'The beast is back' | New roller coaster announced for Busch Gardens Williamsburg
The inverted family-friendly roller coaster pays homage to one of the park's old but popular rides, the Big Bad Wolf, which operated from 1984 to 2010.
I'm really hoping they actually follow through with theming this thing.... It's going to make or break it. They dropped the ball with Pantheon but at least it is a fun coaster but DarKoaster is just a complete failure without the full theming.
One of my bigger complaints about BGW as a whole is the theming. I just don’t feel like the countries, rides, and other theming all flow together well. Then some rides have potential for theming and it falls flat, and some don’t even try.
BGW really just stopped maintaining stuff. The theming in that park was just a little below Disney but after the holdings company took over they just stopped fixing things when it broke and that has led to a subtle but yet very noticeable difference. Then you look at rides like Verbolten which has degraded a ton solely because they didn't maintain the theme elements in the building leaving the dark forest not so dark.
