The only reason *Ahem* that I was rude was because people were piling the same crap about Gwazi that had been reiterated and regurgitated many times. Am I on the board? Certainly not. But I'm more a factual analytical person, and by perceiving the obvious, Gwazi is indeed done for. You want insight on deteriorating? Look at the Tiger side with the rusty chain and missing parts.It's ruined. You can't get more "deteriorating" than that. And by my analytical insightful speculation, Gwazi most likely will never reestablish it's former glory as the dueling woodie as we knew it as. Topper Track or Iron Horse would only be a cover-up, until the wooden structure finally gives in. Even though the ideas are okay, Trust me; based on statistics and BGT trends, Gwazi is going into the ground or getting sent elsewhere. (I do apologize if I've offended anybody)

Any word on BGW's 2015 coaster? Or was that a hoax?

Well I'm glad someone has sense. Anyway, when Gwazi leaves for good, do you think we'll see a closing date on one of the support beams like Python?

Apparently you all ignored me. There is absolutely no way BGT will dish out that much money to fund a deteriorating coaster. I like the ideas, but let's get real here.

Anyway, I'm not entirely sure what to expect for 2015/2016, but I'm sure BGT is way ahead of us and has it all planned. One thing for sure is that they will probably never go with Intamin after Falcons Fury or Cheetah Hunt's malfunctions.

All I can say is that we're not going to see Topper Track for Gwazi. Anyway, you all are saying 2016 and 2018 for years of new coasters?

Actually, Gwazi gets a 2 year grace period because FF didn't open on time, so it probably won't leave until Late 2016/Early 2017. Think about it guys, this new coaster is not related to Gwazi removal. We could be seeing two new coasters within the next 3 years. 2015/2016- Gigacoaster? 2016/2017- Gwazi removal/New Coaster

Well the rumors have resurfaced, and from what I've gathered from multiple sources, a 2015/2016 coaster has been approved, but the name, location, and type are yet to be determined. Also, the old Critter Castaways theater will be demolished by the end of this year, so that may be a hint. I have thought of different locations though. 1. Bird Gardens 2. Jungala reservoir 3. Egypt 4. Nairobi (RR replacement?) But the first thing to consider is what exactly will this coaster be? I'm assuming the long rumored gigacoaster, but maybe we'll see a new type of coaster come to BGT. Thoughts?

I'm hearing Labor Day for when Falcon's Fury is supposed to open. Don't quote me on that though.

Now I'm hearing June 28 for a Falcon's Fury opening date. Hopefully this isn't true.

Has anyone been to the park recently? I would love to hear some updates!

The rumor mill says sometime in May. A person from the call center @ SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment said anytime this month, so I'll be waiting.

Well rumors have surfaced about a hyper called Orca. I would love for it to be true!

Has anyone heard of the new hypercoaster rumor that is supposed to come to SWO in 2015/2016?

1) For Quick Queue, I don't think there is any discounts unless you buy online. (Check online though) For animal encounters, I think there is a discount if you make a reservation online. (Watch out for the online service fee :/) 2) If you want to buy an annual pass the day of visiting, it's better to do it online. You avoid the normal ticket lines and go to the EZpay area to redeem your pass. If you don't show them proof of purchase (EZpay ticket) you will be asked to pay to park. If you want it in advance, buy it online and show them at the parking gate and you won't have to pay. If you want a normal ticket, my suggestion would be to but it online for a discount, but you would still have to pay to park if you buy a normal ticket. The lines for normal tickets and annual passes aren't too bad if you go in the morning. 3) It depends on weather, holidays, and temperature. If its a stormy or rainy day, nobody really shows up. It just all depends, you can't predict it, but you can take a guess. On Saturdays, the park is usually crowded, but not always. 4) Yes! Go to adventure Island, it's fun for kids and adults! The food there is delicious and the park there is just beautiful (in my opinion.) I'm actually going to Busch Gardens today, so I'll give a report later on the park rumors. Happy visiting! -Jonathan15

I think you could make a new land out of bird gardens. Imagine the possibilities.... :O Also, RR could be easily replaced with a dark ride or Splash Battle; along with Tidal Wave getting a replacement.... Also, does anyone know what happened to the gigacoaster and Gwazi removal rumors?

Lol, Matt. Anyway, for SWO, I'm still thinking they'll add a good-sized hypercoaster to bring more guests in. I think it should be a B&M, but we'll see what SWO has in store. Thoughts?

Oh great -_- Not more drama! It shouldn't last long though, 'cause BGT is awesome like that and didn't do anything wrong.

So I finally heard the good news! Blackfish didn't get the nomination! HOORAY! At least some people have their senses left.... It's really sad though that SeaWorld had to deal with sh*t activists, books, documentaries, protests, and PETA all at once. *Sigh* Some people will never learn though...... but who cares now, because Blackfish was a failure!!! PARTY AT MY HOUSE!!! (jk)

Sorry to be a party pooper, but has anyone else heard rumors of a hypercoaster for SWO? SeaWorld just needs a new coaster..... They could make some big bucks off of a new ride after the One Ocean renovation.

According to my sources, February is when testing will begin. Also, does anyone have updates on hypercoaster/gigacoaster project? That one guy working the dippin dots stand says the project is still in the works. Looks like the "rumor mill" is now useless

What do you mean?

Hello, everybody! I love SWO and would hope that a launch comes to SWO in 2016. -Jon
