BGW Rumor

I read a rumor on thrillnerds.com that in the next few years the park is planning to tear down the Royal Palace Theatre in Aquitaine where Imaginique is performed and relocate it over to wher Drachen Fire used to be. They would put a new coaster where the theatre was. I never see this happening for several reasons. One, it would just cost way too much money to tear the building down and rebuild it somewhere else. Two, Imaginique is a very popular show and I doubt they would want to remove it or retheme it to a German show. Three, since the relocated theatre would be in Oktoberfest, that area already has a major theatre with Das Festhaus so it wouldn't fit in that great. Four, if DF didn't attract many people because of it's location and it was a coaster, a show definately is not going to draw people to that back corner of the park. Five, they can't put a big coaster in Aquitaine because of the noise. Kingsmill is right back there. The reason they have the walls surrounding the back of the theatre now is to block some of the noise. I would think a coaster would make more noise than the show. We already know a new Imaginique is coming next season so this obviously will not happen. That theatre has been there since the park opened and many special events are held there. The park would lose money in getting rid of it. The other rumor on the site was that they will build another country back on the other side of apollo which i could see them doing that and maybe building Spain or Greece. anyways, what do you guys think?

Ok, tear down a large theater just so they could move it to another part of the park that's currently empty. Then build a coaster where the theater used to be.

Uh huh. Lets see- cheaper, easier, and much more sense to just build the new attraction, if they're going to build one, where Drachen Fire used to be. My opinion- not going to happen. Just to silly.
