The park are making a big announcement in just over half an hour.

Ah yes, I misread, sorry :)

^I think Helix will be better, but not miles better.

SOMETHING'S BREWING AT BUSCH GARDENS.... NEW BEGINNINGS COME FROM OLD TRADITIONS. WE'LL BE POURING OUT THE DETAILS SOON. STAY TUNED FOR MORE NEWS ON BREWS.

This is so weird. Surely they have not deployed the hype packages for some sort of beer event?

Only thing I can think of is that apparently the old brewery used to be where Gwazi is now.

Announcement April 30th. New Ride? Bier Fest? Seems a bit early for Bier Fest, doesn't start until August 25th.

SkyForce soft opened 4 weeks before media day. Not saying Icon will be the same, but BPB do like to do softs :)

True, 5 days is not a lot, but 14 days of reduced hours is a lot :)

I've been 5 times this season, all during weekends or school holidays, dead every day. I can only speak from personal experience given that the park do not have a queue time monitoring system. Granted, the weather hasn't been great, but it was only horrendous on one of the days. The fact that...

This is supposed to be open in two and a bit months!?

Sky Rocket II is a good coaster model, it would fit BGT well. But it's still not RMC!! I always figured that we would see a Sky Rocket II in Orlando and San Antonio rather than Tampa.

To be fair, the weather has been pants on all my visits this year. Thoroughly drenched, and that's before Valhalla.

BGT is one of the best parks in the US! These markings do look eerily similar to Mean Streak and the like. In terms of the wood, I'm sure some of it is still usable, but they can always put in new wood as well as use steel to reinforce the wood.

Indeed, the park has been extremely quiet so far this season. Every coaster walk on with just one train running during the school holidays.

Surely there can't be over a month's worth of work left with the ride having been handed over to the park already? We've still got half of April left and minimal work left to complete. Maybe they want to do a few weeks of soft openings before the official opening as they did with SkyForce.

Staff on park today saying that BPB now have control over the ride, with Mack still there for support. They are also saying it will open anywhere from late April to mid May,depending on how generous the weather is.

Go a few pages back :)

We were talking about a new restaurant called Coasters that opened this past Saturday, not ICON :p EDIT: Beaten to it!
