Optimism: They possibly decided against the original plan they were testing with the height balloon
Pessimism - Is this the same "slide" @Zachary saw? If so, then the tweet is legit. It's what was tweeted is highly suspect.
Optimism - If so, had anyone see an addendum to the lat./long. in the FAA application?
Staying on the Optimistic side - this is concept art for a presentation early on in the planning process. Maybe for stock analysts, etc.
Pessimistic - what the heck kind of coaster is this? From the "clarity" it almost looks like the spire has a twist midway up. And the top hat looks to be maybe in the German parking lot.
Definitely not what anyone expected if true. Especially the shuttle part. It provides more questions than answers.
Soaring With Dragon looks fun! However, is that considered a shuttle coaster? I think we need to take a few steps back and definite a shuttle coaster. I think most people think of the Boomerang coasters.
Yes, I know what it is. I posted the video speculating after I saw the initial discussion of the slide. And believe that's what we may be. But this isn't it. This is poor concept art. I'm thinking, at this point, you want to believe it's a real rather than see the overall faults others have elaborated.
We should add a feature to like replies more than once. This gets 17 likes from me.
This is your exact logic. You don’t want to believe it’s true because it’s not the traditional giga you all wanted.
That hasn't been anyone's logic as to why it isn't true. We just see some possible issues with what has come out, some red flags.I would like it if it was true, because then we would know the final product. But I am struggling to believe it because there are clear issues with what has come out, and there isn't enough to be 100% convinced.
If you call that me being salty because it isn't the traditional giga I wanted
Bringing a Soarin with Dragon concept ride to the US is awesome and in my personal opinion it would be an awesome addition to BGW. To be quite frank I did not like the idea of a 2nd B&M mega coaster at BGW for those hoping for a B&M Giga. Carowinds and CW it makes sense for them as they're generic amusement parks. But I really did not want to see what is literally a "giant Apollo's Chariot" less than 1000 yards from Apollo's Chariot. But this new development of a Soarin with Dragon style ride is pretty exciting.

I don't believe I've ever expressed a desire for a traditional giga. In fact, a while back, I actually questioned the logic of a traditional giga strictly on a marketing basis. BGW (IMHO) doesn't need one to stay competitive. They do need something totally unique as they've done historically. Yes, I heard a brief rumor of a T-Rex giga but my "guesstament" is it'll be SwD.
BUT this concept art does NOTHING to absolutely confirm an SwD will be built. It's not a "family coaster". The location of the major elements depicted in the art don't correlate with what we do know has been officially approved. It's obviously a concept...maybe even one shown in the private JCC Supervisor's meeting
I'd love for an SwD to be built more than any other speculation that's reared its head in this thread and other sites. But to emphatically state this artwork confirms it is reminiscent of little Natalie Wood whispering "I believe...I believe".
Intimidator and Fury are REALLY different rides and do not overlap at all. A Fury style Giga and Apollo would be similarly different.
I'm on the side of skepticism with the powerpoint. The labeling is what gives it away as potentially fake. It seems like it was made by a 5th grader for a school presentation. If this is actually made by personnel at Seaworld, then I'm worried about the company going forward. Lmao. I'm not opposed to a shuttle coaster compared to a Giga, but this slide just looks off.
I got to say it, that picture looks like a bad photoshop of what someone thinks BGW looks like from the Italy bridge with a modified resized overlay of this:
I get that and I would be more than happy if it was in fact a B&M Giga confirmed as more fun rides makes a park better. Just as a matter of personal preference I was hoping it was something else. Throwing a fit over them building two separate B&M Mega Coasters is like getting mad at a park for building multiple wooden coasters. I generally look for the positives of whatever new ride parks build regardless. I ride them for fun.
