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! 😍

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

For the record, the entire Globe theater was 100% filled within minutes of the doors opening. Never underestimate the BGW fandom. This probably could have been an at-capacity Das Festhaus presentation!

There's still a ton of construction activity around Wolf's Revenge's ride plaza this evening. Really down to the wire ahead of tomorrow, but things are looking splendid!

There's also a maypole (once again, reflective of what we've seen around the ride area) and this ADORABLE wooden fencing with little wolf heads in the negative space. Love!

There's also a lot of beer barrel theming around the plaza reminiscent of what we've spotted around the coaster's ride area. Scärkegebräu 1785? Anyone know what this is a reference to?
