Yoshi Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I never got to ride it either. In all my past trips (most recent being 2003) it looked like it was too much for me. After becoming an enthusiast I was looking forward to trying some kind of Arrow Suspended and figured BBW would be around for a long time and I would try it on my next trip to Busch Gardens. Unfortunately that isn't going to happen now and with only Iron Dragon, Top Gun and Ninja left in the US, I hope I can at least try one of those coasters before they are removed. With the way so many Arrow Suspended coasters have either been removed or converted to the floorless Vekoma train in just the last few years, I am worried that they are all going to be a thing of the past soon.

After BBW, I was very disappointed in Iron Dragon. It didn't have a hill like BBW and the atmosphere was lousy. BBW had great atmosphere, going through the village, through woods and over the river and creek. Unfortunately too many coasters are just thrown on a slab of cement. BBW is a big loss.

warnerleroy Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Maybe a new coaster will use the village theming. Could just a new, more reliable version of BBW be in the works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted September 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Here's some of the original concept art from Schwarzkopf. Too bad they didn't get to build it...their concept was way beyond Arrow's capabilities! Not that Arrow didn't build a good ride, just not as AMAZING as this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Adventurer Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 I loved this ride. It was the only coaster my mom rode in Busch Gardens, and while it looked relatively tame, it gave the ride of a lifetime. Farewell, Big Bad Wolf. You'll be missed. A lot.
