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.

I really hope this does get cancelled. Another launch coaster right after Pantheon would be too much for the park as it is. With the shift to year-round operations, DarKastle's replacement should be a much higher priority.

The whole logic of making DarKastle into an event space was to support the efficiency of moving into Howl-o-Scream and Christmas Town. Adding January and February doesn’t really change that logic.
