Project 2021/Drachen Spire: Intamin Multi-Launch Shuttle Giga Coaster [Cancelled]

General Information:​

"Project Drachen Spire," is a community-generated identifier for the Intamin-made, multi-launch, shuttle giga coaster that was originally slated to open at Busch Gardens Williamsburg in 2021. The attraction is planned to utilize the currently-vacant land behind Verbolten, Festhaus Park—the former home of Drachen Fire.

The coaster's main layout—as leaked before the addition was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic—featured two launches, two spikes (one spiral, one vertical-ish), and a couple of banked turns. Drachen Spire was designed to run two trains by means of a pair of switch tracks connecting the primary, shuttle portion of the layout to the station platform.

Damn. And I really concentrated to come up with that thot....

Better luck next time.

 

[dude205]

I can’t even imagine what the marketing for this ride will be like after what they are going through for Pantheon.

Tallest and fastest multi-launching coaster with 2 switch tracks and backwards ride time in the world!!

 

[warfelg]

Care to share or link this new permit? I mean not all of us can take the time to go find all of this.

 

[Adam]

Yes, please share because I'm on JCC's permit website and there's nothing new..

 

[madmax]

Idk Zack probably will get a hold of it and post an article

 

[Adam]

How do you know there is a new permit then? Zachary and I have usually been on top of catching these as they come out.

Ok? I've never seen someone use that as to why they hold back something like this. If you see something like that just post it.

I'm going to go on with my day like there's nothing new.

 

[madmax]

I just heard about it (I don’t have anything)

Edit: Oh wait nvm it’s for BGT 2021. Carry on.

 

[Adam]

I just heard about it (I don’t have anything)

Fair enough. It usually takes some time for them to show up online. I'll be on the lookout and let Zachary know if there is anything to go check out at the permitting office

My mistake. Other BG park but still relevant to BGW I guess

In other news actually related to BGW 2021, there's a new request for utility markings on site. Nothing relating to construction yet of course, since they still need an approved site plan and land disturbing permits. Also nothing really special, just some utility test holes to determine their depths.

 

[warfelg]

I do not miss having to do utility marking updates to site plans. Waste of my time because the 811 guys were lazy.

 

[GrandpaD]

When your making a "test hole" it's advisable to use a "Nice Builder".

I'm more appalled by "with in" being two words

Not sure how to interpret that is that two rides or could it be interpreted as a ride station and maintenance building as two buildings.
