Great pictures!

 

This is making me wonder how long it'll be before they announce it.

I must admit at first... I hated the colors. But the more I am seeing the colors, and the more of the coaster that is being constructed... The more I am loving the colors. Also, I am starting to think that this is going to fit in just fine in the park. At first I thought it was going to stick out like a sore thumb. However, the more it is progressing the better it looks like it is going to fit in with the park.

Teal track and orange support doesn't sound like a good combination, but in reality, this color scheme is amazing! I'm really curious of the train's color, if they are indeed going for pasta, probably yellow for the color of cheese.

The colors look okay only because it's at sunset - the darker orange looks better but I still can see it stick out like a sore thumb when the sun is at its peak.

The ride is coming along very nicely and so far it actually looks pretty cool being next to Apollo's. I was a bit skeptical about the location at first but now it doesn't looks so bad. Just wait till next year when the ride is complete and all the trees next to Apollo's lift have leaves grown in, it'll be cool to see the trains while you're in the parking lot.

^I agree with this. It'll be fun watching both rides operate as you wait for the parking-lot tram, or walk over from the Germany lot.

[DrachenfireOP]

^ One thing I always liked about BGW is that there's usually a spot where you can time seeing all the coasters at once if you're lucky. If you have insanely good luck on the train, you can see Verbolten, LNM, Alpengeist, and Griffon trains go out by the Rhine river all at once. Apollo was the exception to this rule, so it'll be cool having something near it. Also, going up the Apollo lift will give you something fun to look at too!

Looks tremendous now that it's vertical. Can't wait to see it once it is complete and theming is added. Busch done did it again!

Sweet!

That color scheme is sick!!! I'm really loving all of Busch Gardens improvements.

In addition to the Tempesto photos I also filmed footage for this video. It's a bit out of my comfort zone so any feedback/suggestions will be appreciated.

Great video! I'd love to see more videos like this from you when the park opens next season!

[coasterfreak101]

Still think it's an odd choice for a Busch park, but after riding S:UF this past summer I can vouch for these things being great rides. Glad to have one closer to home!

Great video, I am a big fan of your photos. Also love that Sunny Crimea tune, not too many drum'n'bass fans round these parts.

This ride definitely makes a statement on the skyline. Excellent photos!

[cfc]

It's definitely adding an extra element to Festa Italia, which hasn't received a new ride in years.

[chadster]

Guys, there is no ride going in at BGW, it's just a figment of your imagination along with some damn good photoshopping skills!

I didn't notice this when I posted the pictures Friday but if you look closely you can see some track has been installed on the back (launch) side.

Seeing that it fits in a small footprint, I hope Busch does not bring one to Tampa and replace Scorpion with it. I'm sure it would fit in that spot.

[BlahBlahson]

^Scorpion just added a quick queue line/replaced half of it's wooden walkway to the station/repainted some things over it's refurb last month, and Schwarzkopf lift-hill loopers are basically 95 percent surviving globally, so signs point to no worries on the Scorpion front. Egypt and the old Critter Castaway site are more likely based on recent rumors and permits.

^Scorpion just added a quick queue line

 

Really? That's the best news I've heard all day. I was a little disappointed when this ride didn't offer quick queue last year.

It"s getting bigger.

^That's what she said!

 

Buah hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahha!

 

It never get old!
