Pardon my overuse of quotation marks here, but...
Busch Gardens has "leaked" the "plans" for the 2017 addition. Download the entire PDF here.
I pulled a few pages from the file for preview:
After careful analysis, seem like the log flume may be the next ride to go. There will be a trench according to site plan at the southeast corner of the site, perhaps an open air tunnel under maintenance road? This is looking like a wooden roller coaster to me.
Edit: Here is my guess, yes, I drew it. What do you guys think? Seem plausible?
That would be undeniably incredible. Heavily themed terrain hugging launch coaster prowling the back of the park. I suspect the scope of the ride that gets built will be relatively limited (between Alpie's helix and the New France train station) but there is an awful lot of useable real estate between Festhaus and the amphitheater...
Isn't Verbolten a launched smaller steel coaster? Can't see another one of those going in when they just added one. All I can tell from Gonch's pics is that there are a lot of mentions of drainage areas/pipes. Could this be some sort of re-do of the flume ride?

It looks to me like the log flume will travel directly over the station, and interact with the portions of the ride closest to the station. That's about all I can decipher from looking at both the "leaked" plans and an overhead satellite image of the area.

Without knowingly ever seeing that picture, that's exactly what I was imagining.
BGWFans website has a really interesting in-depth article on the new ride.

Good stuff. I was going to ask if anyone tried to overlay the plans onto an aeiral view.
