Busch Gardens Tampa Bay (BGT Discussion Thread)

That looks awesome. I can't wait to see what they do with it (and at BGW!)

[Josh Linn]

First pics of track are here, thanks to BGTguide.

And just to show some off now:

 

Wait...so this is Intamin track...and it's not red? The hell you say.

[Skycoastin Steve]

It just hit me that this is my brother's apartment complex behind the track. Maybe I should pay him a visit for some nerd photo action......

Looks like I'll be going over to Busch when I go to Orlando next year.

[CorkscrewFoley]

I totally missed out on the Man. United game today, and am more excited about the 9 seconds than the fact they beat Liverpool...I f**king love Intamin...

[PKI Jizzman]

Oh crap! I've missed a bit of what's going on haha. Wow this looks pretty cool, I will have to make it down there since I haven't been since '02.

 

This project is very interesting, and I hope this will be the new 'premire USA coaster'....looks very promising!

[Skycoastin Steve]

Looks like the 2nd clip might be released tomorrow, this is from BGT's facebook page.

 

If you thought the first clip was great, wait until you see the next one! But finding Code Word 2 is up to you... check BuschGardens2011.com tomorrow for a clue.

Yea, they're releasing the next clip every Monday, right up until the announcement in October!

[Skycoastin Steve]

^Was the first clip released last Monday? It seems like it was more recent than that, but I had a long week.

[ECZenith]

I love the color of the track, should look great on an already beautiful landscape and expected theming elements.

I see a lot of LSM Launch track peices!

[10ryansmith]

The new video is up. Password is Rush.

 

It looks to me it is the end of the return. Anyway looks great. I must go to Tampa next summer.

The second clip looks just as impressive as the first, and I can't wait to see the full ride video because this looks absolutely amazing!

[Skycoastin Steve]

This clip is definitely the end of the ride, directly after the final launch. As was the case with last week's clip, I used my wonderful MS Paint skills to show the section of the ride in this video. Orange is last week's clip, yellow is this week's.

Did anyone else get it to work? I'm unable to type it into the box...

[Capitalize]

I foresee copious amounts of airtime - and a potential top 5 steel coaster contender. Looks awesome!

[Jcoaster]

From the looks of the video, I can feel that this ride is going to be something special. Since Busch always tends to go with B&M I don't expect for Intamin to let them down.

[Yamez]

Feels very Maverickesque in terms of high speed, low to the ground airtime. I'm excited

For everyone who can't see the video on the previewwebsite, here is "Busch Gardens Tampa 2011 attraction teaser video 2"

Yeah, I'd say this thing looks way more twisty and agile than baco. Thank god..

[HEADCHEEZ]

I just saw this today! I am extremely excited for this ride!

[Lenaapple1974]

My heart did this weird flutter thing when I saw that track photo!

 

I agree! Cannot wait for elemental track! Track porn... woo hoo!

[braztaz]

At around 4 seconds in the video you can see a section of vertical track.

[Skycoastin Steve]

^I'm pretty sure that's where the track rises out of the trench on the launch in the first video.
