I'm partial to Wooden Coaster 1, it just rolls off the tongue so nice.

One of many reasons why using FB polls to make decisions is a bad idea.
You know what I just had a thought, Rheinfeld has Alpengeist, Oktoberfest has Verbolten with BBW and Drachen Fire before that, Heathrow Downs has the Loch Ness Monster, Festa Italia has Apollo's Chariot and Tempesto, Aquitaine has Griffon, and now New France is getting a coaster. Could we end up seeing a coaster in every section of the park or at least the rest of it?

I believe the blue ribbons around the trees means they're gonna be history. If you see orange ribbons around trees they'll be saved and it serves as a warning to the construction and crew to leave them alone.

Its extremely unlikely Ireland will ever receive a coaster. The Wildlife preserve is located their and it would frighten the animals, or atleast create stress. In my opinion Invadr will most likely be the last coaster to take hold in the back of the park for a while. Besides dranchen fires old area it doesnt make much sense to overload the foot traffic. The top right area of the park will have Alpengeist ,Griffon, Invadr, Darkastle and lescoot It almost makes perfect sense now to why they placed tempesto at the polar opposite area of the park. This new placement also compliments foot traffic of families giving them a reason to go back to that edge of the park. (particularly when LeScoot is closed.)
While I know getting a coaster in Ireland doesn't seem like it would happen, I've always wanted them to put one where ETA is. I thought that the thought of a coaster running up and down that creek would be really cool for guests who are walking into the park. Not to mention what interactions it could have going up to the gate.
New poster here. Just want to get my unsolicited thoughts on InvadR out of the way. Overall, I like it, although the height requirements are short of ideal for BGW. However, it does add further balance to the coaster lineup, which is always a good thing IMO. I am a big fan of woodies, and this looks like a fun little coaster. It does seem like a relatively "minor" addition (as far as coasters go) though, hopefully BGW is still set up to receive a major new coaster in 2020 or so. This was probably discussed earlier in this thread but is what is the estimated cost of InvadR (Educated guesses are fine)?
I really cant see InvadR costing more than $6mil. Wikipedia (the best source ever, amirite) says White Lightning was a whopping $3.5m. Similar rides, so similar prices?
Here's something interesting that the park just posted to the InvadR website...
Interesting to see what this entails, and what the artwork actually is. You can access the submission sheet here.

So we all know cobras curse is heavily themed. Do we think they will try to do the same? In the past if you evaluate the major coasters targeted towards families Busch has always done a nice job in trying to make those experience's unique. However all of those rides were previewed with their theme elements in some way or atleast hinted towards. I guess my question relies more on the budget and how much the park is willing to spend for the attraction. Again I don't want to be a debbie downer but i'm really frustrated over the uniqueness and input involved with cobras curse, compared to what they have announced to us so far.
I think the queue area will be nice, but then again how themed can a wooden coaster be? I could see it looking something like voyagers smokehouse at SWO.

You have to keep in mind that the proximity of BGT to the Orlando theme parks means they have to have stronger thematic elements with their rides than BGW as they have more competition to deal with. Also, a ride like Cobra's Curse allows for way more themimg flexibility than a wood coaster.

Maybe that is because the park is having us help decide things of this nature. For BGW this is a first in a long while announcing and working on the project so far in advance.
New post from the engineers/in house design staff discussing the concerted effort to maintain the lush canopy in the area. Glad to see them actually focusing in on this.
