RE: Project 2017
Wasn't that the height of Verbolten's indoor section? Pretty sure these are not exact plans for 2017's ride.

That's what I'm beginning to think. All of this hype & marketing wouldn't be for a 2 new buildings near Caribou.

RE: Project 2017
Most of the pages are deliberately obscured, and the clear ones don't look like an attraction to me.
In this post http://bgwfans.com/2016/location-of-project-2017/ , Zachary says the plans in the first video are from the Le Scoot pool refurbishment. I think I see some of that in here. He also mentioned some refurbishment of other parts of New France - I suspect that is what we are seeing. Either "Fake" plans, or plans for building upgrades/flume refurb/etc.
Of course, there may be something informative buried in all that, but nothing jumps out so far.

The attraction layout itself isn't in these plans, this is just a basic application to develop the area highlighted. Anything more specific is probably listed elsewhere in the documentation.

There's no ride in these plans—just so everyone is following. They appear to be basic site impact plans. A lot can be gleamed from them, but the chance you'll find out much about the coaster is slim.

With such a small foot print, low height, and similar location in regards to the train as Cobra's Curse, I'm seriously expecting this to be a spinner.

RE: Project 2017
A package deal with Mack would make sense. I'd be totally hyped if it was a spinner.

I love the marketing for this so far! However, the 60' height thing is really lowering my expectations, even if thats just to throw people off.

RE: Project 2017
It's worth noting that the trench that Alpie and Le Scoot are built in extends back into this proposed ride area, so a 60ft coaster could have a substantially taller drop.

RE: Project 2017
The basin of LeScoot does have a rather large footprint. I'm thinking the redoing of itight have been part to support footers better than the old basin.
A spinner isn't the only coaster that could fit that footprint. A Euro Fighter could easily go there as well.

RE: Project 2017
Exactly. The firm who developed these plans, VHB, is simply just a land development and transportation firm (for the most part), so these are obviously just site plans. The only real information you'll get about the coaster would be from the structural/architectural plans.Thomas said:

After riding El Toro, I'm really wishing it was an Intamin prefab. BGT has had two recent rides from them and Intamin is very slow stateside these days. That said I don't see that as a big possibility. RMC could also be a possibility. Perhaps a contingency/bundle deal with Gwazi. I have yet to ride a RMC but I imagine they are pretty great(I am a sucker for ejector air).
P.S. I dont consider the topper track worthy of the "wooden coaster" name. Seems like a cop out imo.

Sadly, I agree. I'll Just have to settle for a trip to SFGA every several years or so. :/
