Exciting stuff! What’s the current rumor for this coaster?

It’s a clone of the Skyrocket II models currently found at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, and SeaWorld San Diego.

Unsure if it's joining the cast of current rides down for maintenance, but the Serengeti Express is now listed as Closed until TBD on the website.

Geez BGT is a mess right now!

It's normally closed for HOS, but open during the day...This appears to be a cost cutting measure

I would be much less likely to visit if I cannot count on major rides being open.

Looks...interesting. Not what I would've preferred going into the park, looks like something from Pantopia tbh.

It's because of the fire at BGW, not a cost cutting measure

^Definitely, it closed immediately after the train fire at BGW.

Behind the Thrills are speculating that BGT may add another large rollercoaster within the next 3 years:

^That was posted on the last page. However the additional rumor wasn't discussed.

Yeah, that last coaster suggestion is horrible.

 

[cwgator]

^I would agree there. That would take it over too many other attractions and look cluttered when unnecessary. Save the Gwazi area for a nice flat expansion and another coaster. They could easily build a hyper or giga (station/ride entrance) starting in the area left over from TTW that's not being used for 2019 and run it back to the retention ponds and back. I've been saying this for years.

Something caused it to just stop on the brake run above the station, and after about 20 mins of trying to get it going, they came up and got us off it.

Was it an abrupt stop?

Yeah, and the remaining bkocks were clear. Minus the one re-entering the station. The lift had shut off as well
