What's next for Busch Gardens Tampa??

If it isn't that, just be prepared to be disappointed..

Point taken

 

[MakoMania]

I don't understand the Sky Rocket hate. Next to none of the guests are going to realise that it's a clone, and even if they do, most people don't care.

They are fantastic, smooth rides that pack a punch. Triple launch including one backwards, vertical incline, ejector airtime, 150ft tall hangtime inversion, twisted vertical drop & a non inverting loop! What's not to love?

The only negative that I see is throughput, but if they went with a double loading station then that would help on busier days.

The reason I don't like skyrockets is because they feel gimmicky. All it does is slingshot you back and forth, there's no sense of suspense or anticipation during the ride experience, and the whole thing lasts less than a minute. It basically leaves you with a feeling of "That's it?"

Less than a minute? That would seem like a big letdown after Cheetah Hunt.

I'm surprised that no one posted about this yet....

Figuring out all these clues had been hard work. I'm Busched.

Anyone know what time the announcement is today?
Also “new beginnings come from old traditions” sounds a little RMC-ish.

They said today at 1:35 PM, and it will be live on Facebook

That’s when I’m in school. In a class I’m not allowed to use my phone in. Crap

Good point, hadn't thought of that yet. So is the beer thing a red herring, or is there an announcement regarding beer as well?

Since the area started as a brewery it sounds like another beer hint.

Beer: the ride. World's first VR trip through the entire brewing process, as you will be mashed, boiled and bottled

I'm thinking the Hospitality House may be tied into the project.

Perhaps a rebuild?

Mentally preparing for Sky Rocket II

 

[sonoma15]

Someone brought up the idea on r/rollercoasters of a skyrocket starting inside of a brewery, I think that would be pretty cool.

 

[Magic-Man]

Announcement takes place in a half-hour. I'm hoping for a ride announcement, but it's probably for a new beer or festival.

EDIT: 15 minutes.

 

[s8film40]

Ok, going off the photos of the beer and drink coasters with "coasters" on them I'm going to guess it's a new after hours "beer & coaster" event. All you can drink beer and all the coasters with short waits.

Beer fest page is live on their website. Seems like that is the gist of it.
