RE: Project Madrid: New Hamlet? Giga Coaster? 315' Tower?
I totally get it was A joke, Just shedding some light on the pic he posted.

It has been referenced several other times thorough the fora, and its bizzarness was just one of the many reasons I thought it appropriate. That and the proximity to a age demo.

I could see a starflyer going in or some year round non-thrilling observation tower going in due to the beauty of coastal Virginia. I could also see a major coaster being integrated as well. I can see a highly themed Hamlet making use of the animals and their fields.
Obviously I can't see clearly the rain hasn't gone.
In all seriousness, I like to think all three would be implemented creating a brand new Hamlet to help reduce the dead end feel of Roman rapids and festa italia. It could bring more people to RR and then they could test to see if it's still worth keeping. A Mexicano land as previously mentioned would be interesting, or perhaps a Jamestown themed section, using the historical triangle as a pull. They could even use historic Jamestowne and jamestown settlement as advisors. Goodness knows both could use the money.

As the off-season approaches, I just thought this post from two years ago was amusing in hindsight.
...this does not give me hope for such a ride...

And here we are, discussing if Project Madrid will be a 315 ft launch coaster over the Rhine.Shane said:

Or it simply shows how the park's view on us has changed. A few years ago they were throwing Zacharyout of the park for taking pictures of Tempesto being build and now they are trolling us a stealing our ideas. Now that is progress if true.

So if my estimates on a timeline are right, and they want this for 2019, then we should be seeing something popping up with this project by the end of January. I think if something comes much later than that we're looking at a later date because soon the overall timeline is getting really crunched.

RE: Project Madrid: New Hamlet? Giga Coaster? 315' Tower?
I be willing to push the guess back one month but I agree its getting might my guess is by the end of February if its for 2019. It also wouldn't surprise me if we saw 2019 as a slow year where we saw another year of infrastructure work and like we did in 2016 with Marco Polo and other such works and Madrid was a 2020 project.warfelg said:

Let’s say this is a 2019 project...the real question is would we see an announcement at PMPD or if they would be more quiet about it. I know they’ve been far more open in their recent additions but at the same time none of them are as large scale as a potential Giga.

RE: Project Madrid: New Hamlet? Giga Coaster? 315' Tower?
True true. If this is something big like a coaster, I could see them wanting to take 2019 off.
I think some of that comes down to SEAS and the money situation there. If they are looking to sell the BG properties, the best idea would be to put some money in there in 3 consecutive years, build up more attendance, get excitement going. So even though you spent a lot on rides, you are pushing in more people and potential cash flow to make it more enticing.
A little off topic here: but it's interesting all of this is happening and nothing with BGT (I really could be wrong, but not living there I'm not really paying attention). Unless the idea is after 2018 and BfE, 2019 goes to big investment in BGT.
As far as here, I think if it's a 2019 opening target, waiting til the end of Feb. can really cramp a timeline if anything does wrong. So if they post everything end of Jan, they theoretically could start clearing mid-Feb if everything gets approved on time. If anything get's pushed off it could be mid-March. If they wait for the end of Feb to file, mid-March would be a best case groundbreaking, and mid-April very likely. Considering they would want to start footers ASAP if this is a project for 2019, then they wouldn't want to risk not being able to open up early enough.

It's clear: if we want answers we'll need to get our hands on the intel the deer are gathering.

I'm being quoted out of context here... That post was regarding the establishment of the Concepts Think Tank and has nothing to do with Madrid and I think was obviously facetious.

To my eye, anyway, you weren't being quoted seriously -- and the out-of-context angle was super-deliberate.
