Every coaster station (if you don't count the imo non-stations of the portable rides) ever built at BGW is now in use for the first time since the closure of DF.

Isint it gonna storm all day? If it doesn't open today at all then Id bet next to 0 in the rain. Today is georgous. Im going today just to go and hope they open it
Clint Novak dropped a side by side showing how similarly the element flow is and honestly I’m surprised at how similarly they flow.

I really miss that first turn into the woods. You just immediately plunged deep into what felt like untamed wilderness.
BGW has never given that space the chance to even come close to looking like that again with Verbolten. Hopefully as the shrubbery around BBW2 grows, they’ll let it get a little more wild.

I haven’t looked at all to know but I wonder if there’s any legal reasons as to why they keep it cleaner.
Rode with my kid on Sunday, pleasant ride, nicely themed, seems like it'll be an extremely good family ride.
However, even my 8 year old had issues with the restraints.

I'll take the smoothness of the new ride any day after seeing that rose glasses instagram video. Mind you....old bbw with that fiberglass tub removed and only a lap bar would be pretty sweet lol....or at least a more modern shoulder restraint.
The BEST part of that instagram clip is seeing the the absolute canopy of trees in that short segment out of the station before the first lift. That is top tier right there. BBW2 should be pretty nice in 10 years in that regard hopefully.

Seeing the side-by-side comparison only drives home how they nailed the theming this time around (even if the ride experience outside of the theming doesn’t compare). Once it’s grown in it’ll complete the look.

This was done with Vampire at Chessington World of Adventures. Maybe it can be done better, and I never rode the Arrow trains on Vampire, but I'll take the arrow tubs anyway over the Vekoma trains.

I personally always liked the Arrow tubs, there was a coziness to them. Was just a different experience than it would have been with open/exposed trains and I liked that.
I rode on the train the last time I was there and saw the coaster but I was totally oblivious to the fact that the train passes through the ride
Neat. Waaaay more space vs the baskets now. Hopefully they paint them that blue

The husband and I got out to the park today for member exclusive ride time. We decided to rope drop BBW. What a big mistake!!! Ride time was supposed to begin at 11am. We got to the ride as soon as the park opened and it was having issues. We stayed at the ride until it opened, which wasn’t until 1pm.
While we were disappointed that we waited 2 hours for the ride to open, it is an amazing ride. The theming is beautiful, awesome, and spectacular!!! It is really next level compared to the last couple of rides added.
The ride itself is fun. It is perfect for a family / smaller kid coaster. It is very smooth (we rode the front and back), and has a lot of scenery throughout the ride. It is not very intense so a lot of enthusiasts may not like it. We like the more intense coasters, but this is perfect for the demographic it was designed for.
We really enjoyed how immersive it is, the Bavarian village it goes through, the Oktoberfest table and beer glasses at the end, the smoothness, and we even found the seats and restraints comfortable. It is a great coaster added to BGW’s line up!!!

Yea I got 10 rides in today and just loved it. I wouldnt know what to call it besudes its just fun and a damn good time. It pulls decent forces near the village area. I love the openess of the seats. Deffiently blows away invadr, darkoaster, lochness, tempesto and verbolten for me at Busch. I find it more fun than Rapterra too. Fight me
