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.

Busch recently applied for a permit for an expansion and recently got approved for another expansion. Any ideas as to what this may be? ?

Ah I see, but it's confusing because it says that it was finalized 2 days ago. That's why I thought it was something different
Just hazarding a guess...JCC has to inspect to insure what was applied for was competed as submitted. With Covid-19 and the offices closed, it may have taken time for BGW to say they were done and inspectors back to work to do the final check.
 
I still have no idea how people could be mad at a launched giga, especially after Pantheon
 
I may be the only one, but I think WT is horribly underrated - I'd be really happy to see a variation of it in Virginia.
 
Oh don't get me wrong, I think Wicked Twister is tons of fun - it just kills me to think of it as a hyper coaster, even though it is one. I'd love for KD to get Dorney's if it wouldn't be seen as a smaller, shorter version of Volcano.
