My apologies for that! I thought they still offered a wooden model along with their hybrids.
Project 2025/Holzfäller: Big Bad Wolf 2 (B&M Family Invert)

I mean, S&S makes great flats and davincis cradle still needs replacing. If the comment was just about rides in general, I could see this being what was mentioned.
With the success of iron gwazi and the fact we have a family coaster similar in concept to Darkoaster and verbolten being built by B&m in seaworld Orlando, I could see B&m having been approached about that concept. But at this point I’d be willing to bet 10 busch bucks it’s gonna be an RMC hyper hybrid.
The only thing I’d like to see more than an RMC Hyper Hybrid, is a B&M Flying coaster called “Drachen Flyer”
I don’t know, with the leaked launched wing coaster for KD that seems to be on the horizon, I doubt it. But I think it would be a good fit
I think the problem I’ve heard with B&M Flyers in the US is related to US insurance companies so they are just not being built sadly.
Whatever it ends up being, I hope it brings a very unique ride to the park. An RMC would be awesome as I have only had the pleasure of riding one of them (Twisted Timbers). But anything new for the park would be awesome. We definitely have enough Multi-Launch coasters, though, if we got another that gave a very unique ride experience I would still be happy.
Having had the privilege of riding iron gwazi just a few weeks ago, if we got a ride half as good as iron gwazi, bgw will be even more so a must visit location.
Definitely looking forward to experiencing that ride eventually. As long as we get an RMC better than Twisted Timbers ill be happy. (that isn't too say TT isn't fun, Its a great ride. Id put it 4th on my list for best Rides in VA which is incredibly respectable. behind Pantheon, I305, and Tied with InvadR.)
Edit: Id like to clarify the reason I specify better than Twisted Timbers is because it would feel a lot less valuable to the park to get an all-new coaster of the same type as one in KD that is not as good.

If I’m going to dream I want to dream big and see a s&s axis do a throw back Drachen Fire and big bad wolf Bring in elements of both and it would be the first coaster of its type in North America. Plus with nessy and the flyers there’s already an established relationship. But it’s just a dream.
I've been saying g this ever since I saw the prototype of s&s axis coaster
To be fair he may have just been talking about the new trains a few years back. S&S and SEAS do seem to be getting along.
Personally, if BGW receives any new ride from S&S, I will be very upset. I've seen nothing from them I'm impressed with.
Come on BGW could really use another launch coaster or two I mean why settle for just setting the record for most drive the count so high no one else will ever go for it.
I have “heard” that s&s is involved in the track, but not from anyone that creditable. But that’s not what I was implying s&s have the rights to all of arrows parts and designs so they have a working relationship with maintenance and upkeep of Nessy.That and finnegan’s flyers are also s&s.
Could be completely unrelated (especially because Joe is doing all the layouts now, right?), but I'm about 90 percent sure I just saw Alan Schilke in the Richmond airport.
Even if you did, it wouldn't be impossible that he was here for other reasons than new business. Perhaps he was summoned for something related to TT, or visiting a supplier of some sort, some partner company (didn't he get his start at Arrow after working for a local structural foundation engineering firm?), or for personal reasons completely unrelated to the industry.
Anything is possible but with rmc’s being the greatest thing sense sliced bread right now, you can’t rule it out. All I have to say is the documents on here I have seen so far gave off the Busch is still in the kicking the tires phase type vibes , they may very well be taking bids on designs and costs and he was here on that or maybe they are all decided and ready to pull the tigger it’s hard to tell this far out.
I bet they’re hoping cost of lumber goes down before they commit fully to a hyper hybrid.
Do you all think the “theme” will be drachen fire related, big bad wolf related, or something else entirely?
