BGE 250 Drop Tower 2011 and Multi-Launch Coaster 2012

I was saying, it is only September 4, chill the out.

Whoops.

Oh. Well of course I knew that today was September 4, but im asking when the announcement is going to be. Considering Virginia can get hit pretty hard in winter, September is late enough for an announcement to be made. Has track even arrived at the park yet?

And if my question wasnt clear before ..... when will the announcement date be?
If anyone knows .....

Well of course, no one argued this? You're thinking very black and white. That doesn't change the fact that Alpengeist has a tame theme and colour scheme than most rides of it's kind. On top of that, physically speaking, Alpengeist is a pretty tame invert anyway, so I don't honestly have a clue what you're talking about.

Alpengeist is themed to a ski-lift gone horribly wrong. Not sure how you construe that theme to be a tame one.

As far as being a tame invert, I'm just going to guess that you haven't been on many, as it is definitely one of the more forceful examples of it's kind.

^ yeah I was going to say, I thought Alpengeist was one of the more really intense inverts out there. Like the first half is INSANE, and then the second lets up a bit to let you breathe.

Im really surprised BGE is taking so long with this announcement. Is this usually the way they do things?
I hope Verbolten will be good (and honestly not a fail like mach tower was)

 

[rollermonkey]

Maybe they were waiting to get Mach Tower open before announcing the next attraction?

I mean it did open super late and all.

 

[Josh73]

Perhaps. I just relly excited about this coaster for some reason. It will look really cool and fits the atmosphere of BGE.

Rode Mach Tower today...

Don't know why all the bitching about it. I thought it was good fun.

Oh, and the construction area for "Verbolten" is HUGE. Didn't see any evidence of the rumored new bridging of the Rhine, and I rode the train and the River cruise to check.

(Why is this thread still in News & Rumors? Construction began a long time ago.)

Probably needs locking, this topic is a bit full of crap from Mach Tower. A new topic in construction would be best.

EDIT: Here we go, all 2012 coaster disgussion to go here from now on! viewtopic.php?f=4&t=32477&start=0
