It's worth pointing out that currently BGW has no active height wavers with either the FAA or James City County. Assuming that we are looking at ground needing to start being moved by June to be on track for a spring 25 opening I would expect to start to see wavers filed by the end of January if not this raises all kinds of questions and doubts about the future of the project.

Did all the previous ones expire? I felt like there was an extension at one point.

The county pnes expired a long time ago and had never been updated to the new location in the last balloon test. The FAA one was extended at one point but we are now several months past the work start date on that one and I can't find anything on a a further extension.

I suspect they're gonna do something original, hopefully a little better than parking lot coaster in a field.
Don’t forget trees and rocks count as theming!


Edit: that being said do we have an rmc hyper hybrid that passes through wooded areas? Would be pretty cool!
 
Not to rain on anyone's parade but given that we have seen soil test before for both Spire and the boneyard RMC it seems likely that new testing is a hit and some other project. These test also appear confind to Festhaus Park indicating that there might possibly be a smaller footprint.
 
Though they've indicated there's no desire to do so, a New Spain hamlet with a taco shop and Montezuma's Revenge ride would be awesome

Yep, no need to retest the same places unless plans have changed, I'd believe.

This is my perception too. Each previous time there has been a new round of soil testing in Festhaus Park, a different plan has popped up—first Madrid, then Spire, and then the hyper. I think this is probably round 4 of that. Super hard to know if that's good or bad news for the scale of this project. Given how much SEAS seems to have been scaling back their investments since COVID though, that may be another tea leaf suggesting something a little smaller for 2025...
 
This aged well, lol.
It aged just fine when you consider it was in regards to the need to file soon for a new height waver of they want to be on track for 25. Soil testing is a string indicator that they are looking at doing so but they haven't yet.

^Iron Gwazi sisters hopes and dreams.
 
I just hope that BGW finally gets a launch coaster that would complete the collection.
We have forward launches, we have backward launches, how about the world's first SIDEWAYS launch?! You just turn the seats sideways like on Cobras Curse then launches away! We could finally enjoy that sensation in every direction. Or maybe each ride your seat is in a new random configuration for the launch. You'll be so excited and confused you won't even notice the lack of theming!
