The three headed dog "Cerberus" makes sense with the triple launch. Pluto also had an ebony chariot drawn by 4 black horses (black train with highlights from the color palette we've seen?). He also owned a a Helmet of Invisibility.
But I also think BGW might lean on KISS (keep it simple, stupid). Going with the Roman Gods theme (as they seem to be doing) I foresee them picking a highly recognizable name. They don't want people to have to research a name to find out what it means. So, I'm still leaning towards "Mercury”, who was sent to negotiate with Pluto.
"Immortalized in the garden of gods" sounds like a photo op (ala Disney). A heavily landscaped garden with statues of Apollo, Mercury, etc. in a circle with a place for riders to stand with the statues for a picture (replacing the on-ride photo).

Hopefully this will actually be themed somewhat well in the queue/station
You obviously must be confused. This is BGW, not a park in Orlando.
Mercury was in some cartoons and was a car in ancient times. I think he's more recognizable than some of the "minor league" gods. But, again, we're talking BGW so I'm not counting on too much "accuracy".
Ancient times @madmax ...ancient times.
I refer you to the last two "major" additions...Invadr and Finnegan's Flyer. And the leaked plans show nothing.

I will say that theming documents have not yet been leaked so we can't know for sure until then. But from what is filed and leaked at this point: it doesn't look like anything elaborate.
I'm not seeing much outside of the usual Festa style.
Would theming have even been in these drawings? I’m genuinely not sure of the answer but it wouldn’t surprise me if they were only supposed to show the bare bones structural stuff and not what the finished product will actually look like on the outside.
Or, it’s just another boring Festa building.
As I understand it at this stage they don't have to have the theming including in the drawers. They can just be the basic structure with the theming to come later
Let's keep in mind that Kevin has said in multiple documented recordings that he is "really excited with the creative direction". Take that for what you will, but it sounds like they are putting at least some effort into the theming.
Busch should make a late change... to an Intamin winged coaster (a la Furious Baco, Skyrush) for this ride.
Intamin probably has an improved winged design, now, that more closely matches the regular seated train.

They can’t. It wouldn’t fit at all with the layout or the station (or any proportions).
