quick Queue sales at BGW?  I recently had a chance to visit BGT on a weekday and found QQ a near necessity due to long lines. I am not sure this is an intentional strategy by the park, but I think it is likely to be a nice benefit.

I doubt the park picked this because of the low capacity, most likely that they thought this was the best option of a lot of crappy ones. That's also the fact that the trend thus far has been that rides don't have QQ the first year they open.
 
RE: Project 2015: Premier Rides Coaster for Festa Italia

I don't think even BGW is so slimy as to buy a low-capacity coaster to boost Quick Queue sales. Even when this is the same park that was trying to scam people into buying tickets to a free show.

Yeah, they really are doubling down on the whole "Festa" carnival thing, aren't they? It's as if they know they have nailed the whole "lame carnival" theme, and decided to run with it. Weird. Weird choice. It's like an overproduced parking lot touring carnival theme.
