RE: Project 2015: Premier Rides Coaster for Festa Italia

Of course, at the rate they're going right now, maybe there won't be a real announcement. This will be their FB in March:

#SpringIntoFun2015 - Five days until opening day! Who's excited to see our latest additions to the Food and Wine Festival?

#SpringIntoFun2015 - Be sure to check out our freshly-scripted show London Rocks with all-new surprises! Four more days!

#SpringIntoFun2015 - Three more days! Who's ready to brave the Black Forest as we celebrate Verbolten's third birthday this spring?

#SpringIntoFun2015 - Two more days to go! Be sure to join as at 9 o'clock in England for a DJ party with remarks from our park president Carl Lum. Event concludes at 9:05.

#SpringIntoFun2015 - One more day to go! Is there anything else you are excited for?

#SpringIntoFun - One hour to go until we begin our 2015 season! And guess what, we have a new coaster for you! Cool, huh? Surprise!!

#SpringIntoFun2015 - Busch Gardens is now open! We have a new coaster.

ALSO we have a ride value of 2.5 million....
 
RE: Project 2015: Premier Rides Coaster for Festa Italia

They'll make some type of announcement in November when they can take media on a tour of the site and show off some CT decorations going up so it will promote two things at once.
 
RE: Project 2015: Premier Rides Coaster for Festa Italia

So you're telling me that the four Larson Fireball's being added to Six Flags parks are worth more than this? Maybe the 2.5 mil is how much BGW will still owe Premier from the Mach Tower settlement.
 
RE: Project 2015: Premier Rides Coaster for Festa Italia

Moser probably payed Premier upfront, and then gave the rest of the tab to BG.

Well I guess that makes sense. But it doesn't explain the value amount. I'm sure this value is used for tax purposes or other legal purposes. Why would the county only consider the dollar amount that BGW forked over as opposed to the actual 'value' of the ride?
 
RE: Project 2015: Premier Rides Coaster for Festa Italia

For an unannounced coaster, word is spreading. Check out the Virginia Tech section in this article from ESPN. (Sorry, Tech Fans...)

5. Virginia Tech (2-1)

Sources are telling me that Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia, is putting in a new roller coaster. The twist for riders is that just after they complete what they think is the toughest hill, the tracks will suddenly take a huge drop. It will be called the Beamer Screamer.
