Rumor Project 2027: 150+ Foot Tall B&M Coaster?
- Thread starter MaxxForceFan
- Start date
I don't want to get anyone's hopes up too much, but whatever this thing is, it may be pretty big—like "over the max blanket-allowed height for the park's unique zoning district of 150 feet"-big. Check this out from October of last year:

If Lagoon is getting a B&M soon, that's one strike to the theory that B&M closed Clermont due to low-or-zero upcoming North American projects.
Maybe a smaller Invert or surf coaster? Either could be a good fit for this park and there aren't many in the region.
My guess is some kind of family coaster or maybe a mini dive? Yeah Cannibal is right there but they would provide drastically different experiences
B&M is still a weird manufacturer to go to for family coasters? The contracts they’ve gotten have mostly been from conglomerates who want their hardware, like United Parks, Merlin, and OCT. Lagoon would have ordered B&M for a company exclusive, aka a hyper, dive, or wing.
I don’t know if the Jet Star plot is related to this at all, might even be a different project to be honest. Lagoon filed for that height clearance in October while also claiming that they made the decision that month to remove it. B&M’s aren’t just projects that you can pull out of your butt without significant planning. Either someone is lying or the 2027 project is unrelated to the B&M project.
Speaking of the former, crews have actively torn up the Jet Star concrete in recent days;

Someone also mentioned that this could be new B&M trains for Colossus, like they did for Riddler Mindbender.
Worth noting, country of origin stated as Belgium.
Edit - just noticed it says Roller Roaster LOL

The trains for Riddler Mindbender were made by Valente SAS, based in France, so yes.
This could end up being one of the most interesting projects of 2027—the very first non-Clermont-manufactured B&M. Fingers crossed this will be a turning point.
150+ feet really leaves the options quite open as per what model this could be. Could see almost any of the options fitting, honestly.

I hope it's an invert. I feel like the model is dying but it's missing from their lineup
Imagine telling someone 10 years ago that the only B&M coaster opening in North America is at Lagoon.
