What's next for Busch Gardens Tampa??

[Emmanuel Solanke]

Busch Gardens has started the teasing for Wednesdays announcement

 

[Magic-Man]

Is there any chance that this isn’t a Skyrocket II?

 

[Brian G.]

We will be there covering the announcement.

It most likely is the SR2, I kinda hope they announce more stuff with that announcement, that would be neat.

 

[P@n!K_Sw1tC#]

Yawn. #bgtdeservesbetter

 

[SoulPride]

The huge emphasis on the tiger theming. Tiger Skyrocket II will be interesting

 

[SWBGFan]

My hopes for this Skyrocket II:
- Awesome temple themed station
- A really awesome entry sign, would be really cool if they had some flames going ala the Jurassic Park sign at IOA
- Ride makes full circuit twice
- Loading design like they have at Bosque Magico's Zombie Ride
- Three cars in the train
- No "comfort vest"
- Maybe Tiger stripes painted on the bottom rail, I feel like coaster tracks are never really taken advantage of in terms of design

If 3 of these things come true I will be a happy camper.

At this point, I am guessing it'll be something like Bier Fest Electric Boogaloo. :tease:

We here at Busch Gardens Tampa are proud to announce....Bier Fest 2: Bier Fest Harder coming November 2018

My hopes for this Skyrocket II:

Spoiler Alert:

- Awesome temple themed station

It's nothing special, just like the rest of their ride stations.

- A really awesome entry sign, would be really cool if they had some flames going ala the Jurassic Park sign at IOA

There will be a cool ID sign for this ride but that's about it.

- Ride makes full circuit twice

Lol not gonna happen.

- Loading design like they have at Bosque Magico's Zombie Ride

Permits show singular load like Electric Eel and Tempesto.

- Three cars in the train

Yes.

- No "comfort vest"

No - this will have comfort collars.

- Maybe Tiger stripes painted on the bottom rail, I feel like coaster tracks are never really taken advantage of in terms of design

Orange Track/Black Supports.

If 3 of these things come true I will be a happy camper.

You win three cars on the train... /yay

 

[MakoMania]

Orange track and black supports sounds great!

 

[SWBGFan]

Hence why I said hope. I don't expect much more than Electric Eel or Tempesto level themeing.

 

[Kumba's Roar]

I really hope it doesn't have orange supports or track. We have too many orange/red coasters. Sheikra, Scorpion, Sand Serpent, Kumba and Cobra's Curse all incorporate the red/orange coloring.

I mean, what other colors could they use to represent tiger theming?

 

[AlexanderMBush]

The trains sporting Black and White colors with the track/supportsbeing more of a brown-orange/dark grey color would be nice..

 

[Magic-Man]

Just hurry up, build this, and then get started on my giga coaster. That’s all I ask.

Patience, from the looks of it, Williamsburg is probably going to get it first.

 

[Emmanuel Solanke]

Also, a little Update before tomorrow Behind The Thrills | Howl O Scream and 2019 Project updates from Busch Gardens Tampa

 

[Magic-Man]

Patience, from the looks of it, Williamsburg is probably going to get it first.

I’m thinking we get it in 2021/22. They need something to keep locals from going east to Orlando.
