Thanks for posting that, Matpez! :rep:
A member over at ThemeParkReview has posted a photo update from today. There are 2 new topiaries, a giraffe and a kangaroo. Here is the update: http://themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=882688&sid=4abfb51bc769d356b83043724a96ed12#p882688
Interesting update. I guess the cheetah may not be the theme of this coaster after all. However, I can't picture it themed after a kangaroo or a giraffe.
Awesome pics jjune4991!!! Those topiary look interesting. I am sure they mean they are attached to the several projects going on.
More than that... at the end of the day, there were a couple of dumpsters near those bulldozers and a ton of railroad construction materials out on the North Veldt near where they store trains at night.
By the sound of it, they may be ready to begin construction. I'd assume with the Railroad down for refurbishment starting today, they may begin work there, especially with bulldozers and dumpsters already in the area.
This layout is very weird :/
From what I've heard, Wing Riders are pretty rough. However, there is only one currently in the world and it is new to the coaster universe so maybe the kinks can be fixed for this new coaster.
It seems like it could fit very well in my opinion. The ride theme even looks somewhat similar to this 2011 coaster. If they could manage to successfully use the Wing Rider coaster, this could turn out very well. They seem like they can keep a decent capacity going for the ride.
The one wing rider in the world has a capacity of 1400 PPH
According to RCDB, it has a capacity of 1500 people per hour, which is the same as Sheikra. Even then, Busch Gardens may be able to improve the capacity depending on the design.
So is this coaster definatly happening i love busch gardens and will be going this year and next august
