I like the drop and high-speed turn over the lake like the outgoing Big Bad Wolf
I would think they can do a coaster with a similer drop over the lake either
like you have at the beginning or at the end as the hi-lite of the ride

can I here a "Wolfs Revenge"
or is that Wolves Revenge or "Revenge of the Big Bad Wolf"
as the Name of here said coaster or is it already in the works  ;)

I have to  bust out my nolimits

rcdb is showing the park will get coaster made by INTAMIN. I'm seeing pictures show up on screamscape links showing footers and landscape changes. And if you look further down on the BGT page you'll see a picture with a possible layout for the ride, primarily showing it's a launch coaster.

Here's the link:
http://screamscape.com/html/busch_gardens_tampa.htm
Look a little more than 2/3rds of the way down near the bottom of the page and there's a layout in red shown on the right that you can enlarge for a better picture. The guy says it's around 4,800 ft long.

There is also a photo from the factory out there that clearly shows it is Intamin track :).  I can't wait for this one!

I wonder if it will be a Storm runner design or a maverick design, they both have about the same length and have some interesting elements in their respective layouts.

Storm Runner is almost 2,000 feet shorter than Maverick. ;)

Really? I guess I spoke to quickly, now it's probably gonna be a Maverick like design then.

Yeah. Storm Runner is a pretty short ride. It's very good and well-paced, but Maverick is much more complete yet still leaves me wanting a bit more.

Maverick was a lot of fun when I rode it, but yes I do agree with you. The ride left me wondering what could of made it better and I honestly can't think of anything. I just wish that it didn't have the OTSR's, many complain about the cheap jabs you get while riding and that's one of the few things keeping the ride from a higher spot in the rankings. I wouldn't mind if a cousin-coaster is made because that style of ride has too much potential to be wasted on only 1 or 2 designs, there's so many layouts and elements open to it and that really gets my attention why there weren't more built in the last 3 years.

See the new restraints on I-305 at Kings Dominion.  Perhaps Cedar Fair will see fit to retrofit Maverick some day.

I find Maverick to be superb in the front row...ONLY.

I rode in the second row, it was still very good either way. And after six years of complaint with the OTSR's Intamin steel trains have these days, you'd think they change something.

I'm actually wondering how much they might improve Ka after hearing such good reviews of I305 afterwards.

They recently replaced Ka's restraints with what looks to be the old i305 restraints.
(Maybe they got a good price for them?)
I doubt it will be getting the comfy soft version.

Some of the most important information I have learned about this industry (and about life in general) has come during asides.  Going purposely off topic is bad.  Taking a meaningful aside is not.  One must use moderation in all things.

I probably shouldn't have waded there, though.

Or sumthin'.

definitely a blitz coaster, and by my guess the ride will be themed to either a bird or a really fast land animal.

Crap, and it was my fault lol

Actually, it was both mine and matt's fault for talking about maverick. How we got to kingda ka is news to me...
