I kinda disagree. They may not be able to respond directly, but they have a huge platform from which to provide information.
Im not sure they are as strict on it as they once were. I know of a few that for well over a year have posted photos and live videos from around the park in the off season as well as before opening for the day. One in particular posted quite a few photos of FF while being built. The posts are very easily identifiable because they narrate them as to what they are doing.
I don’t think they “need” to do anything in this case. It’s some random post in a private group where a few people are confused. Those people will figure it out when they visit BGW and Wirbelwind is still there.
Of course, a post explaining the maintenance that goes into Der Wirbelwind would be interesting, but it’s not really necessary to respond to anyone here.
So my kinda $0.02 to this, not knowing this group or anything like that; but BGW keeping tabs here and 'taking it out' on BGWFans, then not caring about something like that is a little backwards to me. Like I know there's a few parks that actually share their offseason maintenance work updates so when a picture gets out there like that, they have social meqiaout there of what's really going on.
I’d say it’s not really the same as BGWFans since BGWFans provides either leaked info or critiques of the park to a large audience, whereas this is just a few misinformed people on Facebook commenting on an easily-debunked problem.
As for the leaked info - ever since I've been a ParkFans member, most of what I've seen is pulled from JCC which is public record.
As for the critiques - isn't the possible spreading of a falsity of a ride being removed is worse than a constructive criticism? I feel like it is, especially with how positive BGWFans can be quite often.

Yeah, that's been there forever - but good for your picture to point out it's from a hybrid if Zierer and Shwarzkopf
Anton's brother worked for Zierer. While there was almost certainly informal cross-work this has nothing to do with the Schwarzkopf coasters at a legal/business level -- at least not at the time they were built. When Schwarzopf ended Zierer did end up with a very small percentage of the company's assets IIRC but the majority of everything went to Maurer and Gerstlaurer. I do believe that there were times that Schwarzkopf )the company) and Zierer partnered on some rides but when it comes to the Wave Swinger, the design was Franz's and the production was Zierer in all cases.
Wonder if they’re going to do what they did with tradewind. General refurb + led lights
I’d rather they fix Verbolten.
Yeah and if they did like a quarter of them are burnt out already (swings lights)
It blew away, in the Werblewind.
JK, it's still there, just out of the frame of the photos.
I think?
Wait, lol where is it?
That first picture is the ride platform (you can see the Der werbelwind sign, as well as the cubbies for the ride in the back), occupied with everything but that ride
Maybe it is going back to it's old location??
