Thats a cool idea! Busch Gardens lacks in flat rides so a big drop ride would fit nicely!

BGW used to have a lot of flat rides but they have been vanishing over the years. A drop tower would be nice but I would rather see a terrain woodie go in the park instead.

I do agree on Busch Gardens Williamsburg needing a free-fall. If they are getting one anytime soon, it should be extremely themed! Knowing Busch Gardens and their expertise in theming, I know composing a drop ride theme will be a synch for them. They need more thrill rides as well. I didn't say roller coasters, I said thrill rides. Latahz all!

we always thought the obvious choice for a BGW freefall would be an Intamin Giant Drop set back in Italy and made to look like a giant Roman column.

Cool idea, Robert. <IMG SRC="/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">
<BR>
<BR>I think that they need a freefall too, but I really think they need a wooden coaster. These two things would help to "complete the park".

All parks need a drop tower, IMO. They are my favorite rides after coasters!

maybe with Busch funding cut backs they will buil more flate rides because they don't coast as much as a coaster

Yes, BGW does need one, but they probably won't get one since it'll be really hard to theme.

Busch Gardens Williamsburg should get some sort of Intamin giant drop or gyro drop because y'all know they'll make a great theme for it! Busch Gardens is always good with theming. That would be awesome if they did get a giant drop ride for Busch Gardens Williamsburg. I wanna see it happen soon!

BGW definitely needs a freefall - they also need a wooden terrain coaster.
