Two new Summer 2026 shows are "Across the Pond! Legends of the UK" which sounds like a British music show. Big news though: BGW is bringing back a major nighttime spectacular show next year with "Kinetix: A New Generation!" Love to see the return of Kinetix! 😍

Just want to make sure people's expectations are properly calibrated for tomorrow. Rumors this summer indicated that the "Italian Le Mans" plans were shelved. Instead, another rumored project we wrote about back in the spring has been fast-tracked: a Verbolten thematic upgrade. Expect that tomorrow.

Check out this EXCELLENT new nighttime Wolf's Revenge POV from CoasterStudios: youtu.be/YfBfetEG-gM
The red light from the eyes on the train's zero car and the lighting in the village looks so, so good. Could this be BGW's new best night ride...?

Broad Wolf's Revenge consensus from BGW fans I've run into so far tonight:
— Great, low-intensity family coaster.
— NOTABLY better in every way (layout, presentation, theming, smoothness, etc) than its sister coaster, Phoenix Rising.
— Presentation/theming is ELITE
