Lintemuthstudios Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 If BGW really does get a Screamin Swing in 2019, that pretty much confirms whatever Project Madrid ends up being will be a coaster. Probably a giga, according to the height rumors. I wonder if it'll end up being like Fury 325, given the fact that they already have a airtime machine in Apollo's Chariot, and another sort-of airtime machine with Invadr.

CoasterAuditor Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 ^ I think if they build an S&S Sreamin' Swing in 2019 it means they're building an S&S Screamin' Swing in 2019 and I for one could not care less what else gets added to this amazing wonderful theme park that I love so much anymore because they will then have my favorite flat.

thrillseeker4552 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Screamin' Swings are amazing flat rides, so if this is true that would be a great addition to an already great park. Considering they have received 3 coasters in the last 6 years, a large flat like this is perfect IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainUnknown Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 If it is a Screamin' Swing (which would be OK by me), they should put it in Scotland and call it the "Highland Fling." What about Highland Swing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 ^ I see where you are going with that, but personally Highland Fling sounds better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 How's 'ol Mach Tower doing these days? Is it usually open day to day or is it still "I'll count on it being down but if it's open that's cool." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genx24 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I was there this past Thursday and Friday and Mach Tower was operating both days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcoaster Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 A screamin swing in Ireland would be a perfect fit, I’m on board with that. As for project Madrid, who said it is happening for 2020 as well as being a new coaster on top of that? If it is a new hamlet I wouldn’t expect it to be ready until 2021-2022 the earliest.

Skittles Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Hi TPR, As a stop on my summer trip, I'll be visiting Busch Gardens Williamsburg on Wednesday, July 18th. How should crowds be? Is there a good itinerary for how to get each credit, and are there any notable non-coaster rides that I should check out? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted July 8, 2018 Author Share Posted July 8, 2018 (edited) You shouldn't have any big crowd-related issues on a Wednesday. The park tends to open in phases, so you might want to head toward Griffon and InvadR first (Germany and Italy tend to open later). If you're into water rides, hit Pompeii and LeScoot (the log flume). Edited July 8, 2018 by cfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterAuditor Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 When I was there on Friday they have a "move your locker" system for $6 which I found to be efficient and nice. Doesn't stop morons from taking snapchats on rides like Le Scoot where I saw some guy going down the drop with his phone out. Side note: Rode InvadR for the first time friday. Cool ride, only rode once in the back after the 3ish hour long rain delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Apollo's Chariot briefly stopped on the midcourse and reopened 10 minutes later. Nobody on the train cared, except for Timolyn Tillman who (of course) is a lawyer. Coincidentally, only 3 people "suffered concussions" from the routine block stop and it just-so-happened to be the lawyer and her 2 family members. I hate America.

CoasterAuditor Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I heard about this and it is absolute BS. Of COURSE a lawyer was on that train and wants to sue and get the incident media coverage. People are ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiftThrill Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 If coming to an e-stop on the midcourse causes a concussion, then Boomerang brakes cause a f*cking skull fracture. why are people like this???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JG-77 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 It’s like amusement parks themed to different European countries are cursed to get a fire. First Europa and now here! Yeah ik Europa’s Fire was quite bigger but it’s still a somewhat interesting coincidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm this that it was a small roof fire. Thank you for banning such idiots that spread this crap. Even if you were near the ride, you wouldn’t have been able to tell.
