New BGT Coaster

[slosprint]

You may have heard rumors of BGT getting a new coaster for 2011. Well the layout has surfaced Sorry If this is old news.


The layout of the ride.

What kind of coaster is it?

Unless my sense of scale is way off, that looks a hell of a lot more massive than any previous coaster, of any type. The layout is too twisty for a B&M hyper, and I think it's too big for a reasonable woodie. That means one of two things: this will be freaking EPIC, or it's a hoax/fake.
I personally am leaning towards the latter, because it seems like such a mix of "breeds", if you will, to be realistic.

I doubt it's too twisty for a hyper. A hyper is most likely what they're going to put in and maybe B&M will do this. Just think... an original B&M hyper... omz

Sure it'd be incredible, but as far as I can tell, there aren't ANY places for a full, straight airtime hill until the return track (or at least what I see as the return track), and at that point, B&M hypers are twisty-ish anyway. I can't visualize a reasonable layout, please help me out if you can.

It looks like there is a pre-lift; so, it may be just an awesome GG.

This is off of scream scape:

Yeh, supposed to be Intamin, and feature multiple launches. So the layout makes a lot of sense if thats the case.

I see a Furious Baco esc ride here, hopefully it will be only a lot smoother.

But it's most likely a hoax, considering they've got the Zierer Force Coaster.

[shocked][:O]

If...that layout...is...true...we will have the most EPIC coaster EVER!

I'm really about to laugh hysterically now.

AAAAHH!!

Yeah, I heard a massive version of Stormrunner with two launches. I bet they will be LSM so they aren't too loud for the animals. There is a huge section between the station and first launch. I am curious as to what will go there. Sorta looks like a huge version of Furious Baco.

Wingracer/rider/whatever is at Port Adventura?

[slosprint]

You can estimate the size of it by just looking at Gwazi to the left. Yeah, this thing is huge.

I see what looks like a number of corkscrews. Could be a B&M as it's BG favoured manufacturer, but possibly a new type of coaster as there are rumours in that direction for such a prototype in europe next year.

... A launching B&M?

EDIT: Hmmm, this could be the rumored new model from B&M that was mentioned on Scream Scape.

[slosprint]

I still bet Intamin. $5 anyone?

The new B&M prototype is going to Italy. This is going to be an Intimin, and like others have stated, a-la Storm Runner x2.

rcking04, we want construction updates.

As soon as anything becomes further speculated/rumors begin becoming more occurent, I will start heading out to Busch Gardens more often for pictures. Apparently the ride will be placed somewhere in the vicinity of Gwazi, Egypt, and Edge of Africa near Rhino Rally. Luckily the Skyride may provide some good bird-eye views of possible construction.

Yes, that's been covered already in this topic, not to mention the markers.

This can't be real, but I hope it is!

Man,I'm excited,this looks awesome.

i think this will be a intamin launched coaster because it's a bit similar to the new F1 coaster in dubai ferrari world.

So are there some news?

Here are some pictures that rcking04 just sent me. He's just leaving BGT at the moment and you can see some clearing, building and cementing going on. He also says "rhino rally stopped the river part."
