This new attraction definitely looks interesting to me. While the theming might plus this attraction, I definitely think as a thrill ride Verbolten will be the better indoor Kaoster due to elements like the "black-out" helix.
Busch Gardens Williamsburg's New-for-2023 Roller Coaster
BGWFans.com has exclusively obtained a bevy of information regarding a yet-to-be-announced, fully-indoor, multi-launch, family coaster currently in development for Busch Gardens Williamsburg.bgwfans.com
If this is legit...this coaster be cooky.
I don't hate the idea of the train cycling through the layout again. That's actually a pretty good use of space. It'd be nice if they put some effort into the theming and story though.Hmmm, was expecting something like Laf Track or Cobra's Curse
I suppose there is some variation from Verbolten with the motorbike (i.e. Sea Rescue) design
Here's hoping they keep the story from Darkastle and we get some thematic elements
If they kept the Darkastle theme it could be you're trying to escape the castle and Ludwig redirects you backAh, I see we got to finish 2021 with a two-for-one deal with leaked coaster plans this week.

Curse of Dark Pony Express?If they kept the Darkastle theme it could be you're trying to escape the castle and Ludwig redirects you back
I just picture him saying "leaving so soon, I think not, things are just starting to get going" or something like that
It has potential to be very unique and a fun surprise for people that don't know it's coming
Also, prediction, I see the cars themed to horses
Honestly, yes, that's exactly what I was thinking, but dark horsesCurse of Dark Pony Express?
And also not a Vekoma lol
That's right, thanksPony Express isn't a Vekoma either, it's from Zamperla.
That’s what I’m hoping they do but will they actually do it? I have a fear it’ll just be like Mummy where they’ll just have some black light paintings.Using some clever projection mapping, lighting, and projections you could make the second lap look very different than the first.

Thanks to a couple plumbing and electrical permits which blatantly state it's for a 2023 ride, it looks like DarKoaster is definitely on for next year!
Great news!
Very! I was initially contemplating a first time trip this year but pushed it back since it felt like this rumor was gonna' happen, so I'm glad I did!
*Update* So, renaming a little food stand from Snack Hutte to BarKastle is an amazing glow-up. And it really cements that DarKastle is returning since there's most likely no way they'd make references to DarKastle out of the blue like this.
