After its removal, the beautiful ravine between New France and Rhinefeld will have plenty of extra room for a new roller coaster. Better yet? The timing is perfect-BGW’s aging Arrow log flume, Le Scoot, is on its last legs. The park’s Canadian-themed area has never featured a roller coaster, but BGW has decided that it is time to change that. Busch Gardens Williamsburg is planning to add a huge new Bolliger & Mabillard Dive Machine to the park’s New France hamlet. The eye-opening insight he gave us into the project is truly astounding and we can’t possibly thank him enough for it. Finally, we will close with some major new exclusive information about what to expect from this classic log flume when it opens in 2016.īefore I move on to all of that though, I need to take a moment to thank Larry Giles for making this post possible. The next section will be dedicated to explaining what the park has done for the ride over the last four years.

In this post, we will start by running through Le Scoot’s recent history and explain what lead to this massive undertaking. What we learned through that informal interview conveyed to us, without the slightest doubt, that the sentiment referenced in the paragraph above was not only well deserved, but possibly even selling the park short. From the beginning of this project, BGWFans has expressed time and time again how impressed we are that the park is making the investments required to restore this 1975 park original.Ī few days ago BGWFans met with Larry Giles, Busch Gardens Williamsburg’s Vice President of Engineering, specifically to discuss the Le Scoot project. As many of you know, Busch Gardens Williamsburg has spent the last three years renovating the park’s 41 year-old Arrow log flume, Le Scoot.
