Phoenix Rising won't swing, it was misleading wording from the marketing

@Zachary and bgwfans contributors are goats of amusement reporting, i have optimism for this project
Allow me to introduce Der Holzfäller:
Busch Gardens Williamsburg's New-for-2025 Roller Coaster Leaks – BGWFans
New leaked documentation reveals Busch Gardens Williamsburg's plans for a new family inverted coaster slated for a 2025 debut in Festhaus Parkbgwfans.com
Loved the article. FOR REAL THOUGH… If this project happens, then the curse has lifted off the Drachen Fire/Festhaus Park plot of land.
I actually hope the saga does not end though, and this location gets another proposed project lol (although fingers crossed the curse has been lifted).
Thanks for the fantastic article. My wife kept looking at me with confusion as I was glued to my phone to read it during the kids dinner and bath time routine.
I loved BBW as much as everyone else, but can’t agree more that even if this is a faithful, modern recreation it misses the mark on the location.

Point taken. Still don't have the full context you intend. Could work for a manufacturer that doesn't care to do package deals, could be a ride operator. I'm not somebody you can wear down with broad points. I am what I am for a reason.
This is what I see happening because it's the easiest name for the public to instantly recognize.
Small Mid Wolf or Big Bad Rising are my guesses
I hope they don't clear cut the trees on Boneyard side a la Invader, which still looks awful. I'd really like to see the wooded feeling maintained even though it's more work.
I VERY MUCH hope they do not. I honestly believe that using the identical name for a follow-up attraction is sorta like desecrating the legacy of the original. When people go searching for information about the original, they'll only see stuff about the new one. When people talk about the original, people will assume they're talking about the replacement. I feel like it actually, in effect, acts to erase the original. I hated it when Kings Island did it to The Bat and I'd despise it if BGW did it to The Wolf.
No, I would have much preferred that World's of Fun named it something to reference or play off of Zambezi Zinger rather than just copying and pasting the name.
Have fun at Disney World!
If they can somehow get these trains to swing, I take back 100% back any negative thing I’ve said about this attraction. Everything else really does look nice. A suspended coaster with on board audio and on ride theming? Heck yeah!
If the trains don’t swing I genuinely feel like the ball was dropped here. If they swing, I get it 1000%.

This was a fantastic and well-written article. It was a great read even if what I was reading wasn't exactly what I wanted personally. I appreciate it as always! Hopefully this is successful for BGW and the next one will be an immense record breaker.
It's interesting, the idea of theming a children's coaster around nostalgia to ride that was defunct before its target audience was born.
