STUNNING, ABSOLUTE OSCAR-WINNING CINEMA! I SHED A TEAR WATCHING THIS! 10/10!
Hey! The theming budget had to get cut somewhere
So while I’m still bummed I won’t be able to ride this (until the policy hopefully changes someday), I’ve thought of a way to keep myself excited for it to debut. I’m HOPING that after its inevitable success, plus the success of the Loch Ness Minster refurb, that BGW will realize nostalgia is what’s popular right now and double down on bringing back the past in good ways. Fully restore Verbolten and advertise it as an improved/2.0 version. Bring back corkscrew hill with a more reliable ride system. Refresh/restore/reimagine Pompeii. Don’t add new things just to add them (a-la Tempesto unfortunately). People respond well to nostalgia and improving the rides they’ve loved for years
Wrong thread I know but with Expedition Odyssey opening I wouldn't be too shocked if they did something like that here
Maximum height requirement. I’m praying one day they’ll adopt the Kings Dominion/Six Flags policy of asking instead of measuring and taking all answers at face value. I’m perfectly happy to verbally take on liability. All the max height limits are arbitrary and just there for insurance purposes.
It's nice to finally know the opening date and big kudos to the park for having the Pass Member preview ride being May 16th, the day the park first opened.
Times like this ensures why the current local park leadership is essential to BGW considering what we’re seeing out of SWO
My dream scenario is Herschend buys BGW and BGT. Though who knows if Herschend would stay as high quality if they expended their portfolio even further
I can in some ways see why you might want that, with their commitment to theming, quality, etc. but I think that would be a bad move overall.
My ACTUAL dream scenario is HQ gives BGW park leadership full creative control and a good budget so the park can more or less operate how it did back in its pre SEAS days
I unfortunately no longer think BGW is the best regional park in the country (it’s probably Dollywood? Holiday World?) but the bones of it are obviously still there. Make good investments and construct less hostile operations and it could be number 1 again. Next up on the docket needs to be a restoration of the Garden of Invention and the indoor spaces in Ireland.
Using the OG drop as the backdrop for nostalgia—cool. But that severely misrepresents the actual ride
I’ve heard and seen now new theming was added with a maypole. It’s very impressive 
Is the maypole in the plaza?I’ve heard and seen now new theming was added with a maypole. It’s very impressive
How about a sneak peak?
