Considering that the new Big Bad Wolf won't be suspended or have the drop at the Rhine River, then making really detailed theming and landscaping the holy heck out of it is the best way to go for this. I'm wondering how the park will handle the fact that this coaster is kind of hidden away and how they're going to direct the GP on where the new Big Bad Wolf is.

Insert ringing bells sound here
 
My thoughts on this based on those blueprints and what we've seen of actual construction -
Not Disney-level theming, like this cannot compare to Big Thunder or Tron or Seven Dwarves, but this is pretty Universal-level. Looks around the same level of theming as the new Mine Cart Madness to me.
Which is great, for BGW. That level of theming is exactly what we've been asking for. And for fans of immersion, this might be one of the best at any United park.

Now let’s see what kings dominion is doing for rapterras theming.
Looks like this is shaping up to be the best year ever for coaster theming in Virginia theme parks.

Of course, this is the first time that BGW and KD have ever even opened a major coaster in the same year (excluding their opening years in 1975) so we were already barreling towards some exciting firsts this year.
 
Wait, what? Have you seen the level of theming on Mine Cart Madness? I mean, this looks great for Busch, but if you're comparing theming levels, I'd put it more at Flight of the Hippogriff.
I haven't seen the whole ride, just bio's pics. But you're right FotH is a better comparison. Sorry, not much of a Uni fan so I pulled from one of the few I know
