Boom, BGW's are always a good time to shift some dead wood.

Journalism clearly matters else these vultures wouldn't be so desperate to copy BGW's homework. But the media landscape has trained everyone to feel entitled to whatever they want, to eradicate all sense of ownership and authorship. Why pay for anything or do any work when some other shmuck will
All right, here's the first call out. Within hours of me publishing an incredibly in-depth piece on CMON's finances, which covers a multitude of stock exchange filings from across several weeks, this article appeared on @tabletopgamingnews.bsky.social:

Here's the full food (+ refresher) lineup at the new-for-2025 Polish booth at BGW's Food & Wine Festival! Everything is reasonably good, but the Strawberry Rhubarb Kompot is a standout—huge fan!

Maybe I'm in the minority, but "Project 305" as the temporary name last season sounded better.
Also more confusing that "Pantherian" is too close to Virginia's OTHER Intamin, BGW's "Pantheon."

The new Sangria Gelatin at the Sangria Gardens booth continues the odd, perennial, Food & Wine Festival trend of great, super underappreciated dishes at BGW's drink-focused booths. HIGHLY recommend this chill, fruity, and slightly boozy dessert! 🤩

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...?

And here's the full lineup for BGW's second new-for-2025 Food & Wine booth, China! Once again, solid across the board! The panda is cute, but it's not just a pretty face—it was probably my fav. This booth is a CLEAR improvement over South Korea if you ask me.

Surprisingly well tbh! Had to take a couple of hits due to suspensions, BGW's, transfers and played without a GK. Scored 58 (-8) which I was well pleased with. 😁 How about you?

Very good speculation! Is the timing of these articles to be out ahead of BGW’s 50th anniversary event on the 16th? The press release hinted they’d touch on plans for the future in addition to celebrating the past

My honest thoughts on the new Big Bad Wolf going to Busch Gardens Williamsburg…
Should be interesting to see how it compares to Phoenix Rising at BGW’s sister park, but it’s basically the roller coaster equivalent to a legacy sequel.

So I've now ridden all but 4 of the operating B&M Dive Coasters, and I've got to say, this is one of the prettiest.
Gyeongju World did a fantastic job with Draken and its theming, and it's a really fun ride too (even if it is a clone of BGW's Griffon)!

There are challenges with both. BGW's line skips are typically to assigned rows, so you can't sit in the best seats. KD doesn't offer line skips for several coasters, including Grizzly, and you can't use it for front row at Pantherian.
Ultimately, it's a question of your preferences/priorities.

Think time is up for Nicolas Jackson in my team. I can take his possible price drop tonight without a change in sale price. No alternatives are close to going up so there is time to mull replacements and how they fit into chip strategy, BGW's and DGW's.

Thanks to other articles posted this morning, it's now "Pantherian".
