Just found this:

It looks like it's about the new pathway from Nairobi to Edge of Africa.

EPIC find!!!
I can't really read it, but what's the building (or what ever it is) in the middle?

I'm wondering about it myself. :shrug:

I noticed this,

It says
"Approx. (I can't read this word) Point
of Intersection
Roller coaster and
Proposed Pathway"

Nice find, StarTrekGeek! I'll have to take a closer look at it later but it looks very interesting from what I've looked at.

Kraken&Manta- It says "Approx. Elevation Point of Intersection Roller Coaster and Proposed Pathway".

Interesting.....

This is by no means perfect or even really close, but some quick photoshop work to combine those two items looks kind of like this. As stated, a new path from "edge of africa" to nairobi.

Screamscape found the new coaster's layout and have a picture on their site.

Here are the original layouts we posted hours before with the help of StarTrekGeek on here, while they are online: http://bgtguide.com/bgt/project2011/bgt2011layout

Just went to the first link you posted, and got the 404 missing file message. Backing up to their plans main page, looks like the attraction is being called Zagora.

 

[BGTKing]

Looks like they have taken everything down.

The Zagora thing refers to a new building for Howl-O-Scream.

Thanks for the coaster layout, BGTKing and Surfer! :rep:

This coaster is going to be huge! After seeing the layout, I'm envisioning this as looking somewhat like Carowinds' Intimidator coaster with all of the hills after the launch. Also, am I missing something or will this coaster basically be focused on airtime hills and have no inversions? BGT has needed a coaster like that for quite some time!

 

[paintervision]

I'm thinking it's going to be more like Cedar Point's Maverick... low to the ground with a lot of quick transitions, and maybe an inversion or two.

News from Screamscape:

2011/2012 - New Attractions - Rumor - (4/16/10) A reader used a Google measurement tool to trace the new 2011 coaster layout in order to get an estimated overall track length for the new ride. They’ve come back with an estimated length of around 4,653 feet. If I’m not mistaken, this would make it the second longest coaster in the South-East US… with only Intimidator at Carowinds beating it with 5,300 feet, and just above Goliath at Six Flags over Georgia which clocks in at 4,480 feet.

That's pretty crazy. I haven't been to Busch Gardens Tampa since before Sheikra opened, but I'll definitely have to go again when they open this bad boy up.

 

[Latveria]

That's an odd looking layout

 

[tiredoldspook]

If the layout is right this thing will be HUGE... You haven't been since Shiekra,,,Sad, Sheikra is Awesome!

The last time I went, they were ALMOST done with Sheikra, so unfortunately, haven't had the chance to ride it. :<
