  • King Ludwig’s abandoned fortress resurfaces as strange weather patterns have been recorded near the cursed castle grounds. Only the bravest souls will embark on snowmobiles in this dark expedition to discover the mysterious phenomenon. A supernatural force is imminent as explorers discover that they are evading more than just a raging storm.
    Escape the storm on the ALL-NEW DarKoaster™, the world’s first all-indoor straddle coaster, launching in 2023 at Busch Gardens® Williamsburg. Traveling on snowmobiles across 2,454 feet of track, daring explorers race through total darkness while changing course to avoid the elements. As the weather strikes, riders encounter four accelerating launches on this family-friendly dark ride experience.

    I love how Busch Gardens continues its storytelling with werewolves, storms, castles, and monsters. Verbolten was forced to carry ALL of that when DarKastle and Big Bad Wolf closed.

      @@ryan-uk6jf it’s just vague. ALPENGEIST has a literal identity issue. Sometimes it’s advertised with the Abominable Snowman and making you think it’s a forest monster. But it’s described as a “runaway ski lift” and has ski decorations. It wants to be both without doing the work.

    "For those of you who are unfamiliar, a block zone is a section of track that only one train may occupy at a time. At the end of a block zone is a method to stop a train in case the next block zone is still occupied. This is the safety system that prevents roller coaster trains from colliding with one another."

    What a fantastic way to keep the DarKastle buildings in play. I was worried they'd be permanent event space. 2,400 feet isn't huge, but the DarKastle show building is bigger than that of Verbolten. I'm sure this will be a pleasant enough little jaunt. I wish they could take it to Manta levels from SeaWorld San Diego, but this looks more like Wave Breaker, but indoors, even down to snowmobiles being an easy swap for wave runners.
    Now to find a use for the old Drachen Fire spot...

    I cried like a baby when DarKastle closed. My dad worked at Busch Gardens throughout my whole childhood and he helped wire and build that ride, and he’s unfortunately no longer with us. He was a major roller coaster fanatic, so I’m pretty stoked that they’re bringing it back in this fashion. When I heard about DarKoaster, I just about jumped out of my seat haha. Hopefully it’s a good ride 💛 I like the premise

    • @zacg_
      @zacg_ Před rokem

      Pantheon is phenomenal as a coaster but they really dropped the ball on presentation. What's really aggravating is knowing that the theming could have been so good if they wanted to make it so and BGW normally excels when it comes to presentation and aesthetics. That queue line could have been in the halls of an ancient Roman temple with the loading station under the rotunda. And they could have added rock work and ancient ruins of the Roman gods plus a water feature. They wouldn't even need any practical effects or audio-animatronics (though that would have been amazing.) But just those kind of thematic elements and a bold soundtrack would have made Pantheon the most talked of coaster in 2022.

      The Tampa park has a solid coaster lineup but always lacked a good dark ride. Something like this would be nice, but they already have several family coasters. Seaworld entertainment has experience with trackless dark rides already (although maybe not good experience), but I feel a people-mover based (or oldmill) classic would really work here. Wishful thinking perhaps?
