Based on suspicious-looking, proposed concrete pads we spotted back in October, we guessed that these areas were likely some sort of track switch segments-likely the same type of track switch that is being used on Pantheon this year. As you can see from the layout, the course seems to diverge and merge with the longest straight section towards the bottom left. Secondly, the station area is, well, really wacky. With a pretty solid hypothetical track layout established, what can we gather about this new coaster? First off, the layout confirms that this will be Busch Gardens Williamsburg’s first-ever shuttle coaster (as we first theorized back in October!) Riders will complete ( most of?) the course forwards and then again backwards. For more context, check out the map in our BGW Project 2021 tracker. Quick note: For anyone who is unfamiliar, in short, Busch Gardens Williamsburg’s 2021 roller coaster is being built behind Verbolten and across the Rhine River from Pantheon. So with support pairs established, all we really need to do is connect the dots and lines to get a roughly accurate top-down layout for Busch Gardens Williamsburg’s 2021 roller coaster.īetter yet, we can take that layout and overlay it onto the actual site on which it will be constructed. Hence, look at the triangular structures at either end of the course as indicators of spikes, not necessarily as an accurate representation of the shape of the support structure itself. That said, though we can reliably predict that the elements at either end of the course are spikes, we have no way of knowing exactly how the track will be shaped or how the the support structure will actually be designed. Because the footer paths just end with triangular footer arrangements, we can pretty safely assume that both of these elements are spikes of some kind-segments of (typically vertical) dead-end track where the roller coaster train stalls near the peek and then falls back down the track the same way it entered. The only footer pairings in the map above where my confidence level is below, say, 99%, are at the two ends of the course (where the triangle shapes are). Sometimes this can be a bit challenging, but thanks to the spread-out layout of Busch Gardens Williamsburg’s 2021 roller coaster, this process is really straight-forward this time around. Our next step is to estimate which of the footers in the map above will most likely link together to support a single segment of track. Don’t worry, we’re going to break it down as best we can.įirst off, lets simplify the plan above by removing some of the extraneous information and highlighting all of the footers shown. The seam between the two pages isn’t perfect (there’s a lot of distortion to deal with since all of these images are from photographs instead of scans or digital files) but for our purposes I think it’s plenty good enough.įor many of you, I’m sure the raw blueprint above is a bit overwhelming.

Any of the previously reported documents that I reference in today’s article should be available somewhere on that page. As of Friday, we finally got our hands on a footer plan for Busch Gardens Williamsburg’s next roller coaster-a project we have been referring to as BGW Project 2021.īefore we continue, I encourage anyone who hasn’t been actively following our reporting on this attraction to check out our full 2021 project tracker, here. This is the big one guys-these are the Busch Gardens Williamsburg 2021 coaster site plans we’ve been waiting for since we first heard about an incredibly tall height survey taking place in January of last year. If you’d like to skip ahead to that newer piece (no hard feelings, I swear) here’s a link. January 21st Update: Many of the questions left unanswered by this article were solved one day after its publication thanks to a leaked schematic that clearly depicts the track and supports for Busch Gardens Williamsburg’s 2021 roller coaster! We are proud of the article below and encourage you to give it a read if you want to get really into the weeds on this project, but ultimately the follow-up is more informative.
