BeemerBoy Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 Well, since this is my first post in here, I thought I'd venture from the norm and present some interesting food for thought. Although BGW's plans for '07 look distinctly like another dive machine given all the current information, what are the chances that we'd ever see Drachen Fire resurrected? Okay, I'm obviously not talking about the actual mess of steel that used to stand in the park. I'm saying, what are the chances that B&M would ever be "re-hired" to bring the beast back from the dead? From everything that I've ever seen, read, or heard about the fabled coaster, it appeared to have one thing going for it...a really unique layout that would've been great had it gone as originally planned. For the coaster historians out there, correct me if I'm mistaken, but was it not originally B&M's design that they walked away from, citing not enough experience to continue the project correctly? I do know that Arrow finished it, and was probably undeservedly panned because the two companies styles didn't mesh well. So with all that said, and B&M obviously having the needed experience under their belt by now, does anyone think we'll ever see Drachen Fire reincarnated somewhere in the world? I wish I could've ridden it at least once.
Wes Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 Hi Beemerboy, and welcome to TPR! We already have a quite large Drachen Fire thread going, feel free to post your message in that thread. We try to keep the forums free from duplicate topics as much as possible. Many of the things you brought up were discussed in the thread, including the rumor that DF was originally a B&M design. http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=21005 In the future, you may want to do a Search (its in the top list below the banner, third link in) especially for threads that may be common. Again, welcome to the boards. Hope you have fun!
