News: Busch Gardens new ride is a big surprise

Posted at 12:26 PM EDT (1626 GMT)

Sep. 10th, 2004 -- Busch Gardens Williamsburg has kept their newest attraction a big secret and rumors across coastal Virginia have been floating around abundantly.

The only thing the park has mentioned is through a sign around the project area. It says "The other side is closer than you think." Park officials are very tight-lipped, only saying that the new ride is a thrill ride that will push the envelope of theme park technology. The 40,000 square-foot area will be the home of something special come next spring.

DEJA-VU RULES, have you even read anything in the 2005 construction? Does this actually look like it can fit a big coaster? http://www.screamscape.com/html/bgw_..._side_3.html /> Also, it said the thrill ride pushes the envelope of theme park technology. A) It said thrillride B) A coaster would not push the envelope on theme park technology.

Doesn't BGW already have a 4-D attraction? Correct me if I'm wrong, I thought I heard they had one a few years back. And "The other side is closer than you think"? Maybe themed to the afterlife? I think a dark ride themed to heaven/hell would be pretty cool.
