not all the landscaping was done when Apollo's Chariot opened, but they opened it anyways. I don't think that it would be terribly out of line to think that they could open it late April. That could give them enough time to finish landscaping..... if they did it at a normal and consistent pace. Then it could be done.

I don't know if any of you know this but, don't bother going to BGE for Griffon until the 25th of May. kinda disappointed it is so ready to open.... look at it... it screams "HEY I'M READY FOR PEOPLE NOW!" sad day for all of us wanting to go on Griffon. I know that most of us were expecting the worse when it came to the date of public opening (it's not as bad as I thought it would be), but it's still sad to hear

do you mean like ride with our stuff, or just make a point to the Opps/Staff that "we want to take our bags on rides if we need to!"

yeah this rule is crap though, theoretically it should work, but it won't. People are still gonna bring their bags, I know I will. Im not paying $5 for water, so Im gonna bring in my own, and Im not gonna keep my camera in my pocket...... Im gonna do what I always did and walk across to the exit put them in a semi-secure spot. Honestly people shouldn't be snatching bags, that's just stupid. Im a long-time customer of the park, and it might change if this rule becomes an inconvenience. Im not paying to use a locker, and the employees shouldn't have to worry about people's crap. Like I said if this rule becomes an inconvenience im gonna tell Busch Gardens to kiss my

I belive they are just special for the coaster.... I think Universal just wanted it to look a bit different from the normal B&M trains. I could be wrong..... but Im not sure B&M has ever not used their own trains..... (yeah great grammar, I know)

i dunno if anybody else has thought of this , but now she won't have to steal a random kid to ride on the kiddie rides!

awwwwww soooo cute! Im so happy for you guys! ^^, much happiness and love for you guys!

I am so happy that I get to ride it this summer! horray for winning with the lotto scratchers!

NO WAY! arrow had original stuff, the only original things Vekoma did was Ninja at SFOG, and that other in in france, they are all with the boomerang types, and they hurt way more than Arrow.

AWWWWWWWW I know your pain

no those aren't, they were dismatled, and scrapped, however, I do agree that she should get some like Drachen Fire's trains. and BTW, there were three trains, ok?

it's true you never forget your first inversion....... *cough* the wrap-around corkscrew on Drachen Fire.......... *cough* why do ya think it's my profile name? The analogy of "your first car" is a good one for this (points out obviouse) coaster cars Im waiting for Arrow S&S to start making normal coasters again

but there are not, there are maybe 20 left! and Arrow Dynamics was a pioneering company. and even if that wasn't the case, you would have to admit that any coaster getting destroyed is sad

why are Arrow's getting torn down , am I the only one that doesn't get any roughness on them or something? I wonder if those trains really are getting sent to the Loch Ness Monster......... It would be very ill-logical , Kinda like them using prototype trains on Drachen Fire. Anyways, Im very sad that Python is going away , however Im hoping maybe something better will go in there. And the congo area realy does need to be redone, almost as badly as PKD's whole park BYE PYTHON!!!!!! IM GONNA MISS YOU!!!!!!!!

they didn't move anything right, b/c to me it looks like where Magnum was........

this will NOT be a SheiKra clone ...... (taken from the Busch Gardens website)..... Griffon will be the tallest dive coaster in the world; the first floorless dive coaster, and the first to incorporate two Immelmann loops (an inverse diving loop named for a WWI German fighter pilot), a second 130-foot dive and a water feature with spectacular viewing platforms where ride watchers can share in the thrills. Each floorless coaster car will consist of three, 10-person wide rows. Griffon offers over-the-edge excitement on more than half a mile of steel track and will become the centerpiece of Busch Gardens’ Europe’s French section. Currently under construction, this diving, driving force in roller coaster engineering will debut at Busch Gardens late spring 2007. ......Any questions?

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! that's a pretty good one, though that would be amusing and pretty ironic

oh I know it was thats why Im saying "re-construct", I made a blue-print that is simmilar in almost every way, I just added some things, even made a new type of inversion. Now Im just waiting for either B&M, or S&S/ Arrow, to contact me...... Anyways, like I said in my previous post, I hope that the new coaster is a flyer we need one on this coast, and in VA, cause we really only have Busch Gardens. Kings Dominion is sooooooo dirty, if they we cleaner and not so crowded and had some trees (shade is good), then I would go there, cause they have Volcano! Speaking of which does anyone know about the story that it is shut-down untill futher notice, for some reson the ride just stopped on the track!

I HOPE ITS A B&M FLYER, NO MORE 4-D B.S. PLEASE!!!!!!! but the sky lift thingy might get in the way, and they don't have that much room to work with . The name is ok i guess, but lets hope they put in one freaking sweet coaster. Im gonna try to look for as much info and construction updates as posible before my "fun-pass" runs out. AND I HOPE TO GOD DRACHEN FIRE GETS RE-CONSTRUCTED AND PUT BACK!

what the hell!?!?!? this might be good, I dunno, maybe the Paramount parks will get better themeing? i dunno, I don't think it was a wise move.....

I somewhat agree, because that last Raven turn..... even Arrow should be ashamed, and Vekoma would be ashamed , it is very intense , I don't know about you guys, but I don't like having a "white-out" and dying, that wouldn't be much fun......... but, anyways, the rest of X isn't so bad for being a prototype, it was made and runs very well, unlike all the other Arrow prototypes

DUDE!!!!!! WTF!?!?!? you don't feel like not riding X, you love it *hypnotises you* you want to ride X, you want to ride X................... Just kidding, but how did you resist it's powers?

OMFG!!!!! I don't care if it is similar to X. X is awesome, but I thought it was never gonna happen b/c, I thought that when Arrow Dyniamics went under they were just gonna go those stupid S&S launch rides......... Still this is awesome one more multi-demesnional roller coaster, eat that Magic Mountian, you're not the only one now!........Now if they could put one in Virginia?

I have a real on-ride video, the original track, of Drachen Fire the resoultion isn't so hot, but still, It's DRACHEN FIRE!!!!!! if you would like a copy, just e-mail me
