Well, Channel 13 has picked up on the teaser campaign.
On the positive, BGWFans was mentioned in the story. ?
On the negative, they also, for some weird Channel 13 News reason, linked footage of Apollo's Grand Opening. ?

The narrative clues seem to follow the coaster layout,, and quest for an individual ...
"Run messages to the Gods on Mercury's lightening fast wings" (launches)
"Implore Minerva, the goddess of wisdom & war, to guide you through the extreme journey" (taking possession of Minerva's trident at the spike)
"Rise with the power of Neptune's trident, and plunge deep into the raging sea" (top hat into the river drop)
"Escape Pluto's underworld and be immortalized in the Garden of the Gods" (jettisoned out of the river drop, transitioning from mortal to immortal status)
I'm leaning toward a coaster name of "Gladiator."

That's why I think Trident might work. Yeah, technically there's 4 launches. But the big three....Can you imagine an illuminated trident atop the spike?
I think this coaster is going to have something to do with Roman gods. I'm not sure. But something.
P.S. There's an entire theme park named Mt. Olympus so would they go there as a name for the ride?
And is Mt. Olympus a part of Roman lore as well as Greek? If so, that seems quite fitting.
Challenge of Olympus... or some ish.

But in James City County you can't have permanent lights above 60 feet unless required by FAA regulations so that it would have to be at like 59' 11 15/16" lol i still love this idea
Wasn't me saying I don't care about this thread, moreso highlighting how sad it is that I'm so invested but somehow don't care enough to pay attention to the details. Kinda calling myself a fake fan, if you will.
Quite the opposite of saying I don't care about this. But I can understand how it could be misunderstood.
They could put lights on it. They would just need to apply for a waiver like they do to exceed structure height of 60'
I’m sensing - based on the clue narratives, that refer to them in the second person - Roman gods are backdrop to the quest.
Minerva traverses Roman / Greek mythology as Athena. She’s been represented with a trident, as well as Neptune. Intererestingly enough, according to link below, Athena (not Minerva) was more associated with war... which seems to contradict the BG clue.
Athena/Minerva
To the Greeks, Athena was the goddess of war and wisdom. Athena was one of the virgin goddesses and Minerva was too. They were different because Minerva was more known as the goddess of arts and...

Because the park is highly accurate with their historical references...
I'm not talking a highly bright trident. Just a ghostly blue hue in the night sky.
I think that'd still constitute a need for a light package waiver... Though maybe they could do a bat-signal instead?
It could be something like they do with Griffon during summer nights where they have spotlights on it to create a color effect
