Is that Freedom Rock??

 

[anihilnation]

So, still no chatter as to whether or not is next? Will we get anything major next year?

2019 is likely to be the big year

60th anniversary

Knott's Booomerang is being installed next year in a re-themed Bird Gardens by expanding Walkabout Way into a fully themed Australia area.
(I hope everyone knows this is a joke...lol)

Serious? BGT going second-hand? That being said, boomerang coasters are nice, first big coaster I ever did was a boomerang.

I really hope we get a major airtime filled coaster for 2019, be it an RMC, a B&M or Intamin hyper/giga.

NEED AIRTIME!

My Spidey senses are tingling and the chances of BGT getting Florida's first Giga are now stronger than ever . Cross your fingers and toes, boys and girls.

Anyone recognize this? If not, it may be a future attraction? It's form a live stream SW did a little a while with Brian Morrow from inside Deep Blue Creative's studio.

This is also a replacement for Kinetix and firework finale :thumbsdown:. Also for summer nights the park will be closing at 11 instead of 12 this year

Bottom of Picture is the Cobras Curse entrance I believe with the rides Elevator lift in the background. As for the above, I definitely feel that is something new......possibly for BGT but we can't really tell.

That confirms what I saw as well then. I believe the top image is simply a layout of the new area around Cobra's Curse.

The top picture sure looks a lot like the area Gwazi is in.

That's on Fri & Sat nights. Sun-Thurs at 9.
I posted the info for Summer nights in it's own thread:

Any guesses as to when BGT will make a move on Gwazi or Title wave, maybe after the summer time is over well see something happen for a 2019 project as it'll be the parks 60th anniversary?

I have a feeling Tidal Wave will sit there for a while, but I would hope that Gwazi would start seeing demolition after HOS possibly

Is a giga really a great choice for a year round park? A ride this tall alienates a portion of guests.

A Giga is a great addition to any park that can sustain attendance. It would greatly help attendance if nothing else with locals and enthusiasts alike. While not a year-round park (yet) Fury 325 has done wonders for Carowinds. They don't seem to have a problem filling seats They also only get about half the yearly attendance that BGT does. I think it would work just fine.
