johnjniehaus Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 I was just there yesterday and saw the new footers in the drachen fire area. There's definitely some kind of rollercoaster going in back there. It would pain me to see a cheap rip off of big bad wolf as an arrow suspended coaster that utilized the terrain is worlds better than some family b&m invert that runs across a grassy field. I wish someone would bring back the arrow suspended model with the swinging gondola cars but alas we will probably never see anything like that again. I'm just curious if this new coaster is going to be marketed as BBW 2.0 and while the GP and younger guests who never rode the original might not care, I don't think anyone is replacing BBW in the hearts and minds of it's huge fanbase including many middle age and older guests.

BeeastFarmer Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 BGW is a family friendly park. I doubt they would put in a roller coaster called Big Beautiful Woman. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're cracking me up! Y'all know what I'm referencing. BBW in rollercoaster lingo is Big Bad Wolf just like "riding a woodie" is not what comes to mind for some people.

johnjniehaus Posted Saturday at 02:22 AM Share Posted Saturday at 02:22 AM Am I the only one who saw the announcement today? https://buschgardens.com/williamsburg/vote2025/?fbclid=IwY2xjawFRjx1leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHYJISROajnXE7xkoffFM4RyXJglfbm-9XnNJLXwlkWptWvcv6kVWAK8HCQ_aem_xNyJNa2smoJFXQtn5dTC4Q%2F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted Saturday at 10:31 PM Share Posted Saturday at 10:31 PM I didn't see the announcement live but I read about it from various FB friends and BGW pages I follow. That will give me at least 5 new coaster credits on my VA trip next year (2 at KD and now 3 at BGW - possibly even 4 if I make it over to the kids' area and grab the Grover coaster credit). I really wish BGW were closer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnjniehaus Posted Sunday at 12:51 PM Share Posted Sunday at 12:51 PM I still have mixed feelings about them building a BBW 2.0 but it being a B&M family invert. Sometimes it's best to leave the legacy of a beloved ride alone... If they had come out with a new swinging train system or S&S had just brought back the arrow model I would have been all for it. However, if the ride or the layout is lacking there's going to be a lot of original fans that are upset that they used the legacy of a beloved former ride to market a subpar one. For me personally I wasn't a huge fan of any of the names but Geisterwolf made the most sense to me. This ride is a ghost of one in the past while "wolf storm" and "wolf reign" made less sense to me... besides aren't DarKoaster and verboten already themed to storms? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
