Good thing that there's going to be some theming in the last half of the ride to make it a complete package. I could only imagine how stunning the new BBW is going to be once landscaping comes in.

Really impressed with the amount of theming going into this project. I think the lackluster aesthetic of Pantheon made the park rethink some things. The effort given to Loch Ness is totally commendable. I’m still curious about the development of this section of the park. I’d like Zach to comment on the possibility or feasibility for another ride to be in the area. I still wonder about the flow of foot traffic to the ride. Pretty long haul for one ride that is a dead end. I’m still hoping for a Black Forest expansion.
So uhh, can we get Pantheon theming now then? Just basic aesthetic upgrades won't cost the park anything major.
Rumored to be coming soon. '26-'27
“We finally finished the ride 5 years after a 2 year delayed opening.”
Mine of the stakes around the drop off the second lift.
You all better damn reward the park with rides, praise, and merch buys.
The only thing I wish they had done -- and this is just pure personal preference, not a criticism -- is to have added a little water feature somewhere around the drop after the second lift. Even just a small pond and a rocky stream would've been a cool homage to both the original drop over the Rhine and the waterfall by the final brake run. They could even have added misters like when there used to be fog machines over the water on that last turn back in the day.
To be clear, I am SO thrilled with everything we're seeing. This is like a dream BGW project. Just a random thought of something that would be cool to see them add in my "perfect world."

Although I find it a little disappointing that the trains won't swing, I do appreciate how hard they banked some of those turns. I feel like it was probably a conscious choice to try and make up a bit for the lack of actual swinging and I'm hoping those turns are going to feel as wild as they look!
Possiblity of the water fountain from the POV vid right?
Technically Apollos Chariot is taller with a drop height of 210'.

I do wish we got another new "big thrill" coaster like a giga but honestly I'm happy with this too. Does anyone (@Zachary?) know how many true expansion plots we have left that a tall coaster could go in? Preferably without replacing anything? I can really only think of one - the VIP parking lot
Wonder if there's enough usable space for a honkin' RmC ground up build if you deforest the area between Germany and the ravine stairs/boat ride.
No deforesting anywhere!
Didn't they just cut down a bunch of trees over the railroad for BBW2?
Any rides are going to cause a few trees to fall.
"Yeah, take a look at the original Drachen Fire site plan if you want to see how much things can change from planning to execution."
Does a site plan exist somewhere for the original Big Bad Wolf? I would really like to see one, I would also like to see one for Loch Ness Monster as well.
Was one ever posted for either rides before? Those drawings are awesome to look at.

I’m not @Zachary but I can help with this one. You are correct with the Ireland/VIP lot plot, but BGW fortunately has a ton of virgin land to play with. The land across from the Rhine river from Festa is massive and is definitely prime for expansion. The use of this land is even more likely if the fabled Hotel that PRKS said they want at every property by 2030 ends up going in this area. It requires a bridge being build to the area, but it truly is the last massive piece of usable land that BGW owns. A project Madrid type attraction could theoretically be in that spot too, starting in Festa and using the land on the other side of the river for the meat of the ride. Tons of options.

I am REALLY liking how they seem to be bumping up the "intensity" of this ride simply through close-calls with the theming. I think this will ultimately pay off big with the folks who remember the intensity level of the original BBW
Those turn and side to side transitions are going to be crazy on this one! I am hoping for the best with the new BBW, especially when Pheonix Rising at BGT didn't exactly wow everyone when it opened. Hopefully the kinks that made PR a very meh ride will be fixed and ironed out with BBW: TWR.
