The Next Busch Gardens Twins?

^ I've always thought it was stupid and petty not to go with Intamin for the drop tower. Fair enough with a coaster, as they really can be hit and miss, especially with new concepts, but their drop towers are unquestionably the best available and incredibly reliable.

Stupid, childish decision.

What ever happened to that second ghazi train that was rumored to have been sent to Busch gardens Williamsburg from Tampa? Could that have anything to do with it? And Tampa needs a dark ride. BGW has 2. Well, maybe 1. They rumored to shut down Europe in the air...

^ I thought it was confirmed that Europe in the Air was definitely closed.

Hopefully anyway. It was **** ing ****.

Sure, if you dont mind losing your feet.

... If you're Six Flags and skimp on cables and don't use the correct ones so they snap you mean?

I guess I could have said:

"Sure, as long as you dont mind falling 100 feet to your death"

(Sunday, August 22, 1999) - A twelve-year-old boy was killed after he fell out of the Drop Zone Stunt Tower at Paramount's Great America theme park in Santa Clara, California. The ride, a freefall ride manufactured by Intamin AG of Switzerland, features cars which are hoisted up a 224-foot tall tower and then drop 129 feet, reaching speeds of up to 62 miles per hour. The cars are floorless, open-air cabins, and allow the riders legs to dangle beneath them throughout the ride. Electromagnetic brakes bring the cars to a gradual stop at the base of the tower.

On February 24, 2012, a 14-year-old girl died in an accident at Hopi Hari, Vinhedo, São Paulo State, Brazil. She fell from the drop tower ride "La Tour Eiffel", suffered cranial trauma and died on the way to the hospital. Initial investigations suggested the possibility of mechanical failure in the restraint latch

Anyone have a prediction for when the next coaster could be coming to williamsburg? I vote preferably 2015, but it'll probably be later.

You can have the first one as nobody knows what caused it, but the second one? The ride op used a known broken seat where it was known the restraint didn't lock.

Now, if we were discussing chute rides...

I am learning the CF way. Anytime you say something put a or a and people will accept it!

My guess is BGT will get a new coaster in 2016 and BGW in 2017. Will they be similar models...maybe? :?
