Yes, I said I was going back into review mode, but an incident came up today, and I wanted to vent a little bit on it...


The subject in question?

Theme Parks:

Leaking Classified Attraction Info


Busch Gardens Williamsburg, just outside of Williamsburg Virginia, just had classified 2012 attraction info leaked to the public.

This was not one of those "controlled leaks" that was meant to tease us, it was EVERYTHING.

EVERYTHING About their new AutoBahn themed coaster for 2012 was revealed:

-Manufacturer
-Layout
-Indoor Section
-Theming
-Special First Of Its Kind In US Element

Every last bit, including detailed sketchs and concept art, were leaked to the public this morning.

Busch Gardens had been working for over two years to get this massive, thrilling family coaster to be built. In just a few moments, someone, an employee of Busch, leaked that classified info to the public.

Harmless right? WRONG! Theme parks compete with one another, trying to out do each other. In order to stay afloat in the industry, parks keep their new attractions secret until the last possible moment in order to prevent parks from ousing their plans.

Displaying info like that is very dangerous for BGW. Rival parks could decide to out-do the attraction, and BGW would loose revenue.

I absolutely despise situations like these.

I'm in love with all the amazing things this ride is going to have in it, but at the same time, I'm also infuriated that this was leaked before it's schedueled release.

Info like that is hidden away for a reason. When people betray companies like that, they are also causing them a loss of revenue.

That's all for now. I'll write a follow up that talks about the coaster and its elements.

Also, I made a poll about the names that Busch is considering to give to their AutoBahn themed coaster. I will alert people when it is up.

That's all the rants for now, bye!
