Prepare for an invasion of the Vikings to New France @ BGW in 2017.

In 2017, a great battle will ensue in the trappers' village of New France. Vikings will invade, forcing the trappers to defend their village. Invade new territory on the first wooden coaster at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. The 74-foot drop makes it a force to be feared and nine airtime hills wait to be conquered by bold warriors. Chart a course through the winding frontier at 48 mph and claim eternal glory for your crew.

Not a fan of the name choices. Invadr sounds like an outer space theme and the other two are just meh. I vote 'Valhalla Vortex.' :thumbup:

[EDIT] 'Viking Raider' is actually alright but I feel like 'Raider' alone is better.

Cedar fair only seem to be building one coaster per year now so once again KD gets the shaft next year and with the rotation being between only their big four parks that means that the park won't be getting another coaster for years to come since canada's wonderland is already rumored to get something in 18.

I'd much r ather have paramount parks management back in charge instead of CF because at least we got new rides back then.

Now you know how Carowinds' fans felt when paramount was is charge. KD and KI were getting all the new rides and Carowinds got hand me downs or nothing at all. I could've sworn I heard KD got Mondial frisbee ride this year.

That's all they got this year. I would much rather have shockwave back and delerium moved eleswhere in the park. Cedar fair needs to recognize that the other parks in the chain need new coasters as well and not just their big four spoiled parks.

That's all they got? Are you complaining that that's all they got! You spoiled little turd you lol. KD has gotten SOMETHING every damn year since FOREVER but yet you complain . . .

More than half the parks in America go YEARS without even a new light bulb but yet you complain . . .

Do yourself a favor and not return to a theme park ever.

Much truth.
Lots wow.
I honestly will never understand why people complain about what a park may or may not get. Do you have millions of dollars? Do you own a park? Do you have 20+ years of knowledge in the industry? Okay then.

I don't have any of that either, yet I'm not complaining. Several of us here know what it's like to run a park or any other business and know what it takes. I don't own one and even I know what it takes. That's why they aren't complaining about what a park gets. Because they know what it's like :thumbup:

Congrats to those of you on here who own a business or have lots of knowledge and insight on how one works.

It does seem that Kings Dominion is significantly falling behind right now, as Carowinds has the bigger ride collection. :sarcasm:

I have been on Psyclone at Canada's Wonderland, which is basically the same ride as Delirium, and I perfur it over Skyrider, which is also the same ride as Shockwave.


I also been hearing that King's Island may be the next park to get a B&M Giga.
