Darn, I was hoping for some Drachen Fire info!!!!

DOWN WITH TRIM BRAKES!

I was hoping for a wooden coaster announcement. Maybe for 2002...

I'm not surprised. How can you top Alpengeist and Apollo's Chariot?

According to posts on RRC by BGW insiders, this is just a retheming of the Hastings (England) area of the park.

Well, I'm dissapointed. I hope this isn't another year of rediculous Drachen Fire rumors without any official word from the park. I mean, can we go just one week without having to hear that this once great coaster is being moved or torn down?

I believe DF is officially up for sale ... at least it's listed as such somewhere ... oh, goodness, where'd I put that URL ...

Does anyone here miss Questor?

No. And I Was Really Really Hoping For A coaster
To Compete With PKD

The asking price is 4,500,000, does anyone know what the orignal price of Drachen Fire was?

Acctually,I heard somewhere that if they did re-open DF that they would not advertise it as a new ride,just open it like it was never closed...

On www.rcdb.com, they list Drachen Fire as costing $4 million to make.

Looking for a profit, eh? Good luck ... for a used coaster that's (so they say) a lawsuit-magnet.

Went on BGW website and was disappointed to read nothing. Anyone know where there is a story?

Anyone know what the small attractions will be? They really need to add to their flat rides package.

Someone told me that they were going to rebuild DF to make it smoother. I Guess Not.

All i want In Flat rides are frisbee,hawk,Inverter,fly Away,chaos
knowing BGW I Know They can Theme These Rides

Why did they stop running DF? Why is for sale?
