Is afterburn good? Im riding that thing in april and all I got to compare is alpengeist and I think alpengeist is intense. But people rank afterbrun higher typically

I like Alpie more but Afterburn is relentless. I think I enjoy Alpie more because it's more of a terrain coaster.
I really never felt like it was a terrain coaster. It doesnt gain speed throughout the ride at all like a voyage or boulder dash feel
The photos this new coaster will have once it's complete and open are going to be stunning. I wonder if they're going to do a screen animation in the station building like Pheonix Rising does or if it's just going to be static theming.
I hope it will be reliable if they do a screen element in the station. Some wolves running in the forest would be cool or maybe a special dispatch animation like they did with DarKoaster with the window screen.
I think I'm also one of the only people who doesn't want ONBOARD audio for BB2. A soundtrack for both lift hills would be nice and the bell toll like they did in the promo either as you crest the first lift or as you dispatch, but the onboard audio for Phoenix Rising has been less than reliable and seems like a bad idea to pursue further. Unless B&M did some major refurbishment on their sound system, I don't want the same misfortune for BGW.
Thoughts?

Tea leaves: This ride will rock because the closeness to the ground will imply a sense of swiftness.
Still needs more marketing. Many people I know who frequent parks in VA/NC still weren't even aware of Pantheon...
Not seeing a peep out of the park about the progress like KD did with Rapterra.

I think a special dispatch screen with wolves might be perfect for this if it's going to happen. I will agree that on-board audio will be a big mess like Pheonix Rising and maybe lift hill audio (ala Loch Ness Monster) might be the safer/better option.
On board audio is a feature of the trains. It is planning to be used.
A few dispatch screens side by side to have the wolves chase the train out of the station.
I hope they don't spend any money on some video screens and media that will look cheesy from the start, break in a few years, and never be fixed/replaced. Physical structures and landscaping are a far better way to spend the ride's thematic budget.

I agree. If we were talking a Universal budget and maintenance, I'd love to see it, like Velicoaster's.
^Scott Ross and United corporate at that idea. But trust us, we all wish BGW had a budget like Comcast.
The track the train is on is the OG track from BBW. Intresting they added that in the render
The eyes are for sure going ot light up

Amazing trains. I love that there's Big Bad Wolf track up front and then some weird section of traveling upside down in a straight line behind it.
It looks like someone OK using ChatGPT asked it to make it.
