BGT future holds what?

What might be next for BGT and when? I have heard in the past Hypercoaster or Inverted-Standup. I really don't know though.

They need an Intamin hypercoaster, that would be awesome. I don't think we'll see an inverted standup like ever.

It won't be an inverted stand-up because

1) They don't exist.
2) They never will exist.
3) It's stupid.
4) They already have an inverted coaster.

WHERES THE ROOM!? Look at that huge infield they got by Gwazi. Taking down Python would create room. Also, the infamous water pool area behind Kumba where a coaster was rumored to take place a year or 2 ago.

If they leave the seats straigt up, then they could make it a inverted standup.

Great pics.

No use in starting rumors this early.
Busch parks take 3 years between rides.

I don't expect anything at BGT or BGW for at least 2 more years.

At least they give us full length full theamed rides.

I'll wait, and I know its gonna be good because both parks opened the simulator/adventure ride to take care of the family people this year. Now it's time for another thrill ride.

Those are renderings of Air trains, not stand-up inverted trains.

And what would be the point of inverted stand-up trains? Inverted coasters were made to make your legs swing, but this is the same idea as the normal stand-up.

Some of you people are so stupid.

Oh yeah, about the wicked kewl coaster pics you posted, they ain't for a stand-up inverted. They're the trains for B&M's new prototype flying coaster, AIR, debuting next year at Alton Towers.

They have more room to expand. They can relocate the resovior for the raft ride and build back there. They also own more than people think they own. They have plenty of room to expand... But, I wouldn't count on seeing something until at least 2003.

I don't think they are getting a floorless. Infact, it would be down right stupid of them. Their sister park Sea World just got one an hour away. Why would they build something like it?

I agree..... The first Hyper in Florida sounds like a good advertising hook..also Florida's tallest and possibly longest..... another good hook

So then what about Tower of Terror, The Kissimme Skycoaster, Katanga, The Tampa and Miami Skylines, etc. (all over 200ft)

There is no 200 ft celing in Florida. If there was a coaster height limit it would be set by the individual county not the state.

The state of Florida DOES NOT have a height restriction... BUT they do require any structure over 200 feet to have aircraft awareness lights on top. That is why Disney has been reluctant to build anything with those blinking lights on top. I think Disney should use those lights to their advantage by incorporating them into their theming.

So, if BGT does build anything over 200 feet, you will see aircraft awareness lights on the structure.

If they get a Hyper they need it to be a B&M because Intamin's (I Think) suck.
